Total 12
Grand total 1,067

Good to see you're still working at it, dtesposito! Keep plugging away, and you'll make it by the end of the year! I have a lot of papers which add up quickly.

Hello Saffron! I finally finished the October minimalist challenge to get rid of paper, so I'm counting the total gone here--496 pieces! 496 papers from minimalist challenge 3 CD cases 4 greeting cards 20 newspaper articles 4 empty boxes 2 partially empty IV bags 2 books 16 food items 1 Christmas candle 1 catalog and 2 items that were very hard for me--one was a miniature calendar with a vintage drawing on it--the drawing was of a woman, and it reminded me of my mother. The other was an old-fashioned baby scale that I used to weigh my cats on. My sister found it for me in a resale shop about 25 years ago, and for some reason I've been really attached to that scale, even though I haven't used it for years. Total this time: 551 Grand total: 1,618 Diane

Hi, Diane dtesposito ! Great job on getting rid of the 496 items, even the ones that were difficult to part with. Do you remember how I agonized over getting rid of some of my DAuntie's papers and things in the past five years? The pain has worn off and now I just keep it in my memory. It will get better, esp. when you see more SPACE in your home to enjoy and live in!
