This morning I went through my jewelry box and picked out 13 items I never wear anymore and put them in a baggy to take to Goodwill.
75 down, 1,939 to go.

Cleaning out the cupboards. I found some things that are old, some that are almost at their dates, and some that must have sneaked past me last time I did this. If we have more than we can use before they expire, those are headed to the foodbank. Expired food that is suitable will become 'nutraloaf' for the birds and critters (with all this ice instead of the usual snow I bet its harder for them to forage). So far I have corn muffin mix and dehydrated refried beans to turn into some sort of seed and raisin cake. I'm tossing a bunch of old stuff. I gave a bunch of stuff to MIL and SDF last week I forgot to put in. I'm keeping tally, will report when I'm finished.

Papergrace! You donated the silver baby album! I know that was hard especially since we tempted you in chat to repurpose it. You are clipping right alone there. You might be able to do this 14 times. Kudos to everyone, even me. I have pneumonia and not doing much is the responsible thing to do, for the time being. I'm pleased with every little thing.
Adding on:
3 large white trash bags black bag started but not counting yet 6 donations gifted immersion blender to sil
22 + 10 = 32 1982 to go

I got rid of one bowl of extra sauce packets (soy sauce, hot mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc.) from take out food that no one ever uses. Don't need the clutter.
2005 to go!

Gave 50 things to Goodwill last week and gave 50 more today. So that's 268 donated items so far.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site just now and decided to register right away. I'm battling a clutter problem for years now, I guess my mom and brothers are clutterers and I'm like them too:-) but I'm aware of the problem and they are in denial so there lies my big problem.
Anyway I'm starting with myself at least, and will clean my bedroom. . 2014 things, that`s a lot ! Today I put away only 2 , a pen holder and ink cartridge. Leaves me with 2012. Will try to make a tracker too.
