Buying items ahead of time for gifts and then forgetting I have them can be a problem. Today I put 3 photo frames I had bought ahead for a gift of pictures for my husband probably 6 years ago. They were just collecting dust in a remote place. They are in the Goodwill bin because if and when I need frames someday for grandchildren photos, I'll get new ones.
Well, I'm back now, I think things are settling down. Today I put a set of curlers, and 3 pairs of shoes in the give-away box. I also threw away 5 pairs of shoes! Hurray! :) I have been keeping track of all the items that I have given away and/or thrown away since we started this. As of today it is 108 items. This does not include all the items that I have put in their proper place as I decluttered each day. This has been the best thing I've tried so far to help me with my organizational skills (or rather - lack thereof). I am looking forward to continuing this adventure!
ReplyDeleteWow! 108! That is terrific! Keep up the good work! Maybe I better go down into the basement right now and get busy going through another tub! Sounds like a good activity for a snowy day!
