Decluttered a little

I feel so good tonight having made a bit of progress today.  While working or just going about my business over the last few days, I've been creating a small list of things that I know I don't need and should get rid of one way or another.

The list was put together on one sheet of paper and when I was home today, I attacked it plus some!  In total, I was able to pack a paper bag, and two tub things with dots which are actually in this picture here that I had over a year ago!  I'm debating on whether or not I should keep the tubs until I'm done decluttering, because they make great totes.  I took a picture of what I was donating, but the list of items is as follows:

Repurposed:

  • Extending shelf tray (gave to mom for use in kitchen)
To be donated:
  • Battle of the Sexes board game (played once - not a fun game)
  • Two hand towels in good condition
  • Webcam - does anyone use these anymore?
  • Mustard yellow hand-me-down sweater (that I never should have accepted!)
  • Down pillow (I had 2 brand new ones, gave my mom one in exchange for one of hers that she didn't like, with the condition that I could donate the one she was giving up.)  The other pillow will go to my guy.  He likes these pillows which didn't work out for me.  This decision was tough, I wanted both of them to get the pillows.
  • Handmade bracelets and necklace.
  • 3 pairs of Cole Haan shoes, 2 prs Merrell shoes and 1 pr Teva sandals.
Giving away one of my nice leather checkbook covers to someone I know desperately needs one.

Here is the picture of most of what is off to be donated The middle one is full of shoes!:


I'll also try listing some items on eBay and taking a few to a consignment shop.

Pretty good if you ask me!
