I can’t believe I’m already at 49 items. Actually, it wasn’t so hard to get to.

And don’t think that I’m going to stop when I get to fifty, because I’m still going strong.

Items 1 - 7.
Items 8 - 13.
Items 14 - 22.

Items 23 - 35.
Items 36 - 39.

How high do you think I can go? How high can YOU go?

***This post has been shared with Works for me Wednesday. I enjoy decluttering as much as more than the average person, but documenting it makes it even more fun!

Way to go! I posted about decluttering also. I got rid of 50 books today. (I have a book problem like some women have a shoe problem) It feels so wonderful to free our space of stuff!

It’s amazing the junk we accumulate isn’t it?

I was pretty smug thinking I’d done a good job of de-cluttering, but you inspired me to go further. There’s no end of this stuff I’m finding. Recent projects I’ve completed: de-cluttered a lot of stuff from the kitchen, including never-before-used utensils, unneeded cutlery, unused bowls and plates etc etc etc Also gave an old vinyl collection to the charity shop (nothing worth selling I checked first), and yet more DVDs. There’s still more to declutter in the garage, but nothing major.

Well done, you are nearly at the magic 50! Does your house count as one item, you are getting rid of that? ;)

I actually saw this book on the shelf at Barnes & Nobles yesterday and thought of you. Gasp ~ don’t get rid of the serving platters ;) LOL

I was thinking - I wonder if anyone you know who gave you the gifts saw their gifts on there. I think it would be pretty funny :D
