Throw Out 100 "Things" Challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a new year and time to start the things I've been wanting to do for a very long time!  First up is a Throw Out 100 "Things" Challenge.  This is where I am going to Donate, Pass On, Recycle or TOSS OUT!  I've always known to have 3-4 boxes or bags and label them - Donate - Recycle - Garbage, I'm adding an extra one for Pass On.  I may find something that someone else could use and will "pass it on".

I am a "hoarder".  I hate to throw anything away that I might "need or use" some day.  This is a new year and I am not going to be that person any more! Yea, right!  So, today starts the "new" me!  I have new toys (Silhouette Cameo) I want to play with and I need space in my craft room.  So, the purging begins!

  1. Box of craft books.  I'm counting this as one item.  I'm going to combine like items together...I'll get rid of more!  DONATE
  2. Backpack from Skechers - must have gotten with a pair of shoes?  DONATE
  3. Small plastic photo album.  Not sure why I even bought it!  DONATE
  4. Christmas ornaments - been in my closet for 4 years...not sure why.  DONATE
  5. Old eyeglasses - DONATE to the Lions Club
  6. Candles - DONATE
  7. CD's - Software, etc. - TOSS
  8. Weight Watchers binder from 1994!  Really? - TOSS
  9. Shopping Bags - TOSS
  10. Land Line Phone - who uses these anymore? - DONATE
  11. Frames - DONATE
That's a good start.  One box and two shopping bags going to the Outreach Center.  One bag of trash.  Didn't get as much done today as I wanted, but maybe I will get back to it later on tonight.

My desk and sewing area are still a mess...but I'll tackle that later.

I challenge all of you to Throw Out 100 "things" in your home.  Leave comments below!  Good Luck!
