Declutter challenge 2025

 I've decided to join in with Joy for the 100 Day Declutter Challenge again this year.  I did really well with the challenge in 2024.  I set up a spreadsheet, and by the end of the year I had over 400 individual items on that spreadsheet that were either donated, given away, put onto a rummage sale, or just trashed.  I'm getting a late start for 2025 but am confident I can make a significant dent in the "stuff" around here. 

Joy and I can help keep the other accountable for this challenge.  So, I have a rummage sale box started next to the door in my sewing room.  There are only a few items in it so far, but there is room for plenty more.  There is a large box in my office with donation items - again with plenty of room for more.  And there is a big shopping bag in my closet with a good start on donation clothing items.  Of course I have my spreadsheet going again too because I'm that kind of nerd.  LOL  Besides, it is so satisfying to see the list of things that I've gotten rid of grow and grow. 

I began the clothing sort this week with my lingerie drawer, and threw away several questionable undergarment items.  TMI - right?  I also cleaned out and organized one drawer in my sewing room.  It's a tiny but good beginning!! 

I'll try to post an update near the end of each month.  You can check out Joy's blog for her decluttering start.
