This year I’m taking another 365 challenge and by the end of the year, hopefully I’ll be shed of 365 (or more) items that are just cluttering my life. Since I’m 5 days behind, I’m claiming these 3 piles and 3 days worth. The object of the challenge is to be overwhelmed in the process by only getting rid of at least 1 item a day. These items were all stacked together in my dish cabinet and I have NEVER used most of them, which is why I’ve been hanging on! And some of them are gifts that I have just NEVER used! Forgive me, if you recognize them! Contact me if you would like them back.....BEFORE someone else claims them or they go to Goodwill where my clutter could be someone else’s!

Wow! Great challenge – I think I'll follow you on this one. Thanks for the inspiration. I like the "fresh start" text in your layout, fits perfectly with the theme ;o)

What a great idea and page to go with it. I started this in the fall, only not one day at a time. I sorted all my Christmas Decorations and donated to our local Head Start. They had a day early in December for the families to come in and choose decorations for them. They had lots of wonderful donations from people and businesses to bring cheer.

this is a wonderful challenge - we could all be done with more clutter if we took it one at a time and not a room full at once - very inspiring page - thanks for sharing vicky

I still need the actually list my big goals - Declutter is one.
That is actually a great idea of something that you can do to get rid of some of the clutter in your life. Thanks for sharing your idea and showing what you are getting rid of.

Great idea to. Love the emphasis on a little a day since I usually get overwhelmed. I do love that snowman plate, someone who loves it will find a treasure later. Good luck with your clearing out the clutter and thank you for sharing the journey with us.
