Default DAY 12: Anyone making any headway???
Old 01-13-2007, 03:30 AM   #1 (permalink)

This past week has been pretty hectic around my abode~however this weekend I am planning on finishing up some of the projects from last weekend!

(We are expected to have some nasty weather (rain, snow, sleet) so needless to say what else is there to do???))



I will have some yummy candles burning! I love the smell of a yummy candle!!



My 3 boxes will be getting full~I hope the Give Away box gets full! Then I will be posting on Free cycle!



Still have some items to post on free cycle from last weekend~someone is going to get some nice goodies from me~


My DH couldn't believe I got rid of some of my stash!

Will also be looking for my birth certificate too~Dh was looking for his and found it~Now I want to locate mine. Then to the lock box for sure!



How are you doing on your cleaning & decluttering!

mgf~

I have been decluttering all year. I have donated many bags, boxes etc. of clothes, crafts, furniture, nic nacs, decorations and a lot of other things.



I need to get back down the basement and clean up so I can paint the walls. It is too dark down there.



I washed a few walls before Thanksgiving so all I need is a general cleaning. I haven't been able to do too much as I have an infected tooth and need 2 root canals.



Tomorrow I plan on getting a few things done.



Thank you for taking the time to give us such good information and so much encouragement.

Tomorrow, barring any emergencies...I am starting on that junk room that's suppose to be my craft room!
I am sticking to my guns over this one. I'm getting more stock for my e-bay store and I need to get it organized so I know what I've got! I'm going to take a before picture so you all can see, and acutally I've taken before pics that were worse than it is now. But it's still bad!

I'm hoping by Wednesday I've got it cleaned out enough that I can get a shelving unit to put in there to store my stock!



Watch out for my e-bay cause there maybe some craft supplies going up in there as I'm clearing out!

Well I didn't get a before pic of the room....had to re-charge the batteries, but I did get a pic of everything loaded in my living room!

We've got one of those big roll trash cans the trash companies give you, well it's almost filled - I told Kelly to leave room for everyday trash - and I've got about 3 more boxes in the craft room waiting to be put out on Thursday next to the can when they come!

Some of you know there's a hospital bed in there, that's a pain to move, so what I did was, took the wood that Al cut to make me a sewingtable and laid them ontop of the bed, then I've stacked, neatly, stuff ontop of it! It gives the bed a little more stability, but gets that wood outta the way! It holds his old electronic equipment and my tubes and sewing and embordery machines nicely!

Today I'll be getting the shelving unit I need to stack my e-bay store stock!

I have a wash stand that I need to clean out, but that won't take long, and I'll probably do that tomorrow!

Ugghhh....my cleaning and de-cluttering isn't going too well. The batheroom is de-cluttered, but it is in need of another cleaning! Don't you just love little boys?



I really want to start my MAJOR de-cluttering in the boy's room! They have sooo many toys! I've tried to keep it to one box full but it is over flowing so it needs to be sorted out.

I actually have something to report on this subject.



I went around and gathered all papers laying around here and there and put them all in a plastic tub. NOw I've been going through them and making files and filing them and throwing out stuff I don't need. I got most of the papers all filed and I just keep filing up my tub whenever I find more.



So far, it's working.
