Assuming you read my blog, you know that I have purged my entire house of everything we don't use & won't use (which is 1/2 of everything we owned).<BR/><BR/>It is very freeing & weight-lifting.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540651980546776612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-83197688283241642312008-12-23T22:21:00.000-06:002008-12-23T22:21:00.000-06:00I love Freecycle...I've used it many times to try ...I love Freecycle...I've used it many times to try to declutter as well!

And very well!<BR/><BR/>Anna--Hope you like Freecycle as much as I have!<BR/><BR/>Isdihara--Wish I could have passed along some cookbooks to you!<BR/><BR/>Janice--I hope that's the case--that we enjoy what we have more since there's less clutter!<BR/><BR/>Hillary--Swapping stuff would be great! We need to just start a new "Blogville" city where we can all move and be real-life friends. :)<BR/><BR/>Becky--Yeah, how do we end up at this point, with STUFF everywhere?!<BR/><BR/>Sasha--Merry Christmas to you too!<BR/><BR/>Janell--Good for you! Glad you were able to help an individual and charities.<BR/><BR/>Scriptor--I didn't know Freecycle was in the UK too! That's great!<BR/><BR/>Sandra--Oh, files...I definitely need to get to those. :)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous--Freecycle is wonderful!C.

It's amazing that we all use to have community and family to give\pass along things to, and since most of us don't anymore FreeCycle gives us a chance. Plus it keeps stuff out of the landfills and helps others out too. Enjoy your decluttering and happy holidays to you and yours :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-19817211496794784392008-12-23T17:52:00.000-06:002008-12-23T17:52:00.000-06:00Beth -- What do they say -- Great minds work alike...Beth -- What do they say -- Great minds work alike? I am in the process of decluttering right now too -- I'm specifically getting rid of old files. One ambitious day this week I filled the shredder three times (and it's a big shredder)! Good luck with your de-cluttering too. It is so liberating, isn't it?Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860698763754512257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-79935124159014640842008-12-23T14:24:00.000-06:002008-12-23T14:24:00.000-06:00Beat you to it!

To see the pleasure on the faces of folk who picked up our 'junk' made it doubly worthwhile. I'm only up to nine items and I doubt I'll reach anyhting like your target but it's sure been satisfying.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-4541114095075881772008-12-23T12:54:00.000-06:002008-12-23T12:54:00.000-06:00Last week the we picked out quite a few toys to ge...Last week the we picked out quite a few toys to get rid of (the messy room was getting out of hand). The girls were actually fine about it, so I was relieved. I posted them for free on craiglist, and they were gone within an hour. Posting them also put me in touch with several people collecting toys for charity, and it motivated me to spend the next day collecting more toys and old clothes to give to them. It felt GREAT! Love your resolution, I should do that too.Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673883808842901302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-63303692965948376852008-12-23T11:17:00.000-06:002008-12-23T11:17:00.000-06:00What a great idea!Merry Christmas!What a great idea!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209668208226269653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-61564885685882916722008-12-23T10:53:00.000-06:002008-12-23T10:53:00.000-06:00I need to do the same thing!

I did buy a new cookbook, though, too.

It's nice how freeing it is to be rid of it, how you can better honor and enjoy what you choose to keep, and how you have space now for new things that better suit your needs.

Our biggest problem is that I'm paranoid about people coming to our house when my husband isn't around and his work schedule is the pits. As in, there is no schedule. Still, it's worthwhile.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.com
