Some of the days, I decided to skip as I don't have an issue in those areas. Other days I skipped because I didn't have the time to really put forward the effort needed in that area. Don't worry though, even on those days I straightened up the areas. Here is a recap of how I have done in the past week:
Day 5: Books and Magazines
I listed a ton of adult books on facebook selling wall and I have already sold several. (Those not sold by the end of the month will be donated to Goodwill) I took a huge bag of books to school for a donation to the after school care program I work at. Our shelves look so much better!
Day 6: DVDs and Video Games-- I had Dear Hubby go through the dvds and video games. He came up with a lot to get rid of. I listed over 20 on facebook selling wall and have sold several. Those not sold by the end of the month will be donated to Goodwill.
Day 7: Toys-- This is an ongoing project that I tackled when I did the living room. I also recently have done the boys' room, but still need to do Rebecca's room.
Day 8: Junk Drawer
Day 9: Dining Area
Day 10: Kitchen Counters
Day 11: Kitchen Cupboards-- This space is already organized as I have a very limited number of cabinets in my kitchen and thus can't breed clutter in them.
Day 12: Pantry-- This was done when I organized the entry way as it is part of my entry way.
So there you have it...Days 5-12 DONE! I haven't been able to keep up with daily blogging with life going on, but I have been keeping up with the challenge for the most part. Now just to finish the month strong!
Looks awesome!! Will have to check out that challenge for some guidance! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla! The challenge gives some great guidance...the problem I am having is I have been extremely busy the last couple of days so have been unable to complete some of the challenges, but I may just extend it to November...
DeleteNice job!! Books are always the hardest for me to get rid off :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lena! Books are hard for me too, but I have to think when they are just sitting there collecting dust then there is an issue. Also I have been frequenting my local library so I don't have to have the books collecting dust at my house :) I did keep all the ones by my favorite author (Nicholas Sparks) and lots of the classic books that I know my kids will read one day...
DeleteYou are so much like me it is scary. I love the book shelves they look like mine. So does your kitchen. I really need to do this.
ReplyDeleteI will take that as a compliment :) I am finding it really wasn't hard, but did take some time.
