There are still more things to go, but this is Day 30 and the conclusion of this month’s Minimalist Challenge Game. It was so much fun to use a game to help me let go of items I was having a hard…

I have a jewelry compartment organizer full of jewelry I don’t wear – well, not anymore. I went a bit of it a little while back, a bunch today, and more tomorrow. Why keep it when I am not wearing it and…

Day 28 rounded out the last day of organizing and sorting beads. I kept a few kinds but over 90% are donated. I have some pendants and jewelry to go through tomorrow. Items Pictured: packs of beads, bead toolbox + organizing containers, beading cords Status:…

Day 27 is a day for beads too. I didn’t want my numbers to be outrageous, so I decided to count each section of a different kind of bead as 1 item. More to go! Items Pictured: bead packs Status: Donated Today:…

Day 26 is all about beads. I decided to sort through my toolbox of beads and beading accessories since I am not going to do any of the beading projects I thought I would. These beads have been in the closet way too long…

Some projects were included today along with a bunch of things headed for the trash and recycling. Day 25 was very random in my findings. Items Pictured: Lightwedge, tools, office stuff, bulb, statue Items Not Pictured:fridge molding project complete, clean Lightwedge, fixed coral…

I finally made some decisions to let things go that have been sitting in a bin for months waiting for decisions. This is the month to make decisions and let things go, so it was their time. Items Pictured: games, drives, office stuff, containers,…

Donations are off to three places this time: women’s shelter, Goodwill, and Habitat for Humanity. It is great that I have lots of places to take things to so that I don’t overwhelm any one place. Also, I love that…

Most of these items came back with us from a family members house who tried to sell them for us. Some items we tried were successful while others were not. Off to donation they go! Those boots will bring in a pretty penny for…

Another big piece of furniture, Yipee! Plus, a bunch of small things and again more cardboard. Items Pictured: bag of bags, 9 cube white furniture, cardboard, Kwik-spin, basket, PChef catalogs, various small things, ink cartridge, bulb, scissors Status: Donated/Recycle/Trash Today: 21 Total:…

Day 20 consisted of an assortment of things from around the house, attic, and paper boxes. Items Pictured: bags, stamps, clothing, decor, maps, photo frame, cardboard Items Not Pictured: dry bag, media cabinet Status: Donated/Give/Recycle/Sell Today: 20 Total: 278 of 210…

I love when furniture goes away since it is frees up more space. More furniture coming soon. On day 19, I included some accessories that go with the future furniture donations like the fabric bins and basket. Items Pictured: Thirty-One and Pampered Chef bags,…

Lots of different things for day 18! Pretty straight forward stuff like bags and books, but the odd thing for day 18 is the big blue fabric thing. It is the padded seat of a foldable papasan chair. The plastic/metal frame broke, but…

I love IKEA but don’t live too close to one, so I tended to forget my bags quite often until I stashed a few in the trunk. For curiosity, I collected all of them and had way too many, so while I…

More cookbooks! This time the cookbooks are from my stash of free stuff for Pampered Chef shows/orders. I really didn’t need these since they are older plus, I did hold onto a few for future orders. Items Pictured: cookbooks Status: Donated…

Since I’ve moved to a more Paleo eating style after doing Whole30, I haven’t used most of these cookbooks. I used to look through them for meal ideas, but since these books focus on many of the things I don&…

I’m finding that it is a lot of fun to include projects I complete in this challenge. I didn’t have the interest in repairing the clothing until I wanted to include it in my numbers for day 14. Once the…

More kitchen stuff! Items Pictured: PChef items, ktichen stuff Status: Donated/Given/Sell Today: 13 Total: 144 of 91 #MinsGame…

As we simplify our eating patterns and what we eat, I am finding more kitchen things to go. I worked on decreasing a little bit of craft stuff on Day 11, so the containers that held those items found their way into Day 12&…

I cleaned out a bin in the garage and removed some items from my small box of PChef gift things which resulted in an almost sufficient amount to go. I added in a few more cardboard boxes and I had my necessary numbers. Still…

Books are one of the harder things to let go of when it comes to stuff. I started with a bookcase full of books plus a few boxes. Over a year ago, I reduced them by half and then about 6 months later, again…

I asked my husband to go through some of our business CDs and we cut them down to about half which is nice. I can’t remember the last time we listened to any of these. We also included a movie we’…

Day 8 was all about Pampered Chef. As a consultant, I have a lot of extra little things on hand for adding to someone’s order or giving out at a party. It kind of annoys me that I need to hold onto…
