Here is my list so far. I’ve just done a superficial sweep, and when I took a box to Goodwill I might have bought a few things while I was there… :-) Actually I found two Rubbermaid containers in perfect condition for only $4 each, so I am using them as my “to sell” and “to donate” boxes. It’s been really nice to have a place to put the stuff!

One thing I tackled last week was the dresser in the guest room where I keep all my art and craft supplies. After taking a walk down memory lane with a few of the items, I decided to narrow down my hobbies. Right now I’ll just focus on scrapbooking and sewing, and I tried to limit (or get rid of entirely) my supplies for the other hobbies. I have a bunch of stuff from all my art classes in college that I’m going to find a new home for. I also pulled out all my kid-related items and put them in the den – like crayons, markers, acrylic paints, etc. It’s doubtful I’ll ever paint again but it might be a fun project for the (far) future with our kids. Getting rid of that stuff really freed up space in the dresser – I now have a whole empty drawer!

Note: I have various reasons for getting rid of these things. Some are broken/damaged and being thrown away, some are duplicates of things I already have, some are things I never use anymore. And sadly, some have been peed on by cats and are impossible to wash so they are being thrown away. So please don’t read into any of the items on the list. :-)
