I've been trying to throw out 50 things (or recycle them) and it has been hard work to find stuff to get rid of!
Here's where I am now:
11. Clothes - to goodwill (from me and Snuffy)
12. Old towels - gosh, how long can you use a towel for? Some of these had to go
13. Toys - ok, this was the whopper! we have soooo many toys so i decided to be ruthless and give lots of them away. See:
14. Broken broom - Serenity broke it while trying to help me clean LOL!
15. Old CD's - scratched and just sitting around taking up space!
16. Magnets and fridge junk - so tired of my fridge being covered in useless junk!
17-50. ONE OLD VAN! - ok, so i couldn't find 50 things to throw out (which means i'm doing good at the purging thing) but i think Snuffy caught the bug because he finally decided to finish stripping the old van of parts and he's going to have it towed away for scrap! Wooo Hoooo!

Well, YEA a Van is definitely good for like 30 spots for sure!
Hope u get rid of the virus sooN!
yikes! sorry about the virus! I think the van should definitely count for more than 1. LOL! I would love to get rid of our magnet "collection" but the hubby would kill me. Maybe I should move them out to the garage. lol. Keep up the purging you are doing an excellent job!
Yuck I hope you get that virus taken care of! Go you on getting rid of things. I love purging it mkaes me feel so good. We do it a lot here and I don't know how we always come up with something to get rid of!
Decluttering and reorganizing is really therapeutic. I think scrapbooking is great at helping. I take a photo of the object, scrap about it and then upcycle it...I only keep things that are functional or aesthetically appealing these days...:)
You've got a great jump start on Spring cleaning! Way to go, very inspiring!
{Hope the computer is feeling better soon!}
Wow, you are doing great! Way to clean out!
Hi Carrie,
Darryl said that you should count every part taken from the Van towards your 50! Your blog is a great incentive to me + I get to ponder the questions you ask & learn about you too!
Love, Mum
Carrie,
I'm so glad you got the burlap. I never heard from you so I got a little worried. Can't wait to see what you make with it!!
take care,
Linda
PS way to go on the recycling!!
Looks like you still made great progress! And really if you count each one of those toys as an item I am sure you are way up beyond 50! LOL!!!
50 things? Yikes!!! I would have a hard time. But I should get rid of about 500 things. I should give it a try.
I hope your computer gets better. I'm lucky, I have a computer geek for a son.
And thanks for leaving me a comment today. I always enjoy your comments.

Clutter is my nemesis! So if you can't find 50 things come on over to my house and I'll give you 1000.
Best wishes on eliminating the Virus. I loathe sick computers. Mine is still wheezing and I'm afraid it's going to kill over anyday now.
Tootles,

Oh bad luck with the virus!
Good job on the clean up, wow!
