In an effort to reduce the clutter in my bedroom and life prior to moving out, I am pledging to throw out 50 things. I’ll blog about it in stages as I go along and find things that I really don’t need anymore. And if I can find a better home for the items, I will donate them (i.e. old clothes, books, toys, magazines, etc.).
I’m sure that everyone can glance around whatever room they’re in, and see a few things that they don’t need/want anymore. Half-finished crafts, seven different types of wood glue, those chipped plates you’re saving “just in case”. So, if anyone would like to join in with me, please sign the Mister Linky!
ETA: Forgot to specify a “deadline”. Let do January 1st, 2009 — aim to start the new year with a little less clutter! And remember, if you can donate your items, please do! Your unused items may be someone else’s treasure/pleasure!
ETA2: Have a button!! (please remember to save to your own server)
[Challenge inspired by the title of Gail Blanke's book: Throw Out 50 Things... however, I have not yet read it, so I don't want to claim it is like the book... just that I was inspired by it.]

Ok, I’ll play! And I started today, I threw out my poor little rubber ducky. I’ve had him for years & years sitting in my shower… it was just time to retire him. :)
How long do we get to do this evil deed?
Getting rid of clutter is a struggle for me because I have a hard time letting go of stuff. I suppose I can start by throwing out a bunch of 7″ singles (remember those?), it’s not like I am going to play them anytime soon since I no longer have a record player.
I think I put the wrong link, but I’m in!
I should have joined this about a month ago! We just cleaned out our attic room. Try 50 X 3. lol
I’m in. I think I could part with 50 things from every room in my house with ease… (but no, that’s not a goal!)
I’m in! I have boxes of stuff cluttering up my desk area – it’s so bad that I can’t even sit at my desk anymore to do things.
I am so in! I can’t even want to be in my home office anymore! What a great idea!
Fabulous idea! I’m always telling myself and my husband that we need to get rid of some (or a lot) of our stuff, but we never seem to get around to it. Maybe having others doing it too will help motivate me.
I’m SOOOO in!!!
I assume this is through Jan. 1 and I only have to get rid of 50 things? I think I can handle that.
I found you through Serena and her lovely site. What a great idea! I’m not so much for throwing things away, but I will donate 50 things that are lying uselessly around the house before January 1st.
This will serve as a reminder to me to buy only what I need. Plus, I can start the New Year off right- with a clean home. :D
I am in. Mayhaps this will be the push I need to get into those boxes labeled the Virginia Collection that haven’t been opened in 7 years and have been moved 9 times… Oi Vey…
