    Put the Christmas tree and stuff away, but several ornaments and cloth gift bags went into the donation box.

    Got rid of all of last year's bills except December's.
    A plunger that I can't tell you how long we've had. Finally got a new one that is actually made for toilets. Other one was for sinks but used on toilets.
    Got rid of two of my son's windbreakers.

    Watched a decluttering video on YouTube and caught the bug so I did a quick sweep around the house.

    One sleeping bag
    Two cloth napkins
    One dish towel
    Two of my shirts
    Four of my husband's shirts

    One cat toy husband bought that the cats have zero interest in using. This one will be an Amazon return.

    Got a new phone and Otterbox case that came with an accessory so you can carry your phone on your belt. Will never use that so it's going.

    Mailed this week: books, puzzles, and family photos. The books are more store stock, yes, I'm still purging that, although almost done now... But the puzzles and family photos are new. I am determined not to hit my next birthday with boxes of misc. stuff here!

    Last month I reduced all the Christmas "stuff" to 1 one foot cube box. I sold some, donated some, and tossed some -- but I started with like 5 boxes of stuff?

    Welcome back, NewGig!

    There's a woman at the pottery studio who has a donation box for unloved pieces . Apparently she brings them to a charity thrift shop in NY. I don't know her, but she is my hero for giving us an outlet for mediocre pottery! We are trying to be more intentional about what we bring home in the first place. Do we want it? Do we think we can sell it? If no and no, into the box you go!
