I decluttered my shoes so much that I got rid of all dress shoes without keeping even one pair. And I have an event this weekend. Oops and ugh - I hate shopping for dress shoes. I just want that one magic comfy pair I can wear with everything! (I'm otherwise a Croc/Birk wearer most days.)Originally Posted by rosarugosa
I cut up some old cardboard boxes today and put them on the back porch for recycling. Also threw some plastic stuff in recycle bin.
Went through my bookcases and backed up a xerox box lid full to go to the thrift store. Have gotten into the habit of looking online first. If I can easily find the book on ebay or Amazon, I don't bother keeping it. Surprised at how many out-of-print books I have! Anyway, I need to work on the handbags soon. Over the years I've gotten that down to one smallish crate, but would like to thin it out some more. And all this talk of shoes... need to go through those too. Thanks for the motivation!

Okay so here is a funny recycled shoes thing. This summer I am working summer camp. We do a theme every week like water works or harry potter. One of the themes is project runway and for one of the projects they are cutting shoes in half and examining them. Okay I am not sure about the exact project all I know is we were supposed to bring in old shoes and they will be cut in half (no we are not letting the children do that part) and the half shoes will be used at camp.LIB: I think you earned the authority when you gave away the earrings
I've started culling shoes from the three cartons of shoes under my desk at work. I've brought so many pairs of shoes home, that DH asked if I was responsible for holding the shoes for all the women in my department! Many of these are going to the Salvation Army as well.
Zoe Girl: Surely that takes the prize for unique uses for old shoes!
didn't realize someone else had my name....
Took a few minutes this morning and gathered up shampoo and conditioner samples, small tubes of toothpaste and toothbrushes from the dentist and some mineral makeup I'll never use (never opened). Will take them to church Sunday and put them in the local shelter donation box.

Switching to more natural, basic products, so I bagged up some unused, stockpiled skin care products. They're going to be dropped off at the SA shelter on my way home.
I'm more excited about the boys being out of school than they are.......first summer project purging of their rooms and a deep cleaning starts on Monday the 21st! Woo Hoo!
