Today we added another tea chest sized box to the donations, hopefully it will go there soon. I hope to add another to it, but we will see how we go. It was curtains mostly.

I just got back from meeting a lady and giving her a Little Tikes dollhouse the girls don't use anymore. I have given away this, a nursery lamp, and a potty chair on Freecycle so far this month. I have 3 bags of clothes for when the AmVets come around again. I'll have more before the month is out.

Good for you Cheryl. Nice that you give it away or free cycle. I think we are way too much of a disposable society, but I have to tell you..even thinking that I am NOT going to wash out plastic bags..ROFLOL

When we are finished with our de clutter, I will have tons of stuff to be carried off to the Faith Home outreach program and to a womens shelter. this includes a few pieces of furniture, clothing for boys, women and men, some exercise equipment and pots & Pans and some dishes as well. I will then make a donation to the local food bank to get rid of some of the canned foods we aren't going to eat (bought and we didn't like them  ). |

But, I did find some really cute plastic bowls with animal lids at Walmart that I use to pack the girls lunches so I don't use so many zippies!  |

Added another bag of clothes & a box of to the AmVets stuff which they took on Thursday. Got rid of 14 old Aleene's Creative Living mags on Freecycle and someone is coming for the high chair and the diaper genie Monday. I posted some books on Frugalreader.com and have requests for 4 of them.

As well as anything I may have posted about on Cara's bag challenge, today I sorted through old videos, I have wanted to do this for awhile. We got one box to get rid of, pity the bin is full. That made room to unpack another box, great!!

Lots of files got shredded here yesterday, and I made all new files and a new filing system. I really am liking the new system. I use hanging files ...instead of the manilla folders. Each thing gets it's own hanging folder. The drawers are less full. Dh took out a huge kitchen size bag full of junk and also emptied the shredder three times. Woo hoo.
Keep tossing and giving girls...

Gave 2 jackets to Lydia's Loft at our church yesterday. Lydia's is a clothing closet our church runs. Katie's SS teachers asked the kids to bring something to donate.
