By the time the little one finally got to sleep it was midnight. I was so tired and went to bed. I figured you all wouldn't be too upset with me for not updating the declutter challenge last night and instead going to bed~ right?
For the ones that did the first challenge~ did you have fun?
I can't say it was fun for me but now that I look at the area I did, I'm glad I did it. It looks great.
The first room I wrote on my paper was the Living Room. The first area I wrote down was the table behind the couch. It seems to be a catch all for everything. DVD's, books, clothes, legos, whatever get thrown up there.
Here is a before picture:
It might not look like much- but there is stuff under all that stuff. I dove in and cleared it all out. I put things away that needed to be put away. I threw away anything that was broken or didn't know what it went to. There are also a few things that will be donated and a few things that will be taken to the next consignment sale in September.
Here is the after picture:

| Ahhhh- a nice clean table:) Much better. |
Here is our throw away, donate or sell pile:

| The little head in the upper right corner does not go |
Our get rid of, donate or sell pile consisted of 2 newspapers, various school papers, torn video game manual, 3 movies, a baby hat, a broken book, a pen top (not sure where the pen is), a Valentine's Day card, a torn Nerf dart, a broken laptop and a ferret tube. Wow- that is 14 things that are going out of this house- YEA!!!! Little Michael wanted to get in the picture- he was looking through the ferret tube. Rest assured he is not going with the rest of the pile:)
How did you do with your first challenge?
