Toss Ten Tuesday!

Today is the first day to toss your ten items. No one can be more excited than me, but I think some of y'all have really embraced the idea. I have heard reports of whole closets and pantries being cleaned out! In the process of finding ten items much more is being found to say "good bye" to. Very great news! I know it feels good. Keep it up y'all!

For me I had a few items that I knew were going today and a few I had to hunt for. With the in-laws leaving today and having to do a good "after company" clean, I didn't have the will to empty out any closets! But that's cool for me since I moved in a few months ago and my closets have not had a chance to get out of control.

What did I find to say good bye to....?


GOOD BYE TO A STACK OF MAGAZINES, I LOVE YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEW AND SHINY BUT YOU ARE MY BIGGEST ENEMY! (Notice that the one on top is about organization?)

GOOD BYE LEARN-TO-PAINT BOOK THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU CAME FROM!

GOOD BYE BAG OF COOL-LOOKING PASTA WITH BUGS ON THE BOTTOM!

GOOD BYE HANDMADE PAPER MACHE REINDEER WHO HAVE SAT IN THE CHRISTMAS TUB FOR THE LAST 4 CHRISTMAS BECAUSE 5 CHRISTMASES AGO THE CATS CHEWED OFF YOUR ANTLERS!

GOOD BYE TELEPHONE BOOKS FROM 2008 AND 2009, THE NEW ONE CAME AND FOR SOME REASON Y'ALL WANTED TO STAY!

GOOD BYE BAGGIE FULL OF TAGS MADE OF FUN FOAM. I PLANNED ON USING YOU TO HELP LABEL THE TUBS IN THE CLOSET, BUT YOU DECIDED NOT TO BE FOUND WHEN I NEEDED YOU SO YOU WERE REPLACED AND I DO NOT NEED YOU ANYMORE!

GOOD BYE CHEAP LIP PENCIL THAT NEVER WORKED!

GOOD BYE PLASTIC LEGS TO A SHELF THAT HAS LONG SINCE LEFT US!

GOOD BYE THREE STRANDS OF PUFFY HEART CHRISTMAS GARLAND. I USED YOU ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE WHEN I WAS MRS. SOMEBODY-ELSE AND YOU DO NOT MATCH MY CURRENT DECORATIONS. I'M SAD TO SAY YOU JUST CANNOT HANG AROUND IN THE HOPES I MIGHT LIKE YOU AGAIN!

  3. This is so much fun - thanks for the inspiration Jen - I said "goodbye" to a note pad I'll never use, old purses, pants that don't fit the hubby, crosstitch patterns that won't ever be used now that I'm a scrapbooker, and other misc household stuff. It felt so good to drop the bag off at the goodwill truck :-) -Denise M.
