Purging has been so freeing. I love getting rid of stuff I no longer need or use. It frees up so much space and I’m able to better organize what I do need and use.
I mainly purged out of my hutch but I was also able to FINALLY part with some of my Christmas mugs. *GASP* I’ve been collecting Christmas mugs for a very long time and my original intent was to use them at our Christmas parties, which I did, twice, out of almost 17 years of Christmas parties. *sigh* I did keep a few to hang on my cup holder at Christmas time, because you still have to have pretty mugs to have your coffee in.
Here’s a few of pictures of my purge.
The infamous Christmas mugs. Goodbye old friends. *sniff* Just kidding, I’ll be fine in a year or two.
All of this came out of my hutch. I had WAY to many candles that I haven’t burned for one reason or another and a sign that no longer matches my decor, a hugs vase that only looks good when when it’s got a couple of dozen roses in it (which it hasn’t had in many a moons) and then just some random tea light holders. Now I have lots more room in my hutch to spread out the stuff I do use. Yay, me!
I love aprons but I never use these because one is WAY to hot and the other I made WAY to big. The rest is just stuff that was shoved in the back of a cupboard.
As you can see, I definitely purged more than 5 items. I knew I would but I didn’t want to put that kind of pressure on myself, cause I’d cave and not do anything, because I’m good like that.
So I know a few of you wanted to join in so I thought it would be easy for you just to leave your link in a comment. I’ll be sure to check out your progress as well.

Don't you just hate parting with all of those Christmas mugs. I have a few in my cupboard that could go too! Good job today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reminder to purge, it is so liberating. I am going to find a few things to put in a bag for UCP (United Cerebral Palsy), they send a truck to my house and neighborhood and the next one will be June 21. I will do that right now.
ReplyDeleteSigh, yes I need to purge but don't have the time now... no, really I don't, I shouldn't even be here responding to this blog post cuz' I've got slide shows to finish before Wednesday morning and time is ticking by... tick,. tick, tick....
ReplyDeleteGOOD JOB!!!!
ReplyDeleteBig I'm-totally-in-shock-that-you-are-getting-rid-of-Christmas-mugs size hugs to you!! A-MAZ-ING! LOL! Love you friend! I'm proud of your purging! :)
So great that you are doing this, Kim. I've been purging stuff all summer & it feels just as good to declutter as it does to detoxify. Actually better. ;) Thanks for the inspiration to keep going!
ReplyDeleteYou're making some great progress!
