10 Things Challenge Week 4

I am a little late this week in posting this but here are my 10 things I am donating! I think all the stuff this week is going to be donated to friends so they are for sure going to get good use out of them.

1. Georgia Rule- A movie I have watched once and its was a good one timer but not worth keeping on my shelves
2. Rumor Has It- I love Jennifer Aniston but this is not the best movie on the planet
3. The Terminal- I cannot even figure out where I got this movie from
4. John Tucker Must Die-Super cute movie but I am not a teenager anymore... Time to move on
5. She's The Man- Once again cute movie but a little to young for my taste now
6. Tristan and Isolde- Was a good movie but not one I reach for when I want to watch something
7. Startsky and Hutch- I think I have worn out this movie enough to say I can donate it without feeling bad
8. Red Glitter-I had two things of red glitter that I will never get all the way through using so one of them is out
9. Blue Glitter- Same story
10. Green Glitter- Once again same story

So there you have it my ten things. This is getting much tougher now. I haven't even decided on the theme to look for things to donate on next week.

10 Things Challenge Week 3

Happy Monday!! I am already onto week three of my challenge. This week is a jumble of things so lets dig in. I decided it was just easier to donate everything to the salvation army. I know I could go and make money off of some of these things. To me however that's not the point of why I am doing it so I am choosing not to do it that way.

1. Quilt Set- I have owned this since I was living in my getto apartment in Bellingham and have decided that in reality the purple is not the right color for me so out it goes with its sheets and all!
2. Towel- I can't figure out where I even got it from but its not soft and I enjoy the extra big towels.
3. Clothes- I cleaned out my closet yesterday and came through some of these clothes that I wont ever wear again
4. Mariners Stuff- I use to be a huge Mariners fan when I was young but I do not think I have watched baseball since I was in High School and I know someone is gonna come along and get excited about seeing it.
5. Winter Wear- There is a scarf from the 2010 Winter Olympics that I have never worn and I am not a red color person and a pair of gloves that I like but once again don't think I have ever worn
6. Books- Came across about four books that just don't look like they are worth reading with all the other things I want to read.
7. Photo Albums- I found two photo albums that were brand new but they are not my style
8. Scrapbooking Albums- Once again they were brand new but just not my style anymore. I must have bought them back in high school
9. Senior Fun Album- I bought it when I graduated high school but never put anything in it. Its a classic black and the year isn't on it so it will work great for anyone that finds it and that makes me happy
10. Tinkerbell Journal- I bought it when I went to Disneyland and I do think its cute but I don't need another journal.

So that't it for this week. I am learning a few things about myself as I am going through this process. The first is that I don't really need to buy journals anymore. I hardly use them and I am becoming so inclined to write on my blog then on paper that I think its going to be a new rule. The second is that I find it easier to get rid of things when I think of how happy it will make someone else when they find it.

10 Things Challenge Week 2

Shoes Shoes Shoes! That was my main focus this week when I picked my 10 things to donate. Everything is going to the salvation army this week so I wont add that more then right here... The saddest part of all is that picking these ten pairs to get rid of wasn't even hard... LOL!

1. Green Old Navy Sandals- They cause blisters and I have a navy pair that I wear way more then these ones.
2. Champion Running Shoes- I wore them when I worked at the job I had before my current one and they are just not comfy anymore to me because of the bad memories that are attached to them.
3. Purple Flats- They are super cute and I do love them but I never wear them and they are not worn in enough to be comfy
4. White Crocks- I love the idea of owning crocks but I just never wear them
5. White Flats- They give me blisters and I never wear them
6. Black Flats- Too small for me
7. Blue Flats- Once again super cute but I never wear them and once again they give me blisters
8. Grey Flats- I like these shoes except they are clicky when you walk and I don't actually like flats that have a slight heel to them.
9. Roxy Brown Boots- They are cute but pointless for me to own with all the other boots I own and love to wear
10. Brow Slippers-Once again super cute and I have had them for a couple years but I don't hardly ever wear slippers and when I do I use my other grey flat slippers

So out with the old and absolutely NO in with the new... I do not think that I will be needing to buy a new pair of shoes for a long while because I still own plenty... I have learned from doing this though that I tend to be way more of a boot girl then a flat girl. So we will see if this changes as summer comes closer but if not I will know not to buy any more flats for myself!

So that's it! My first week was easy to find things and I am planning next week to go through my shoes! I officially have ten less things of unwanted/unused items out of my home!

10 Things Challenge

So inspired by the first website I visited last night, Simple.Organized.Life, I have decided to do my own 10 Things Challenge. The goal is to get rid of 10 things every week for 10 weeks. I personally chose 10 weeks but you could do as many weeks as you wanted. I already have chosen my 10 things for this week because when I came across the idea I got inspired to start right away. Each week I will do a post which will include

• A picture of all the things I chose for that week
• Complete list of what the 10 things are and where they will be going
• Paragraph or two about what made me hold onto these things in the first place and what I feel about letting them go!

Chances are I will do this post on Thursday because its my day off and tomorrow is a 12 hr day at work. I just don't see myself having the energy to do it at anytime tomorrow.
