Project Cleanup! Week 1

I have kept my word and have just gotten through week 1 of Project Cleanup. For anyone who didn't know about this project, I will give you a quick summary. My house is clean, but in my opinion, is too cluttered. Most would say my house is not even close to cluttered, but for my taste, I think it is. So, I have decided to go through rooms and get rid of items that will either be boxed up to sell in a yard sale this summer, donated to the mission, or tossed. I am very determined on this project, so there will be quite a bit gone through and recorded just for my peace of mind.

This week, I took down my Halloween/Fall decorations so I thought I would start there. After going through 3 bins, here is what I cleaned out.





1. Fall Harvest Primitive Wreath
2. Happy Fall Y'all 2 Piece Scarecrow Pumpkin Insert
3. Brand New Avon 6 Piece Black Cat Pumpkin Inserts
4. Primitive Fleece Stuffed Pumpkin
5. Halloween Handle Light
6. Halloween Handle Light
7. Halloween Handle Light
8. Primitive Jack-o-Lantern Cutout Luminary Top (missing stick) Homemaker's Idea
9. Jack-O-Lantern Tree
10. Large Plastic Bucket
11. Medium Plastic Bucket
12. Small Plastic Bucket
13. Bag of Jack-o-Lantern Light Coverings for strand lights.
14. Fleece Halloween Drawstring Bag
15. Mini Candy Corn Candle
16. Mini Caramel Scent Candle

I found this original Halloween handle light in my decorations.




I can remember as a child dressing up in my costume and making sure I had new batteries in my light. I had just as much excitement holding this light as I did actually trick-or-treating. He has accompanied me on many a nights over the years, but has no use in today since trick-or-treating is so early in the daylight. Thank you friend, for leading the way in my darkness...

A total of 16 items cleaned out for this week. Not a bad start :) These items will be boxed up for the yard sale this summer.
