May Clutter-Busting Challenge!


I am joining one of my favorite bloggers, Money Saving Mom, in her challenge to get rid of 7 things every day in the month of May!  I was hoping that she would set up this challenge to give us each an area to focus on each day, but it appears to be a free-for-all.  I can do this!

This afternoon I decided to tackle our tupperware/baking/small appliance cupboard in the 15 minutes or so I had before we had to leave to pick Sis up from school.  This area can get to be a problem.  Here is my "before" photo, one of all the crap... er, I mean, kitchen-ish supplies that I pulled out from this cupboard, the items I'm getting rid of, and how nice and neat it looks afterwards!


(Imagine that a picture is posted here.  For some reason its refusing to load and I think I had better walk away than get frustrated further and end up doing more damage somehow!)

(5/2/13 Edit:  It was still bothering me that the picture wasn't loading.  I can be persistent sometimes!)

I ended up pulling 8 things out of this area to get rid of, a few will go in our yardsale & yardsale free box and the coffee container and lid without a bottom went straight to the recycling.  I think I'll be able to spend a few more days focusing on the kitchen before I run out of things to eliminate!  Feel free to follow along, or join in if you would like!  If you join in the clutter-busting fun please comment and share how you're doing with this challenge!
