As the 30-Day Eat at Home Challenge is not so quickly coming to an end, (which I will be updating you on tomorrow,) I realize that I totally shot myself in the foot. All of my books and projects are based on 21 days – I was kept from my frozen yogurt for 9 days longer than I needed to be. Drat.
Well, I won’t be making that mistake on my next Project – the Get Rid of It Project.
Starting on Monday, June 22nd, I will be spending 21 days getting rid of the excess stuff in my house. Between donating things, giving them away to friends, recycling and in desperate cases, throwing it away, I will be going room to room (sorry, avoiding the teenagers rooms – personal safety and all that,) getting rid of what we don’t need, want or what we have too much of.
So here is my question: Would you like to join me?
Would you like to be able to walk from the front door of the house to the kitchen without tripping over 2 years of InStyle Magazines?
Would you like to be able to find the bills and pay them on time?
Would you like to actually know what is in the storage boxes in the garage?
If you would like to be held accountable and cheered on by your cyber friends, leave a comment in today’s comments.
Of course there will be great giveaways and guest experts to keep us motivated along the way – so join me in losing a few pounds (of stuff.)

Yes! I am in on this! We are moving at the end of the summer and I need to get rid of stuff.
I so need to join you in this. I am looking forward to organizing my house:)
What a great project! I love cleaning out and making my home “sing!” However, I have to be careful b/c sometimes I get so caught up in the moment that I get rid of items that I later find myself looking for. LOL Anyway, count me in!!! Lana 🙂
Kathi picked a perfect day for me. Fighting cancer and surviving another birthday on June 22, I will be happy to start a “clean up” and start fresh project in my apt. You go girls!!!
Thanks Kathi.
Love
Sandie
So glad to see you all on board – we are going to have some fun!!!

I think I still have the filing organizer that I won when you spoke at a women’s ministry event at my sister-in-law’s church (back in 2003 or 2004?). It was the first time we ever met.
YES !!! I am already doing this…now have inspiration to do a bit more and really let go of some of my “treasures” that have no use to me and I don’t need-but have been hoarding ! (For years)
I would love to do this with you. Looking forward to it!!!!!!
That would be so great! I have a pack-rat for a hubby, but you just learn to deal with it.
A great idea our church had was to have a garage sale with all the old stuff and donate the money to one of the missions or “causes” you believe in. They did a Church Wide ‘Need, Love, Response’ sale.
Others might get their entire Church behind them.
