An emotional purge!

Here were the tasks to be done this week:

*Edit shoes...(which I did and actually got rid of six pair!)
*Get rid of 5 items of clothes you haven't worn in over 12 months...(I made it to three items!)
*Declutter bedroom and dust tops of bedside tables...(this was easy since I had recently cleaned them off anyway)
*Put loose change in a jar on top of bureau...(already had it done!)
*Go through underwear drawer and clean it out and organize...(already had it done!)
*Clean underneath bed...(my side was clean--can't say the same for my husband--and I'm NOT doing it for him!)
*Toss all outdated makeup and toiletries...(I admit I haven't done this one yet.  It's a hard one.  I can't seem to throw anything away if it still has something in it!)

It was difficult to do some of the challenges this week because I am emotionally tied to some of the clothes and shoes I donated.  I think it's hard to get rid of those personal items but I think it's important to remember that they really are only clothes and shoes and makeup.  You can't take them with you!!!

I have a couple more days of this month to finish off the buttoned-up challenge.  It's been great!  I'll post again on Wednesday when I start a new resolution for February!
