We are joining Anne at Minimalist Sometimes in her 21 day challenge – Decluttering this Time.
We are only going to do 14 days since we have a trip scheduled and will be gone for days 15-21. We are also doing the count from 14 items the first day to 1 item on the 14th day since that will be the day before we leave. We are also starting today while she is starting on Monday! Let the decluttering begin!!
A unique find in Barb’s desk: a word search puzzle book dated August 1998. I guess if it hasn’t been used in 18 years, it can leave the desk!
Here are the first 14 items.
Decluttering the Stuff 
An 18 yr old book?? That’s funny!! Just like something I’d find on MY desk! Except I never live longer than 5 years at any one place, so it would be on an entirely different desk, or in a box of desk stuff!

I thought we removed things like this when we moved back into the house. I’m sure we are going to find lots of gems! We are dreading the garage. There are bound to be some doozies there.

Well, it’s just fodder for your blog!! What would you have to write about if everything was all clean, and de-cluttered??

What do you do with a mesh travel laundry bag?

put the dirty laundry in them. I’m not sure how we ended up with so many but when we found 4 it just seemed like they needed to leave. I’ve never used them. They were in the old suitcases.

Then do you wash the clothes before you travel back with it or bring the dirty clothes back in them? We just use trash bags for dirty clothes on vacation, that way if we have to bring back the dirty clothes, we can close it off pretty well so it doesn’t stink up the suitcase.

It does seem weird. Hubby says it’s so the dirty clothes can “breathe”. I agree that it might make the other stuff stinky. Guess that’s why I never used them. Typically by the end of a trip everything is dirty so what’s the point.
