I just handed off around 40 1 cent stamps to my oldest that I found when we were cleaning out a late family member's home 15 years ago. oldest was going to mail a package so there was plenty of room to lick um and stick um

DEc decluttering efforts.

Overall did not hit the amount that I wanted to this year, but that is okay, a boatload of stuff (both small and large) still left the house! So still a win regardless!

1 Dried Up marker - trashed
1 dead pen - trashed
4 well expired COVID test kits - recycled/trashed
1 ripped reusable shopping bag - recycled
1 partial Gift Card - used up and recycled
1 partial Notepad - used up

439 / 500
87.8% of goal

Looking back at 2025, I didn't meet my goal of 2,025 items but I did manage to get 1,013 items removed! I still consider it a win! Hopefully 2026 will be the year that the house is cleaned out!
