Decluttering Commitment for 2011 – September

I’m linking up once again to Nony @ A Slob Comes Clean to account for what I’ve done to declutter my home.

Last month I surpassed my year-long goal to Declutter 1825 Things in 365 Days (five things/day) so now I’m just tallying how many things I can declutter across the whole year.

Thanks again for hosting Nony!
