Starting off 2013 with de-cluttering numeric challenge

The challenge is 7 items for 7 days= 49 or more items.  Some people don't like numeric challenges, I love them.  Since part of why de-cluttering never seemed to work for me before is staying focused.  With these types of challenges I can bounce around and not have to think as much on the space but just the items. I look forward to seeing how much I can get done with this.

2013 New Year's Resolution(s)

Don't let this year's resolutions go in one year and out the other.  Keep it simple, write it down, and post it where you can see it daily. 
  Here is mine:
(1) eat better, healthier meals
(2) manage my time better

Beardo style hat for Josh

So me and Mariana put our heads together on this one.  Josh wanted one of those hats that has a beard looking thing attached.  This ended up turning out much nicer than I even expected.  Since Josh really likes the side paneled furry hats from AE, they purchased one of those. Mariana knits, so she done a panel in black for the beard and I added buttons to the beard part and loops into the hat to make it removable.This was definitely alot cheaper, it does look different than the much more expensive ones...he loves it!

Memory Ornament

http://www.frugalupstate.com/crafts-diy/easy-childrens-christmas-craft-paperclip-angels/Even though the children I keep are too young to understand the tragedy of the Connecticut school shooting.  We made one angel and hung on the kids craft tree in memory of those spending Christmas with the angels.  Many prayers to those families.  I had hope to make several this year after finding the idea in the above link.

Snicker Tree

I made 3 last night, and they are already delivered.  I have made these for years.  Each one has about 20oz of Snicker minis in foil.

Ok I already posted I am NOT minimalist in this area. But I have donated 9 artificial trees and trashed 3 for 2012. So, for me, I have done well at slowly paring down...this year I have 3 trees up.
This one don't count:

The Kitchen Tree

The Craft Tree- only lights are allowed we make everything else and work on it all through December, so it isn't done.  The ages working on it this year are 18 month through 4 years old.

 The Living room tree-the only live one I have up this year

 We done the "elf on the shelf"  this year as well.
