In 2010 I challenged myself to buying nothing new and it was a challenge indeed, but a wonderful one. Now that 2011 is here I'm going to share with you all that I have learned and hope to learn.

The Compact 2010 wrap up
I can't believe the year is over. However, I am looking forward to a date night with The Hubbs tonight...some beer and some Top Gear are in our sights :)
As for The Compact, I got derailed and choose to buy new in a few instances. As I reflect on all of the purchases I made this year, I can't believe how many have been used. I scored at The Army, garage sales and from friends and family. The Hubbs also turned a corner this year with curbing his spending and deciding to buy used more.
This journey has helped me to de-clutter our home. I used to whine all.the.time about how small our home was. It's only 900 sqft for 4 people, 2 dogs and 3 cats. Yeah, I know. But since the de-cluttering bug has hit, our house is much more of a home, than a dumping grounds for stuff.
I want to thank each and every one of you for joining me. I truly appreciated your comments and ideas throughout the year. And of course, the best part is that I made a few new friends along the way.

Way to go! I know I could have never done it (although I did follow your lead on quite a few things).
