Cool idea

Okay, I saw this today and thought it was a really cool idea. I'm wishing now that I had gotten the 50 states cricut cart when it was on sale for $9.99, so I could make this to document all our trips over the years. Heck I could even squeeze Hawaii into the frame!!! To update my last post........the basil plant is officially dead. I plan on picking up a plant at the nursery and trying one more time. The basil I did get off the plant before it's early departure was quite good!

Today I plan to finally get into my scrap room and do some serious cleaning. I have been picking over things for months, but the time has come to face the fact that some of the stuff I have "collected" will never get used. The "ah-ha" moment came when I read chapter 1 of The Happiness Project (it's our December book club selection, but the chapters are arranged by month and it's designed to read over a period of a year). The chapter talked about clutter......free clutter and sale clutter, and all sorts of other clutter. What I discovered was that I have lots of "sale" and "free" clutter in my life!!! So I'm rolling up my sleeves and starting phase one of my decluttering project. We shall see if I'm "happier" after I stir up all the dust~

I have been de-cluttering my house for the past few weeks...I have a box for donation items and a box for garage sale items...I am pricing every item as it is placed in the box, so all I have to do is sit it out at the next garage sale my dad has.

That's a great idea Debbie!
