Getting Rid of our Junk Week 11-13 of 54

For week 11, I pulled a 6 and for week 12, I pulled an 8 and for week 13, I pulled a 2.

When I was cleaning out the basement of all the cardboard I posted about last update I saw 6 buckets I had never used from the bakery so I put a post up on Facebook offering them to my friends and they were claimed within minutes!

For the 8 card my son cleaned out his room and had a bunch of empty shoe boxes he wanted to get rid of (kid has way more shoes than I will ever think to own). There is a local church that collects shoe boxes every year for Operation Christmas Angel so I dropped all 8 boxes off to them to use for Christmas boxes for children in need.

For the 2 card it was kind of an in and out. I had a friend give me two boxes of embroidery/needlepoint supplies and after looking through it all I kept the embroidery floss and decided to donate the rest to the church sale because I wouldn’t use any of the supplies otherwise for myself.

I know I am two weeks behind in my year long purge so I will be picking 2 cards to do for next Wednesday. Oh and still working on that King card and the pallet project!

The cards I pulled to catch up for this week are a 9 and an 8. I can do that!

How is your purge going? -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
