28 days, 28 items.............

I thought I'd give you a heads up on this, but during the month of February I am going to put one item a day that I do not use or need into a garbage bag, and at the end of the month I will donate all items.

I was wondering if anyone else would like to join in with me?

Some things to donate would be clothing from your closet.  Shoes, hats, belts. 

Books, puzzles, games, toys.

From your kitchen, extra dishes, cups, cutlery.    Extra pictures, ornaments etc.

Extra craft supplies, like balls of wool, bags of notions.

Sheets, blankets and towels from your linen closet to give to the animal shelter.

Or you could put one item of food in a box each day for the month to donate to the food bank.  Even packages of pasta, ramen or a tin of soup each day would be a help and not too expensive.  Buying things on special would be a good way of adding too your box also.

I will give you another head's up closer to the end of the month, then during February I will post each day with what I have put into my bag.

Getting rid of 28 things in our house, would be helpful too kick start a Spring of decluttering.

Also for those Type A personalities; you know who you are....LOL  You could do a bag of things to donate and a box of food to donate.........

Is this something that interests you?  Do you have any other ideas of what to donate and/or to whom?

(P.S. giving you this heads, up will also give you a head start on gathering things together!!)

Should have listened to you all!

Yep, did way too much on Monday.  I was pooped and coughing up a storm.  Figured I could get a lot done.  Baby steps right?

In answer to your questions about this cross stitch project.  Once I have finished stitching it, I will back it with interfacing and fabric.  It will then roll up and be tied with a ribbon.  The markers will also be cross stitched.  All should be washable, albeit by hand.

I actually think February has gone by quite fast for a change.  What do you think?

We had a storm arrive on Monday night, and with that my poor head was just thumping.  I got a tea subscription for my birthday last year and among the last package was this Headache Halo tea from David's tea. Not sure if it does much good but thought it was better than taking a pill.

I am making a couple more goals for myself, starting tomorrow, so will post about them, then.
