Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it is Wednesday already AND the last week of June! Where is the time going? Well this time last week final preps were going on for our sale, I can tell you that I am happy we are not doing that this week. It takes A LOT to put a sale together. Our sale was a SUCCESS! We weren't even open Friday and made a sale. On Saturday, we went to 1/2 price after lunch and things flying off the driveway. We have some stuff to take to charity and I still am going through Mom's stuff. We will prevail and find our garage again. Mr. Ken has the next couple of days off so some things will get done. (Hopefully) On Saturday, I am going to a Scrapbook Fair (no business going) with a friend. It will be a fun day, will try very, very hard not to bring anything home. :) Fun times here in the big state of Kansas. Oh yea, it is HOTTER than heck here. Hope everyone is surviving the summer heat. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello and happy Wednesday! Thanks for all your suggestions last week in regard to all the pictures we accumulate over the years. Since you all had such great ideas for that question I have another one for you. What do you do with ALL the greeting cards, thank you cards etc that you receive? I have my own thoughts but I am curious to hear your thoughts. As you know I am going through my Mom's stuff and I found a box with probably every card she had been given. I think when we had our fire in '93 the cleaning company put them in baggies as they were cleaning our things. I will admit that I have a problem throwing them away. On another note, I am having lunch with a co-worker. We will be celebrating her birthday! The Garage Sale is going done come Friday. Things are continuing to be organized, prepped and priced. What does not sell will be donated. Please pray that we have no rain during our sale Friday and Saturday. Hope everyone is well. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello, happy Wednesday! As you know we are getting ready for the garage sale of the season! Hopefully. Doing so I have been going through A LOT of stuff. I have run across many, many pictures and photos. My post today is really a question. What do you do with ALL the pictures/ photos that you have accumulated over the years? Besides the obvious. Such as: Your immediate family Extended family Other people and/or their kids Vacation photos Misc pics Silly pics You get the idea. We have sooooooo many pictures, I have some in books but with the digital age now they are on our phones and on flash drives, which we back up. I guess I just need to figure what to do with the BAZILLION loose pics we have. I hate shredding them but I don't want them floating around the dump either. I will be passing some on to family as they are older pictures of family that are no longer with us.
It is not a bad thing to have all these pictures and such because they tell a story but I don't need the multiples of one pose. :) As the saying goes: "A picture is worth a thousand words" ~Keep on Dreaming~
It is that time...Garage Sale time. We have had a storage unit since my Mom passed in '07 and it is time to empty it and move on. A lot of the stuff is mine but some of is my Mom's and I have a hard time going through her stuff. Again it is time. Our neighborhood has a sale organized by one of the gals up the street from us. So we have decided to join this year. Purging on a large scale is happening in our house along with the storage unit. Soooo currently I have spent my break working on the sale, trying to get the rest of our stuff back in our room and working part time (T/TH) at a center for children with exceptionalities for three and half hrs each day. I will have the last week of June off and Mr. Ken will be home some of those days. Then in July, I will be off that last week and we are going out of town for a couple of days. Once we get home I will be off till school starts. By July the sale will be over and I won't have that to focus on. As my cousin says (many times) "How was your day Grasshopper?" ~Keep on Dreaming~
Do you have these? I don't but I might buy some to have on hand. Here are some other uses for a bobby pin beside pulling back hair. Zipper pull lost? Clip a pin in the eye hole of the zipper and off you go. Need to reset a modem or toy? Use one to access the small area for resetting the item. Need that last bit of toothpaste? Slide a pin over the end of the tube, using your thumb and forefinger squeeze and push up toward the nozzle to get that last bit. Lost the end of your duck tape? Place a pin at the end of the tape and don't lose the end again. Chips need a closer? Pop a pin on the end of your bag to keep the contents fresh. Misplaced your straight pins? Use a bobby pin to hold your fabric together. Did you know? Hairpins are thought be one of the earliest human artifacts. Never know when you might need one, next time you are at the Dollar Store pick some up. ~Keep on Dreaming~
