This has been a week of “clearing the decks” . I’ve been working at closing out projects and finishing overdue chores. Going through paper files, making sure everything is in a labeled folder, shredded, or disposed of in some way. Then I started in on the digital files – definitely a bigger project. Very satisfying and I’ve found some treasures I’d forgotten about in both stashes! I’ve been working on closets, cupboards and drawers for the last several months and just about done. I remember putting some of those things away shortly after we moved in here 10 years ago. They haven’t been touched since! I’ve gifted and good-willed and tossed. It’s good 1) to have the time to do that right now! and 2) live with the results! May you find a project that brings you joy this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome projects, recipes and ideas!

Thank you for hosting. It sounds like you got a lot done. That’s always nice. I’ve been shredding a lot of old documents and also organizing. It sure does feel satisfying to get those things done. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Take care.
