potholders drawer

My grams had given me new potholders that she made me and I couldn't jam them into the potholders drawer. So I took that as a sign to clean it out. I was pretty amazed with the amount of TRASH in this drawer. WHY was I holding on to trash in there?! Ugh.

I'm glad Bridget nudged us on the board today. Maybe we'll get back at it. I know I need to. It's been a long time and I am desperate to have a yard sale. So I as I purge the house for the sale, I'll be thinking about my ten things again now!

before, had to shove the drawer in.

Mom's Kitchen

When I was visiting my folks, I cleaned out my mom's fridge and pantry. Here's the before and after pics.

but it's stuff I just didn't know what to do with so it stayed)

My latest

I haven't fallen off the earth nor have I gone lazy but ohhhhhhhhh does lazy sound nice. My house is taking a backseat for now. I am full blown in landscaping mode. I have pulled and planted and seeded and mulched like it's nobodies business. It's like my full time job outside of my full time job and my 2 kids. I have spent so many hours the last week working on my gardens. I WISH I had taken before and after pics. Nothing like 4 yards of mulch to kick your ass in gear!

Anyway, still have a lot more to do until I am done. I love this stuff. Inside has to wait.

Hello June!

I'm still on vacation and am itching to get back home to work on my 10 things projects. I just wanted to encourage the other posters! Everyone take time today and grab just ten things, even if it's just ten pieces of trash off the counter or something! It doesn't have to be a giant project, just pick up something. Okay, that's all.
