But I decided that I needed to narrow down my interests, so I am keeping my sewing/quilting stuff and my knitting/crochet stuff. I packaged up the craft-stuff like paints and beads and gave it away on freecycle.Barb Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970539487622123183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71146327902045751132011-01-05T12:42:01.632-05:002011-01-05T12:42:01.632-05:00I have a major purge on my to do list.

Finally threw it out. Now usually on the weekends, I dig deep into the back and put 3 things on the counter that has been in the cupboard for a while, and someone has to cook meals that week to use up those 3 things, and as soon as those 3 are gone, out come 3 more. We have been living out of the cupboards for some time now so it is helping on the grocery bill too. We only have half the food we use to keep on hand, and we don't even miss it. Trying to get more gone before hurricane season, because if one comes this way, we really really stock up on groceries.Ann Marie @ 16 Muddy Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043510561974011878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-73420123441034536472011-01-04T13:39:52.855-05:002011-01-04T13:39:52.855-05:00I had to laugh about your saltines.

I had to heat water up in the microwave and then hold a clean, wet rag to his wounds - that helps wounds to drain (theoretically anyway). He never got infected so I think it helped. Wheee on the fabric coming my way!!! I've made a vow not to buy any fabric this year, including shirts - I hope it goes better than the vow to not drink Dr Pepper which lasted only one day.Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89849238741330812842011-01-04T12:44:07.611-05:002011-01-04T12:44:07.611-05:00gee, if i throw out MY tupperware, can i get a bre...gee, if i throw out MY tupperware, can i get a breadbox like that?cityquilter gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769584628450845408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8676825896972000472011-01-04T12:01:35.232-05:002011-01-04T12:01:35.232-05:00HI Bonnie,

I did clean lots of cabinets last week, but haven't tackled the pantry yet. I'm hoping to get to that this weekend. That and one more cabinet in the garage are all I have left to tackle in my pursuit of the well-organized life. Hah!! Like that's happening.
