What a day! I've fallen into the bad habit of lethargy. Yesterday was one of those yucky days where I had so many things I wanted to do, cleaning projects, home decorating ideas and artsy craftsy projects to begin, but I ended up doing nothing at all! I was s0 frustrated with myself. I love weekends and my time at home is so incredibly special to me that I was doubly irritated with myself for wasting time with my inertia. Today, however, was a different story! This afternoon it was like I had been hit by a bolt of decorating/decluttering lightening!

It all started when I asked my darling husband to help me move our computer desk to another wall in the living room. It looked so much better and less cluttery that I went on to push furniture from room to room. I swapped out a couple of book cases which in turn forced me to cull my book collection (I had NO idea I had so many!). I threw out a half-dead Boston fern from two summers ago (it was still hard to say goodbye!) sorted a beautiful set of pink china into a couple of boxes for one of my darling sisters, emptied my "candle cupboard" and rearranged what was left in a new area. It feels great in here...though I'm so tired I couldn't quite finish in the dining room. I'll have to make time tomorrow morning to put my record player and records in some new locale.

I feel free! I feel uncluttered and cleaned out! I feel....happy that I took the time to do this. I have so much more I want to do, but for now it's nice to have gotten this far. I'm attaching a couple of the craft projects that I did manage to accomplish this weekend....
