Have you ever tried something like this or done project 333? I'm thinking for November I might kick it up a notch and do this challenge. Want to join me? I think it will be fun. I know a lot of people did it for October, but I had already started this game with my Mom. We had fun doing it. Since she lives in South Carolina and I'm now in Minnesota we talked on the phone about it a lot. (Miss you Mom!)

Day 14-6 old magazines, 3 binders, , does it count if I sent some professional books to work with hubby? A whole box went. (There were 13 of them.) They are out of the house-yet he still owns them. I’m not sure about it.

(Today was hard for me. I started resisting the changes I’ve made. I was in so many rooms looking for something to leave! Then seeing my sewing room in a state of well-clutter, made me depressed. I’ll start in there again tomorrow!)

I am trying to get it ready for the garage sale next year.
I’ve never had a garage sale before so I’m interested in seeing what I can make of it.
