Catching up...

Our house full of 25 people this weekend was really really fun, and I probably spent 30 minutes each day TAKING pictures, which is not the same as ORGANIZING pictures, but I'm going to count it anyway. One of my resolutions is to be more gentle with myself.

Last night I organized the photos from July, and I plan to sort through and find all of the best ones today, then post them for my family/friends to enjoy.

This week is also my opportunity to get rid of all of the clutter that I have moved to my garage. I'm going to try some combinations of Once Upon a Child, a garage sale, and donation to get rid of it all. I have a compulsive need to go through each box and make sure that every piece of the puzzle or game is there, because I know it would drive me insane to find a puzzle piece later on that goes to a puzzle that I no longer have. Maddening! So, I have some puzzles to do! Luckily they are all for kids younger than 5, so I shouldn't have too much trouble.

We have another gathering of 25 people this weekend, though we're swapping one family for another, the rest of the group will be the same. I'm looking forward to it!

Busy, busy, busy! I'll bet taking pictures is more fun than organizing them.

I had a garage sale in July of last year. It was way too hot. My advice? Wait til September when it cools down a bit. Good luck!

I hope the de-cluttering is not too puzzling an experience.

I'm not going to be sitting at the garage sale, luckily; a friend of mine will be selling my stuff for me.
