True to Myself

Purging...it feels good!

Got my car back into the garage today!!!

Here in sunny ol' Florida we don't have basements.  Because of this, our garages end up as our "storage areas" unfortunately.  When we moved to FL, we not only had our 3 car garage filled w/ stuff, we also had two, yes TWO, storage units.  A few years back, we got rid of the storage units, leaving only our garage filled with junk.  Our third bay is filled w/ all my husbands tools.  He has quite a bit as my father loved tools and passed several things on to him.  That left our 2 car area, and I say that lightly because it would TIGHTLY fit two cars, its more like a car and a half. Today, we reclaimed that area as well!! Yea!!

 I drive a big Ford Expedition XL, so it is the only car we can fit in the "2 car" space.  The other car now sits in the drive.  The remainder is our kids scooters, bikes, outdoor toys and some cabinets w/ outdoor equipment and crafts that the kids need permission to do (ie- Easy Bake Oven, Candy Jewelry Oven, Playdough, etc.).  There are still a few crates I need to go thru, but only 4! Phew! I can handle that...man it feels great to get rid of things!! Salvation Army truck came and picked up a bunch!!

Summertime is great for big projects.  The more projects we get done, the more I want to do as well! The feeling is contagious! 

It's Summertime!

The kids have already been out of school a week now.  The week has flown by!  I hope this is not an indication of how fast the summer itself will go!

We have been cleaning out closets & getting rid of things that don't fit anymore.  I am working on purging things that have been sitting around for almost a year that I kept thinking I was going to Ebay.  Never did.  Salvation Army is getting a nice car load tomorrow! Yea!!

I also reorganized my scrapbook room. 

 

 

Can't wait to scrap in it now.  I made this to show my friends on www.chattyscrappers.com  It's a website that my BFF started w/ some of her friends.  If you scrap, you should check it out!! 

We lost our video camera.  Learned a VERY hard lesson today.  Never keep all of your memory cards in your case.  If you do, at least download them every few years!  We've lost all video of my son and youngest DD.  :(  Makes me so ill.  We still have our fingers crossed on calling a few places we might have left it on Monday.  Keep your fingers crossed for us too! We need all the luck we can get!  Will let ya'll know!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
