There is nothing I like more than the opportunity to hang out, inside the house, during a snowstorm. Today we had that beautiful flaky stuff that made the outside world look like a snowglobe. I loved it, especially since I had no where to be.
What to do on a snowy day, lots of little jobs that just haven’t gotten done. The first thing I did was make a huge pot of Hamburger Soup with lots and lots of veggies.
Then, we put away the last Christmas tree. I cannot do that one on my own anymore and it was finally “warm” enough to spend some time in the garage making room for the tree and organizing the Christmas stuff so that it doesn’t get in our way the rest of the year. I even took down the lace drapery and washed that. Today was a very thorough cleaning!
Next I worked on destashing my scrapbooking supplies. I have joined a facebook group, Scrapbook Bargain Basement, and I have been working diligently to purge myself of unnecessary scrapbooking items. Today I took another 18 photos and added them to my online album. It feels so good to start clearing out items that I don’t use and probably won’t use.
After taking pictures of more items and adding them to my online album, I spent a little bit of time making little thank-you cards and little gifties to include when I send out a purchase.
One of my favorite things to do is to make my packages look nice when I send them out. I have been selling items so quickly that I ran out of gifties and cards. I was stressed everytime a sale came through because I needed to make something up on the fly. Now I have a little bit of a stash so I think I am good for a week.
I organize everything I want to purge in our spare bedroom. I have a 31 bag with my Etsy items and now I have a 31 bag filled with my stuff for the facebook page. I put my little gifties and cards in a little 31 bag. The bags make it very easy to organize because when we have someone come to visit, I just grab the bags and move them!
Today has been a very full, enjoyable day. Just what a Saturday should be!
