End of February

This month seems to have just flown by! I managed to get three boxes ready for donation. It is mostly books which isn't a bad thing as I have so many of them! I am hoping husband will drop them off sometime this week so I can start another box for March. I like the idea of having a box to see and remind me that I need to fill it with things that can be got rid of. Although I haven't got my BIG photography project finished, I have been making progress on it. I shall continue with that next month too. 

Yesterday it rained all day long. Well, to start with it was freezing rain but as I wasn't going for a walk I waited until the freezing rain and passed and it was just all rain and went out to run my errands. I had a hair appointment, then I did my food shop and dropped packages off at the Post Office. I have not included in my got-rid of pile all the things that have gone out this month through Ebay. I reckon there have been at least another two boxes worth of stuff. Perhaps I should be keeping track of it!

March is National Craft Month. It seems fitting that I plan to try to do a bit of sorting and organising up in my craft room. Hopefully I will end up getting rid of a bunch of items - some to donate and some to put on Ebay. Also, in March I plan on tackling a bunch of craft and other magazines I have. We shall see. These goals might stretch into April as well as I will be gone for about a week and a half in March. 

Today I went for a walk with my friend. It was rather dull but at least the rain had stopped! It was awfully muddy on the walk though!  I came home, did some housework, sorted some Ebay stuff and worked on my photography project. 

Photo today - lots of Red-winged Blackbirds around. It's a little early for them, but it's lovely to see them again. They are one of the first birds to return after winter!

  1. Lovely photo of the red winged blackbird. I remember seeing them when I was in Wisconsin; I haven't seen them over here.
    Sounds like you had a busy day! Well done on all the decluttering! Three boxes plus is great!

    1. They are lovely birds - at least when they first show up in the spring! I am glad to be getting things done.

  3. Three boxes of donations is a good result for February. Do you feel you are making a dent in the number of books yet? xx

    1. I think I am slowly getting there. I still have a lot more to get rid of. I just have to make sure I don't bring any more into the house. Books are my go-to things to look at and buy when I'm feeling down or stressed. Most of the books in my house I purchased used but there are still too many!

  4. Freezing rain does sound unpleasant. I'm glad it didn't last too long. xx
