1 for me and 2 for you…

I am attached to my stuff. I’ll admit it to anyone. I moved A LOT as a kid and the only thing that was constant was my “stuff.” But here’s the problem, my stuff is taking over the peacefulness of my home and replacing it with…yuck.  So, I am on a journey of sorts. I have read the books, the articles and now the blogs.  In fact…
I read a blog from the Happy Housewife and today’s issue talks about her near-triumph at decluttering her home with the 730/365 Challenge. Here’s a link to the original site at the finer things. I have decided – since I need to get rid of stuff anyway – to join in and challenge myself. 
I am going to try to live up to the challenge and get rid of 2 things each day. I’m hoping that I can stick with the whole “1 for me and 2 for you” thing.  I doubt it’ll go over with everyone in our home.  We’ll see.  I have 3 boxes of clothes and stuff in the garage ready to go to the Salvation Army…or maybe I’ll try the consignment shops in town first.  Tax write off or not, It’s always better to just get money now!
Amy (at amysfinerthings.com) is actually counting the items!  Very cool idea.  I’ll give that a try, then I can feel that sense of accomplishment along the way. I’ll keep you updated on my progress. I put a little "button" to take ya to the site if you want to go - and an ever UPDATED count.  Gotta get busy!

I know someone Famous!

Well kinda. There’s a gal at church, in the other ward that shares our building. I know OF her, (I know her mom-in-law at least?) and caught her blog attached to some friends’ blogs…

OK, on with it! I know OF a famous person! It turns out that she had some of her writing turned into a few fonts at that site I talked about the other day.  That is cool!! I had seen them before – when I downloaded them – but didn’t know the connection yet. 

Here they are:

Maybe I should have my writing made into a font.  Then I would be famous, too! At least to

It’s something to think about at least.

I'm in Time - Out!!!!!

I was reading in the Ensign this morning and have decided that I am a tad-bit addicted to Facebook. Maybe I should take a break for a few days...but then I might miss something. But if I don't take a break, I AM missing something...my kids and home and friends and life in general.

OK - but before I go. Here's what I posted on my profile this morning. (if I can figure out how to post it....) I can't figure it out... Go to youtube, look up "To Become Like Him" There will be several...choose the one that says "To become like Him Kara" watch and enjoy...then look to the right, there's another showing a girl's face. Choose it. It's AwEsOmE!!!!! It's a GrEaT message for girls of all ages. It helps us remember who we are and who we are becoming.
