Use it or Lose it!!

2018. I just can't believe it's here already!! Here we are 8 days into the new year, and I am prepping for a show, and finding myself surrounded by STUFF. 

You know how it goes. The holidays are over, and you have cleaned up the trash, but now you have to find space for the new things. On top of finding space for the old things.
Well, at least I am in this position. 

My house looks rather like a bomb hit it. Or I am auditioning for "Hoarders" but am not quite there yet. 

So 2018 is going to be the year of USE IT OR LOSE IT. 
My place will never be magazine ready, but I would like it to be company - or at least friends- ready. 

That means, using up the piles of fabric all around the house. Finding places to put the craft supplies so we can use them. Get the sewing machines that are waiting to be fixed, fixed.

And get rid of all the stuff that is here that we never use. I don't have a pretty picture to share, and I am certainly not going to share one of my place right now, hahaha, but suffice it to say that this needs to be done. 

Big yard sale? Well, when it's warmer, definitely! 
Facebook yardsales? Already on it. Not getting any bites yet, so I need to put a time frame on those so I'm not having stuff sit forever waiting. 

Took 2 bags of clothes to good will, and returned 2 bags of bottles. Not much of a start, but it IS a start.

I bet, if you look around, you will find something you can use up or get rid of too!
