The Three What's!

 
Haven't faced the three "WHAT'S" for 28 years!!!!!!
 
"What" to keep?
"What" to sell?
"What" to give away?

Everything is marked and today we will organize and spread out with more large tables!
 








 
 

 Friday and Saturday are the sale days, hope everything goes!

Hugs, Carolyn

    Carolyn, what a big job you have had, just sorting thru what to keep and what to discard. My daughter is just starting step one. Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home. Pam

    Oh, my. The mere thought of it has to be nearly overwhelming, but I'm hoping it's less overwhelming than when you begin.
    I would sooooo be there if I were closer. My Sweet Teen and I have spent over a year looking for a pre-electronic Battleship game. (Just don't get how manufacturers think they improve things just by jumping on the interactive technology bandwagon!)
    May your sale go well and may the things you are parting with truly bless their recipients.

    Oh my....I my heart started beating fast when seeing all that work! We are considering a move also...and just looking around my house stifles me, and we've only been here for 18 years.
    Best of luck with your 'Three Whats' :)

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago.

Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"!

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy!
