Happy Monday - My Qwest to De-clutter

Out of clutter, find simplicity. -Albert Einstein

As you all may be aware of by now, I'm a packrat. Last year I tried a 30 day challenge of de-cluttering by getting rid of one thing a day for 30 days. I don't think it lasted but two weeks, but that was 14 things gone!! A friend spoke of the 30 Day Minimalist Challenge on Facebook so I figured I'd give it another go.

Day 1 - Old jars that I filled with Hot Chocolate Mix and gifted to friends.

Day 2 - An orchid that didn't quite make it...

Day 3 - Pair of boots that will be donated to the Goodwill.

Marang Studios NOW OPEN

Today is the day!! My new Etsy shop is now open - Marang Studios. Come see my new items and browse the shop. New items will be listed over the next few days so please make sure to come back often!

My 100 List (part 1)

In conjunction with my New Year's Resolutions I've realized I needed more goals in life. Things to look forward to, accomplish, set my sights on. I've read about the 100 List before and have had it bouncing around in my head ever since. So, I've begun my list. It may take a while to complete so I am going to create 10 small lists at a time. Here's my first 10.

1. Sky dive.
2. Take a hot air balloon ride.
3. Learn to surf.
4. Run a marathon.
5. Learn the trapeeze.
6. Learn to snowboard.
7. Go horseback riding along the beach.
8. Learn to swing dance.
9. Learn to water ski.
10. Ride in a helicopter.

It's surprisingly exciting to write this all down, remember childhood dreams and wishes. Definitely giving me things to look forward to and inspiration to begin to cross off these items!!
