Craft, Create, Celebrate Life
Well, no black Friday shopping for this gal. I am downsizing and minimizing so nothing that the stores are offering is on my wish list. I have way too much as it is that I don’t use.
It is satisfying to not be pulled in by the want, wants, wants ways I have had taken over in the past. One small step for this gal. whew. 🙂

Time passed and I didn’t get the chance to come here and post a step by step. As I packed it hit me hard that I have way too many craft supplies. It has been overwhelming to me to pack it all up and now doing the unpacking thing. Ugh!
I will proceed now to downsize the number of items I have. I don’t need as much as I have to be crafty and creative. I will be back as I go through this process to document my downsizing of the craft room.
We are being packed up and loaded for our in early Oct 2018. I have been pruning my books and some clothing items plus more before the move.
Once we are settled into our new home I will get rid of more items we don’t use and have not used in a long time. These moves have brought to my attention again how much stuff I have that doesn’t get used by anyone in our household.
So much has been going on since our move back in December 2018 to San Antonio. Our home back in Oklahoma finally sold in June 2019 which was a big load off our minds. It took a bit to sell I think because it was out in the country but we are blessed a family fell in love with it and bought it.
Now our stay in San Antonio has become temporary and we are moving again. I stressed over our move from the Oklahoma home to San Antonio way too much. I meticulously packed and prepared all our stuff for the move. Now with another upcoming move and me starting to stress out again I paused and had a good time to think things thru. I am not going to stress over this upcoming move as much. I am taking time to donate, recycle and dispose of some things we don’t need anymore.
I have decided to minimalize our home and this will not be an overnight thing it may take me some months but I am ready for the challenge in order to make our home a more peaceful and comfortable home to live in for our family.
