Actually, it goes along nicely with my spring cleaning I have already been doing. I gave a TON of scrapbooking things away. I could have given it to my girls, but then it would have ended up back on my floor...lol. I know it!<br /> 40 bags in 40 days. I love it.glitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408489334020626681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-10665713461307173432010-02-22T07:55:00.482-09:002010-02-22T07:55:00.482-09:0040 bags in 40 days?

I am trying hard to change that, and even though I'm a little late to the party and don't really do the whole Lent thing, I might just have to give this a try.<br /><br />(The biggest thing I was thinking of was all the old jeans in my closet that I need to toss. So it cracked me up when I scrolled down and saw that the captcha said denim!)Karen M.

Each time I get a craving I take that time to thank Jesus for what He's done for me and the craving passes.<br /><br /> I think I will take on this challenge as well. I won't be home for all of the Lent period but for the time I am--Wow! I can do some real 'damage'.<br /><br /> Thanks for the inspiration!Amy DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619634019229377839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-12712587680945065482010-02-19T16:58:44.607-09:002010-02-19T16:58:44.607-09:00Well you're not supposed to show us where you ...Well you're not supposed to show us where you hide the stuff!<br /><br />Good luck with letting go! I go in spurts of throwing everything away and then wanting to keep things.

Every once in a while, I say "Why did I get rid of that?" but most of the time, I never miss it. I just went through all three girl's closets and purged a bunch of clothes they don't wear anymore or have outgrown. It feels so much neater already!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240265014246492961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-22895326391484493172010-02-19T12:37:46.661-09:002010-02-19T12:37:46.661-09:00WOO HOO!

A friend of mine stopped me at work today and said she's read my blog post about "40 bags in 40 days" and was doing that herself, PLUS had her kids doing "40 toys in 40 days" - giving away 40 toys to needy children during Lent!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446490803268209701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793430820440200483.post-20848488876426862282010-02-19T11:24:06.761-09:002010-02-19T11:24:06.761-09:00I love, love, love this idea!

I just blogged about some reorganization at my house...I found SEVENTEEN phone books (yikes!) and something like sixteen water bottles. Crazy! It feels so good to declutter, that I imagine every bag you take out will feel like a grand cleansing :-)Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.com
