The new count as of tomorrow is 361 things! So proud of myself and excited to feel more peace. The less things I have to keep track of the more I find time to read a book or actually work on a project instead of just packing around things for projects and never working on them.
I have been loving the CLAN library system. I have access to pretty much all the libraries in Northern Nevada and can get most any item (movie or book) that I have an interest in and have it delivered to the Carson library for my convenient pick up... AND I don't have to store the books at my house which is a big plus! Don't get me wrong because I love books but I was finding that they were taunting me from everywhere in my house. The cookbooks that I never used but had 6, the 2 shelves of church related books, the 3 shelves stories of which I re-read instead of picking a new one, etc. There they would sit almost accusingly as I then chose the library book to read instead. Gone is the guilt of not reading them and instead replaced by the excitement of a new book.
(FYI I still have 75-100 books (that I feel are not taunting me) after getting rid of almost 200 between last year and this project so I am not completely book free)

I think a perusal of your books needs to be in my future :) I LOVE the quilt and hot pads, so darling!
Thanks! I'm having fun actually finishing things.
