Out of the Closet....

Here is my closet after it's been cleaned up a bit. I've tried to label boxes and organize my clothes. I've rid myself of unworn clothes and tidied up a bit. I've hung my purses if you can see them.. and cleared out the unnecessary... I still have some work to do.. but it is a start!

An early Birthday Party

My friends surprised me last week with an early birthday party... I loved it.. These women are wonderful. Supportive, kind, funny, loving, intelligent women. I love them and had to share them with you because they mean sooooo much to me... I love my friends...they keep me going when I sometimes want to quit!! Love them!!

January... is it over yet???

Well, it's dead of winter here in Maine and the days are short and the nights are long...January is almost over, but the winter is not. I've tried to get active this winter with buying snowshoes, getting outdoors and exercising. Funny, the winter isn't getting any better. I'm longing for the cool days of spring. Getting my seeds through the mail, planting them and watching them grow. The buds on the trees, the crocus popping through the earth and the days getting slightly longer. Oh spring.. come quickly!!!

Ever see the movie "The Shining"... it's getting like that here...I need a warm place to go and see the sun for at least 5 days in a row... How is your winter going???

I'm Back,,,,

Okay, remember I had to delete a post.. well there was one heck of a virus that hit my computer and I've been out of commission for awhile... so to update you on the happenings around..here it goes:

I had my 4th anniversary last week, so my husband and I went to Portland, Maine for an overnighter and enjoyed the less hassled every day and relaxed and enjoyed each other... We ate at the Fuji restaurant.. a Japanese restaurant in Portland.. it was great.

We stopped at Starbucks for a coffee and a snack and then checked into our hotel.. The Eastland Park Hotel. This is a picture of the room and the view at sunset.. the 12th floor!!

Then to the museum of Art and that was fantastic.. my precious husband purchased a pair of museum replica vintage earrings...mother of pearl and very vintage looking. Love them!! Last.. we enjoyed a drink and some food on the Top of the East.. a rooftop bar at the hotel..with a 360 degree view of Portland.

What a way to finish off the night...love my husband.. he is sooooo good to me!!

A Case of Chaos

Well, here is a place not many people are allowed to peek into.... this is my room with a mound of clothes heaped on my bed.. with shots of my very messy closet, purse stack and other clothes is disaray... I'm working on getting this organized..

(see my stickers on my clothes)...I am going through and trying to keep only what I really can fit into and that I wear. It's been a challenge to donate things that I really love, but will never fit into or wear again. This is the beginning of my challenge to get more organize and reduce the clutter in my life. I hope to show pics soon of a more organized, scaled-down and clutter free closet with clothes I really love and things I actually wear and that I'm just not renting a place to. Good luck in your organizational challenges... have a wonderful Sunday!!

A deleted Post....sorry..

I had to delete my last post, after reading all your lovely comments, due to a rouge post... it was very strange and I needed to get it out of my blog so no one clicked on it.. I think it was something not good.. I love all your comments and thank you to all for leaving such sweet thoughts.. I love my friends so much!!

My Motivation

Well, here they are!!

My motivation stickers. Bought them today for 1.00 at the Dollar Tree!! Great way to start my weekend and I'll show you pics of the things that are going to get stuck!

I had a good day, Target, Goodwill, Dollar Tree and a great little store in a small town "What to Wear".. it's a little "boutique like" consignment store. I bought a bag full of clothes for 14.00.. love to get a bargin. I brought 3 bags to Goodwill, so I could buy one bag of "new clothes" for me to replace what I got rid off!!

Have a great weekend,, get a box of stickers and go for it!!
