Was going through a bunch of old stuff I had collected over the years to declutter, and I just couldn't throw this away without at least taking a picture of it.
Quiet of early Saturday Morning. Cool enough to declutter, want to sit and write and connect instead.

North wall facing a window, which almost always remains closed. This ikea wire rack is mainly used for storing Ribbons and small embellishments.

View of the art science building in singapore. Taken with a sigma 10-20 3.5. Little bit of editing was required to declutter the foreground.
ok, the design changed a bit. this is the design the pastor preferred - after i already got to the go ahead for a different design and did work on that. but, oh well, at least i have time to change! :)
this is the bulletin shell (imagine this folded, the left side is the back, the right side is the front).
my question is, does this need something else? their theme is SIMPLE - really trying to declutter at the holidays. so, i probably just need to be told simple is good, it's what they want, now leave it alone. but i keep feeling this pull to make it more - but more isn't always better! i just want to make sure the simplicity is beautiful.
any comments?
p.s. the resolution doesn't look great on here, but it looks better in person.
I don't know why I still have this. Come to think of it, I don't know why anyone thought giving stuff like this away was appropriate or useful. We spent a lot of money on logo-junk given away at exhibit halls and a lot of time and energy collecting it and dragging it home. Now I feel the need to declutter -- with logo-junk at the top of the must-go list.
Why would anyone, ever, have wanted a glass 2-button mouse with a trade association logo and URL etched onto it?

I had worked at Goodwill Industries of Rhode Island for 11 years. It was a great place to work, and I thought that I would never again experience the feeling of making a difference in people’s lives. Following a short absence, I had the opportunity to return.
Just prior to coming back to work at the agency, I was going through a very difficult time. My husband had unexpectedly passed away, and my life was turned upside down. Goodwill welcomed me back with open arms, and provided me with a safe environment and much-needed stability. Being of service to others gave me a sense of accomplishment and belonging, and the future grew brighter for me and my daughter.
My current position is vocational evaluator/case manager. I am responsible for helping clients learn about their vocational skills, abilities, interests and aptitudes, and how they can translate into potential occupational areas. In addition, I help individuals identify how they learn best, their emotional and physical tolerance for a work day, and how skills and interests are transferable to different jobs.
As a case manager, I work closely with individuals to guide them through the process of re-entering the workforce, providing support and encouragement along the way.
Goodwill provides a great deal of professional training to keep employees informed of available services, updates to professional standards and other related issues. We also were able to obtain certification for PowerPath testing, which has really helped many of our clients better understand some learning challenges.
I firmly believe that each and every one of us understands Goodwill’s mission, and that we live it each and every day.

19 things Donated on the 19th day of my 30 Day challenge. Today I cleaned out the “linens” drawer in my kitchen (aka towels) along with the storage bin that was holding even more towels, table cloths, extra cloth napkins, extra pot holders. . . you get the picture. In the end I kept 6 of my favorite hand towels, 2 cute whimsical towels, 3 dish towels, and 2 table cloths. And it all fits neatly in a single canvas bin in the storage area of my dining room, instead of crammed into a tiny kitchen drawer that can be better used for tin foil, saran wrap, and just a few pot holders.
Out:
6 kitchen towels
6 cloth napkins I didn’t like
4 pot holders
an apron I never wear
And to hit 19, 2 more shirts out of the closet.
(Canvas bin from the Martha Stewart collection at Home Depot. I love that they're just a touch nicer than the usual canvas storage bins, plus these have labels on the front!)
Today, up to my ankles in old software! The week's project is to redo the computer, including weeding out all of the old software that somehow just accumulates...
CY365: where i stand
This photo is the desktop after drawing the initial sketch, marking up the lines on the original 4X8' plywood, cutting straight edges, jigsawing curves, applying edge banding, and some sanding!
goodbye, Australia.
Flying over Sydney just after take off, on June 20th. I was sitting just behind the wing, so the blur you can see across the middle is from the jets!

Picked up a couple lamps from IKEA. I'm finally startin' to slowly declutter this office. Picked up a Logitech VX Nano mouse as well.

Sideboards:
Declutter your dining room with a functional, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing storage solution: sideboards! Since most sideboards are designed to house primarily china, stemware and silverware, in addition to any mundane necessities, such as bottle openers and coasters, you can be assured that you’ll always be ready to tackle any last minute entertaining. The sideboard, however isn’t limited to storing dining essentials. Take advantage of the many drawers and shelves built into most sideboards and use to store extra miscellaneous supplies.
Another view of edge banding. I was less careful with the bottom side of the desk surface for obvious reasons.
2 shot blend in photoshop. Captured just before sunrise. Wish I had more time to wet the stone tiles down, but was busy trying to declutter. :/
This is a very thrifty/upcycled bag. The only new material used was some thread. The hedgehog was from a pattern that I found in a thrift store magazine. The doily it is stitched on was given to me by a friend, who got it from the thrift store they volunteer at. The buttons were from another friend. The yellow and red fabric was from a friend of a friend, who was moving and had to declutter their craft supplies. I'm very proud of how it turned out.

Day 13. Today FlyLady asks me to do one of Kelly's Missions. It was going to introduce me to how to break our my home into zones. FlyLady promises, that this way we never have to spring clean again! Yay!
There will be a new mission from Kelly each day during the week for whatever zone we are working in. This week's zone is Zone 1- the front porch, entrance, and dining room. From these three we only have the entrance, so I chose the mission that made me clean up the entrance. Kelly challenged me to do this is in less than 15 minutes, but I think it took a bit longer.
I added notes for details and more info.
I hate that poor yellowish light.

bit.ly/1hPpbRsDuring my school years I remember being an easy target because I was picked on a lot by the other kids. It got harder and harder for me to go to school, but I finally finished high school in 2007. I had no future plans and remained home with my family for the next three years. I spent most of that time on the computer playing games.
My mom and I talked and decided it was time to call and get some professional help. I got involved with Community Mental Health and they helped me create a personal plan to learn better social skills, think about my future plans and to make money.
When I came to Goodwill Industries of St. Clair County my life started to get better. I felt more comfortable and began making friends and receiving a steady paycheck. I had good supervisors and great co-workers that helped me come out of my shell. I learned janitorial duties and how to assemble parts in a production workshop
Goodwill taught me how important it is to be on time, how to follow a schedule, how to get along with others and to improve my communication skills.
I was honored when my co-workers elected me to represent them in our monthly client delegate meetings. This was an opportunity to address everyday work concerns with Goodwill board members and staff. I felt like I was an important part here at Goodwill.
As my self-esteem increased, my counselor suggested Goodwill place me in a short-term work trial at a local grocery store to see if I was ready to work in the community. I was so happy that it went well.
Not long after, I was able to find work at a local grocery store in my community. I was hired part-time as a courtesy clerk; my duties are bagging groceries, back stocking and getting grocery carts. Presently I feel my life is so much fuller. I have higher self-esteem and now enjoy meeting new people.
At my job I receive a weekly paycheck. I have opened my own bank account, and am learning to budget my money. In my free time, I enjoy reading and shopping.
Because of Goodwill, I now feel confident about making future plans that I never dreamed of. I plan to get my driver’s license, go to college and study computers, and to live on my own.
