Karen, we are making a real difference in our living spaces. Isn't this an exciting venture? I'm so excited about the progress I've made. Enjoy the journey and continue the good work!

Roe, before we moved (California) to Texas, I went through every room and space in the house, and it ended with a huge donation of furniture, dishes, clothes, rugs, and other stuff collected over the years.
In Texas, while unpacking boxes, I found many things for donation again. We decided to keep only the things we will use.
Many things went to Salvation Army, and now I'm taking care of my yarn stash cumulated in many boxes, and also toys for children. In the summer time I usually crochet hats, scarfs, and afghans for cancer patients, and toys for Christmas. It keeps me be happy. Hugs! Ada.
