Congratulations on the clearing job!

Sometimes things just have to be done "when we're in the mood"!

Waiting for "the mood" so my basement can get done.

I did. I found the letter my grandmother (who passed away last year) wrote me when I graduated from college. I also found her hand-written recipes for divinity and for cream cheese candy. My grandmother was a professional candy maker and cake decorator, so finding her personal recipes that she wrote out for me made me cry. My mom said she thinks I am the only one in the family that has those recipes. Those mementos were worth all the effort to clean up that space. (I also found my HS diploma, my college diploma, and my graduate diploma! I wondered what I did with them.)

Congrats for getting the place cleaned up. I know I have done some similar things looking for the "whatever" I know that I have.

That is so true. I wouldn't have even begun the project without that motivation. I am bummed that I didn't find the fabric, however. I have houseguests the next few days, so I won't have much time to look. :cry:

That sounds like quite a day. Buy you have a wonderful cleaned up room. I bet you need a nap.
