Here's week #3's Challenge: List a few of the spots in your home that make you visually stressed because of all the clutter. Now go buy something for that spot - like a basket to put it all in!

I am actually chuckling right now as I think of how many baskets I have. What is your favorite thing to store in baskets?

I love to store books in baskets...setting beside a good reading chair.
ReplyDeleteI have been buying plants...it seems like when I bring in plants it tells me to get rid of clutter and choose life!
This goes with somethings God is showing me to get rid of in our lives....so spiritual clutter.
I remember you when I pray when I light the candle and turn on our music each morning.
Blessings!!!
I need to find some baskets.... I store my fruit in a basket sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso want to thank you for your encouragement the other day. Unfortunately, she decided not to forgive me nor admit that she was wrong. I told her that I forgave her despite the fact.
Hello, dear friend!! How are you??

I have to throw things away when no one is home too!!! I'm loving this challenge and have been so inspired by your words!
ReplyDeleteI love baskets too! I store bills in one, new mail in one and magazines in one.

I must follow suit! I am also a lover of baskets and I have too many that I need to go through. Like you, I need to do this when my hubby is away so I can actually toss out what we don't NEED to save - he would save everything given the chance! Thanks for the reminder that I need to tackle this :) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hooray for baskets!
