I just checked your website and Etsy store. The beaded lotus is truly magnificent. It seems like our jewellery-making style is very similar. I'm going to sign off now and go look at your site. <br /><br />ttyl<br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747846783177833492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069019903329568620.post-38351752616547507222011-04-13T18:29:45.340-04:002011-04-13T18:29:45.340-04:00Hi Barbara, I understand how you feel!

We have a large community yard sale every May, so I'm preparing for that first. After that it will be donated and some trashed. It's hard because our stuff has value - and maybe only to us. I find it's been easier to go through a certain number of items or for a defined amount of time each day. Say 10 items or 15 minutes. I've been able to make a nice dent in my "pile". <br />Remember as we let go we become open to receive (which doesn't necessarily mean more stuff).<br />Wishing you the best, <br />ShannonRosewind Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310459983004230637noreply@blogger.com
