Compasses
Doesn't everyone have three compasses in the same drawer that they keep pens and pencils?
Well, since I now know that the only correct direction to go is "the way of less," I've given away two of them. I have to keep one, though, to help me remember not to get lost in my stuff!

Two Skeins Less
Yarn
Baa, baa, black sheep, yep, I do have wool, even though I don't knit. Back in their elementary school years, seems like the boys always had a need for bits of yarn, ribbon, and string. Not so often, any more. So, into the wonderful, bottomless High School Yard Sale Box go two barely-used skeins of yarn - one, a kind of denim color, and another, black with Halloween-like metallic threads. I hope someone will be happy to discover them, perhaps for their own grade-schoolers' crafts.

Rain-postponed yard sale = more decluttering opportunities for moi
Wednesday - Monday
Scrapbooking albums, decorative flower pot, never-opened model paints, birthday party balloons, random picture frames, CD/Cassette player
Five more days of schtuff for the big box o' high school yard sale items!
Wednesday: A pair of decade-old scrapbooking albums that never did receive any attention at all. I'm tired of being nagged at by these unused acid-free fiends. (What evil mind invented scrapbooking, and why? The same one who introduced the concepts of "some day," and "You really should immortalize all you love, while proving how clever you are!" ?!)
Thursday: Are the flower pots reproducing down there in the basement? Because I don't remember buying this, or receiving it, and I don't really like it. But I'm sure it must be pretty to someone - especially, for the right price!
Friday: Somebody in our house must have bought these paints, for some project, at some point in time (I'm guessing, of course, that it was me!). The moment has passed, I fear. They remain unopened, untouched, and still fresh - perfect for someone else to use!
Saturday: Busted! A packet of "Happy 1st Birthday" balloons, laying (lying?) limply, uninflated but still flexible. . . ready for helium or hot air, in celebration of another infant, or - with scrawled-on additional digits, any other -1- age combo. Nobody here will be involved with any form of "1" birthday for at least two more years. . . so fly away!
Sunday: So many empty picture frames (sigh!). I'll release them back into the wild. The wild world of yard sales, that is.
And a bonus!
Monday: I was chatting the other day with a young mom who's about to take on teaching a music class to small children, and she was wishing she had a cassette player. Ha! Your wish is my command! 'Cause just last week, I was looking at a stray player hanging around in our basement, thinking, "This has got to get out of here. I wonder if anybody I know can use it?" Love it! Hugs all around!
