Nov 6- shoes

I have one of those shoe organizer things on the back of the door.  This pair has been in the bottom right corner for about 3 years.  They never move.  They never do anything except hang there, taking space.  So they have gone to a new home (I hope) and that is the goodwill box that will go to the thrift store one day when i have time.  The boxes are getting pretty full!

Nov 1-5 BAGS!

 I loved you little silver purse.  But you know, it's time.  Time to let go.  You are old and worn out, which is not to say that i don't still love you, i just, well...its not you, it's me.

 Goodbye random bag of white men's undershirts.  You need to go live where you will be appreciated. I dont know why you are here in the first place either.

Goodbye awesome bags i was never able to let go of.  You all served a great purpose but it is time to go.  Green bag, you got me through Amsterdam and the UK.  I remember I took off the Tommy Hilfiger tag so no one would know i was american and not Euro-Lori.  Unicorn bag, i loved you.  but your lack of interior or exterior pockets made me hate you.  Tiny star bag, we had some good times.  you were perfect for galavanting.  But i have outgrown you all. 

Goodbye.

Theres a little naked boy mannequin in the bushes.  Scott's friend wants to adopt him so I used him for decor as one last hoorah.  It is nov 9 and he is still there in the bushes being creepy.  BUT, he is not in the house or basement nor is he allowed back in.  It is up to Scott o actually move him.

Maybe I'll hide him in Bobo's van.

Update- He went to Savage Pizza to hide in the walk-in.  heh heh.  His adoptive parent will pick him up!

BEADS! 2 bins through oct 30

You all know i have been purging the attic.  Well, i had these bins of beads.  I probably should have kept them but really we know i shouldn't.  I brought them up to homegrown for some of the artists to use.  I think the last time i made anything with beads was in about 1996.  There was a store called beads by shoshana or something.  What a long time ago.

Oct 28 candle

While I am planning a wedding I had the mental anguish over wedding favors.  We all get this stuff at weddings and really a lot of it is wasted or unnecessary.  I got hung up on it for a second trying to decide what to do without breaking the bank or making trash.  No one really needs a candle, or a shot glass or another coozie.  I was going to do lip balms from a favoriter crafter Mama Bath and Body here in Decatur.  I thought about match books with cute design.  magnets, pencils with funny sayings, etc.  Well, its mostly not needed and my friend pointed out that if anyone is going to get mad that they did not recieve a dollar trinket, do i really care if they are at my wedding?  I can put the money towards food and drink.  I can keep the budget within reason.  I can apply it to the honeymoon if i want.  Either way we won't end up with a bucket of pencils at the end of the night and a ton of matches.

This candle came from a wedding.  I have no idea who's.  It has been in the drawer for years.  So i lit it and burned it down and got rid of it.  Thanks whoever gave me that!

Oct 26-27

 I should get a boatload of credit because this is a whole bin of crap!  It was in the attic waiting for a yardsale to happen one day.  Well, no yardsale but it can go live at the thrift store until it is properly adopted.  See the cute dog pic on top?  Thats my old girl Lanie.  she was rad.  i got that frame at the thrift store and never really made the pic look good inside.  i never even took the tag off.  There is a cool hot topid purse from years ago, some scarves, glasses, stupid stuff...eh, i dont want it.  Oh, and a pair of jeans.  They are size 16 which is way too generous for me these days.

Through Oct 25- clothes and some placemats!

 Part of me wants to hang on to these but they are cheap enough i can buy them again if i even need them for a craft.  4 placemats in a boring neutral shade.  blech.

 I had a whole stack of these.  one year for Christmas i gave everyone shirts proclaiming how i made people feel.  Yes, i am awesome.

 This was a freebie so it shouldn;t count but the multiples in all the other submissions negate this idea.  it is a strapless white sundress.  why would anyone wear such a thing except to get married?  i thought about dying it but again, why bother because it is strapless.

A stack of scotts shirts.  they are all freebies we've gotten over the years and his shirt stack needed thinning.
