Quilt Squares, Purging & Stuff...

So on Saturday I received our very first 100 Wishes Quilt Square and yesterday I received #2!!! I will be starting a blog that shows a picture of every single piece & wish we receive. I can't wait to see what others send us too!

I am also undertaking the tedious task of purging!!! Not the kind you do with food, but the kind you do with STUFF!!! I could never purge food - I love it too much and that's why I'm still about 30-40 lbs overweight. Granted that's better than 60+ lbs I used to be. We are having a MASSIVE garage sale next Saturday and the name brand clothes still new with tags, and other name brand things that were never used will be auctioned on Ebay. Call me a little selfish, but I can get more money for these items on Ebay. It's so sad when you buy $150.00 Liz Claiborne spring coats and you never wear them!! Oh well, my loss will be someone else's gain, but it will be out of my hair. I think we are going to use the money to go towards something with our adoption. Whether it be adoption expenses or buying things Emilija will need - like her bedding from PBK. So if you know anyone in the greater Little Rock area, send them to our house next Saturday! But it feels great to be getting rid of this stuff!

So the other stuff is we have planted a container garden. Nothing much, just a tomato plant, some jalapeno plants & a habanero plant, strawberries & some herbs (dill, basil & thyme). It looks nice on our patio and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor! I've also decided to start a blog all about Eriks, our 3 year old. That way he has his own little space on the web. Three year olds can be pretty funny and Eriks has some good stories to tell sometimes!

I love cleaning out and getting rid of stuff it makes me feel so good. We are about to hit the toybox again as Lily has a birthday coming up.

I LURVE Pottery Barn Kids too. I have been receiving all sorts of deliveries from them lately and I still want more. LOL

I have 4 quilt squares for Emilija. One from Corey, me, Laila, and Taylor. I couldn't decide on just 2. If you want to choose the 2 you like best, that's fine. I just have to write out my wish, wash them, then cut and send to you.
