    stuff must grow

    If I take a huge tote filled with seasonal clothing and bag up half of it for goodwill, along with another bag of my son's clothes, plus the pile of clothes that's been downstairs for quite sometime waiting to go to goodwill AND maybe another 20 pieces of my own clothes that don't fit and a box full of misc. stuff we never use....shouldn't my house/the spaces in my house look more open?

    Well it is some consolation that I've managed to color coordinate all the clothes hanging in my closet - looks neat and organized.  But I do believe there's a yarn store missing a lot of their inventory (it's in my closet too and I sort of wish they'd come for some of it...i will never knit up all of this)

  • super quick bits and pieces

    i just realized now that its cold - i did not ride my bike once this summer

    i have been knitting more consistently, hoping to finish a project i started three years ago by the end of the month.

    considering a major undertaking

    prayers are needed for my hairdresser's husband

    i am currently reading three different books - with about three more on the back burner. one is lockes.

    okay that's all i have time for. we are swapping out summer things for winter things at the storage unit.

    Kikapaprika

    I recently hosted a Kikapaprika party (my good friend is a consultant)  I love the clothes, they are so comfy.  They have a great hostess incentive going on right now, for only $95 you can order a Host Pack which is a tote bag filled with about $500 in retail products.  I went through the catalog and my product total comes to $525 retail.  I think that I can make at least 9 outfits.  The main colors are garnet and steel blue.  Well I took pictures as I was opening the package....

     

     

    First here’s the bag:

    It’s really hard to lay out all of those clothes….here’s a rundown of what I received:  1)Fleece Pants in garnet, 2)Paige jacket also in Garnet, 3)long sleeve Black Tee, 4)Winter Garden Garnet tank,5) Garnet Versaille Long Sleeve Tee, 6) Steel Blue Versailles Tank, 7)Nouveau Splash Tank, 8)Steel Blue Capris, 9)Steel Blue Meggie (super excited about this one!!), 10)Winter Garden Olivine Elyse, and 11)Steel Blue solid Tank.   11 pieces of clothes!  With this aweseme host pack I wouldn't have needed to order any thing else! LOL!!  Well I think that this host incentive goes until the end of the month and I would highly recommend it!!
