Feeling simple
By Suzanne
This weekend I’ve been embracing my inner minimalist and feeling simple. I am not sure why this happens, but it’s often accompanied by my cleaning the house like a madwoman - the kind of cleaning where I empty drawers and cabinets (which is actually a good thing!), then sit back and wonder how I managed to obtain so much junk in the first place.
I’ve also been “simplifying” my craft room, realizing that I can make things that I’m happy with using roughly a quarter of the stuff that I’ve accumulated over the years, and tonight I felt like making a simple card to go along with my simple mood. This is about as simple as it gets for me: white cardstock, a die, scored lines, and glitter!
Anyway, the highlight of my weekend was eating an almond croissant from Helmut’s Strudel, an Austrian bakery in Rockport, MA. It was the best thing I’ve eaten in a while! Hope your weekend was great too…

I did a house purge in the spring and of my basement in late June. It’s such a great feeling!

After sitting in my hutch for several years, I put a set of FLW replica cups and sandwich plates in the cupboard…why not use them?! And a box of crafty supplies for my granddaughter is all set to go. It’s very gratifying to recycle/upcycle. Have a good week Suzanne
