Happy Undecorating d Friend and d Nancy!
today: making the old cards that pam and peggy used to do for what is in the Christmas boxes. (most are packed)
I think they marked the boxes with a 3 x 5 card -Xmas 1, 2, 3 etc. and then made a 3x5 card Xmas 1, 2, 3 etc. with a basic list of what was inside. -
Many things tossed or recycled: all greenery recycled and other greenery tossed that would not be taken by the city.
I also took pictures of what worked before taking the items down.
I also learned that I can not have anything stored in non plastic boxes - everything has to be in, sealed with duct tape, plastic boxes because of seasonal mice
other goal: as I get rid of Christmas cards and envelopes I will make labels for next year... it's rare that people move -
Next year: cook ahead - I didn't this year for the Christmas holiday - I spent more money on eating out than was reasonable.
