September went by in a flash and
it is October already. Leaves are
changing and falling off the trees and I scarcely remember summer. We had one, right?

In between school activities and
visits with friends I did manage to get a few things done around here. Only a couple of things I didn't get to, but
overall I'm happy with my progress. How
about you? Did you make a list or
accomplish any specific goals you had set for yourself lately? You know I love to hear all about it!
I don't have a list, but your list reminded me I need to mail my son's phone charger to him today. lol He left it while visiting this weekend. I do love your bowl/basket cover that you made.
ReplyDeleteThanks and glad I could help! ;)
DeleteHi Thrifty, I do enjoy your shared lists. I am also a list person, but never thought of sharing my complete list on my blog, which I will do. Thanks for the idea. I stole your method of monthly tracking of grocery expenditure and morphed it a bit with another fellow blogger's (http://www.creativesavv.com/2017/10/september-2017-grocery-spending-journal.html) Check out my blog, if curious: CTonabudget.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI will! :0)
DeleteGreat month! I am going to have to go back to my joy list. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteYes you should Anne! :0)
DeleteI wish lists worked for me...if I write them I lose or ignore them...I'm currently working on the sewing room...selling off excess stash, organizing and cleaning it...an ongoing project that is finally getting near completion...it has long been in the "worse before it gets better stage"...and by sewing room I mean 2 rooms...also going through my parents huge collection of flannel sheets...boy did they love LL Bean...the worn ones are being turned into rags, most of which will go to an animal shelter...
ReplyDeleteYou are making great strides. Sounds to me like you don't really need a list. :)
