Starting the Great De-Clutter

I listed several more things on ebay today. The angel ornament is the first thing I listed and it has a bid, so it will be sold. Hurray! I also listed several other Christmas ornaments, one of my rosaries, and several items of Royal Albert Autumn Roses china. Now, I'm tired of listing for a bit. I want to quilt or bead tomorrow. I want to create. If that should not happen though, I think I'll do some clearing out of things. Maybe some things to donate or just plain trash. I've still got my fingers crossed for the creating though, that is my first choice.

For those of you who have not noticed it, I've joined the Creative Every Day challenge for 2010. I won't be posting about it every day like I did during the month of November, but if you get curious about what is going on when I'm not talking about it, you can click on the Creative Every Day button on the right hand side of my blog. It will be there all year and there are a lot of folks who are participating in this. I'm sure you'd enjoy seeing some of their creativity. There are optional theme's for each month. January's is "body". We'll just have to wait to see what I do with that.

It's been a good day

And I've enjoyed it. I slept quite late today. Later than I'll admit to. I was up until after 3 a.m. though, so I guess sleeping late on New Year's day is not all that unusual. Although I had not one drop of alcohol last night. I was just up because I wasn't sleepy.

After I did get up, I started reading email and looking over some things on the computer. A bit later, I put a couple of things on etsy and for the first time, listed some things on ebay. Of course, in order to do the listings, I had to take photographs and do some photo editing. Last night was the first time I'd ever reduced photo sizes on my own. Today, I did more of that.

My creativity is bursting forth from all of this. I hope to try to do some other things with my photos in the editing program my hubby has. I've never explored it before. Hope to get to this week. I also want to get more things online, both that I create and that I find around the house that I can part with. It's time to de-clutter my life and my house. To open myself up to more creativity. To get healthy and continue to explore. Those are the wishes I have for myself and for everyone this year.
