  1. This is such a great idea. I was just blogging on my blog on how I was tired everything just being so cluttered and not organized.
    So, I too shall post soon on the Ipp's Lenten Cleaning.

  2. hello charlotte. i have read you off and on, but i don't know if i've ever commented. i just wanted to say that this is a great idea. i am seriously de-cluttering myself. but the sewing stuff, which is probably the area where i am the MOST cluttered, is the stuff i have the hardest time parting with.

    and ps. i love those baby quilts you made and for such special mamas. i have a few diff. kinds of toile in just about every color and am so glad they are making baby toile now.

    anyway, take care and happy lenten cleaning! =)

  3. I really like this idea! I want spring cleaning to be part of my Lent but wasn't sure what to do ... Sometimes I'm lucky to just keep up with the day-to-day! I will pray about this and see how I can make this realistic for myself. This post was a nudge in the direction I need to be headed ... Blessings on your day!!
