Hi, Books can bury you-I used to collect cookbooks and must have well over 1000 scattered throughout my house! (eBay, eBay, eBay!) This site helps you keep motivated. This week has been a total waste for me as I am running a theme tray fundraiser at my dd's middle school and it has gotten way out of hand. Today is the day and this weekend, I am not even answering my phone!!! I need to put my Christmas Village away and regain my dining room-that is my main task. Also, re-catch-up on the laundry. I was so caught up at one point and now I have fallen behind. But I plan to use the site to continue to receive encouragement. It can be done and I am determined. I wish I had all the hours I put in on this fundraiser, but if it turns out ok it will have been worth it. As of this moment tho' I am just nervous! Good Luck in your journey!
