Good morning everyone! :) Are you ready to begin week 2 of my low-spend (or no-spend if you can swing it!) and another decluttering challenge?
This weeks decluttering challenge is the "Family Space" or "common room" Challenge! Somewhere in your home that will benefit the everyone!!!
This weeks *BONUS CHALLENGE* is to send someone a handwritten letter, a card of somekind, a little "treat", or something special, just to let them know you're thinking of them, etc.. but it ***MUST*** go through the MAIL. E-cards, emails, etc... are all "fine & dandy", but they just don't compare to the "real thing"!
*please be sure to post about your bonus challenge, i'd love to read/see what you send! :)
Here's what I chose to tackle this week:
1. My Tupperware cupboard. It "runneth" over and drives everyone crazy every time they open it for something & everything comes tumbling out!!
2. My mess of a mudroom. It always gets so "cluttered" with coats, boots, shoes, etc.. and could use a good organizing.
My budget challenge for this week look looks like this:
1. Put $215 into my gifts savings which will bring me up to $325 of my $560 goal! (If you remember I already dug in & spent $40 on a gently used bike for my daughters birthday in April!)
2. I have $190 for this weeks budget which works out to about $27/day, this may be a challenge as our freezer is very low! I *REALLY* need to stock up on meat for the family again!
3. I have $100 in the budget that i'm "supposed" to use for myself, but I'm not too sure if I will yet. I just bought myself a bunch of fabric, so there's really nothing that I need or want. So I'll tuck this aside for now "just in case".
The rest stays in the bank for bills, etc...
***
So what I need from the participants this week in either one of my challenges is a post with your goals this week along with "before pics" if you're tackling a decluttering challenge! If you've already completed the week 2 challenge & posted stop being a show-off please link that post up! ;) lol! Please be sure to link up to this post if you'd like to be included in this weeks prize draw!
Speaking of prizes... here's what I whipped up for this week! A beautiful brown & turquoise wristlet bag!
*Please note that my daughters camera & camera card are NOT included in the prize. Just the bag. ;)
As you can see, it's a good sized bag! The finished size is 7x5.5". It's lightly padded with a wrist strap so you can carry your point & shoot camera, cell phone, makeup, money, etc...
Good luck this week everyone!! :)
Ok, here's the part where I *try* to insert a linking tool.... *crossing fingers*!!!!
