New Year's Tradition

Happy New Year! It's time to change the calendars and try to remember to write 2009 instead of 2008. It's also time for the New Year's purge! For many years now around New Year's Day, I have been in the mood to organize and purge my home of things we no longer use or want. It started out that I would just go through my closet and craft supplies; now it's spread to the entire house. In fact, yesterday DD voluntarily cleaned, organized and purged her room, and it looks absolutely wonderful! So today, and this may be overly ambitious :-), my goal is to do my room and the dining room, get the Christmas decorations put away, the tree down and out to the curb, and oh yes, I promised DS we would make peanut butter blossom cookies today, too! I'll post later on about my progress.

6:50 pm I have my room done, the Christmas decorations all put away, the tree out to the curb, the ornaments packed away and the living room swept. Might possibly get the dining room done or the cookies, but too tired for both! ;-) There's always tomorrow.....

8:15 pm The last 2 sheets of cookies are in the oven, and part of the dining room is at least picked up. The rest of the cleaning and purging will be on the schedule for tomorrow. Can I hope for the kitchen and bathroom this weekend????
