Simply Altered

but more IS on the way!!!!

I Did my KBOE radio segment this morning,  (and YES, I did wake up in time!!)   

While I was there, talking to Dan, I found out the BAD news  {sigh}   no more Fels Naptha!!!!   He ordered 15 cases, (24 per case) and they were gone the VERY FIRST day!!!  you do the math….that is a whole lot of soap making going on huh???    be thankful if you were a lucky one to get it while it was there…..and for everyone else???   

THERE WILL BE MORE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!    Dan will get it, and assured me, having it for the days of sampling will be no problem.  Whew!!!    

and to think this is an item, they RARELY sold any of????   nothing short of amazing!!!!!  

I will update when it is back in stock…….and don’t forget, the previous post has a challenge you will surely want to get in on!!!!!!!!!!!!  

ok. time to get busy!!!

The relaxing long weekend is over, and it is time to get back to work (literally) and time for a long overdue challenge!!

Do you have a drawer that holds pens / pencils / and a lot of other long items that get missplaced in that same location?    of course you do!!!

The reason for this specific challenge?   I have a sister  (one of 4)  and you know who you are, that is a relatively organized person with a clutter free home.   As I was visiting her one day, I opened her drawer to grab a pen……..WOW!!!   My words were something like “What on EARTH are you thinking?”   and with that, I grabbed about 40 of them and they went right in the trash. !!!!!!    how many pens / pencils are REALLY necessary in one home. , and in one location?   maybe 5 ?  10 tops.    (I think I have about 4)  

So, go to your drawers, (and you may have many different locations)  or desktop pencil holders, WHEREVER you keep them……..and FLING any above and beyond the absolute NECESSARY ones.   You may find that 1/2 of them do not even work anymore, not to mention all the odd ball items that have gravitated to this area!!!!  

Leave a comment when you are done, or let us all know how many you got RID of, or what you found that did NOT belong in this location!!!!!    No contest here, no pressure to find the oddest item, just a friendly challenge to tackle something that each time you look at it, you are thinking “someday I need to clean this out” . 

NOW is the time.       get busy.  

***Random drawing will take place on Thursday for a GREAT freebie (something that goes very nicely with your pen collection {or lack of} ), and I have many many more challenges planned, as well as Simply Wonderful updates, and MANY more frugal tips.  You are gonna love the next one, no matter WHAT your age or WHO lives in your home with you.    {hint hint}   

I will also be doing the radio segment in the morning.  6:30 a.m..  Any bets that I will oversleep????   yikes.
