Wilderness Quilter

Well, I’m finally back at it!  I boxed up 33 books today and they’re going to the local 2nd hand book store.  What a relief!  I’ve been gone so much the past 4 months that I hadn’t made any more progress toward getting rid of 100 things.  Of course, it would have been to my advantage to count the books as 33 items instead of 1 group but my goal is to eliminate as much stuff as possible so . . . 

I also found a cool book swap site - http://www.titletrader.com.  So I actually have several more books hopefully destined for other homes soon.  But if I then get a book in return, I guess it doesn’t really count, right?  So I won’t add those books to my 100 Things Challenge list.  Anyway, I’m feeling like a success as I already had my first request.  And I feel good about being able to send good condition books that I no longer need to folks who really want them – and it’s all free except for the cost of postage when you send a book out.

Just realized I have another 7 books set aside to give to various family members so I guess I’d better add those to the list.  Now I Just need to decide if I’m going to count it as 1 group or bump my numbers up by counting each book separately – hmm.
