In this challenge we all post a daily tally of what has left our homes.
We can count by bags or boxes or
we can count by individual items.
Guestimates as to amounts in a bag or box count too.
I would also like to suggest listing some emptional baggage we should toss.

Oh my name was funny because the cursor moved and I did not catch it, I didn't even realize that was me, I came in to see what "that person" said hahaha.

I have trouble on these boards a little, I am used to being able to log in, then the poster's name is already set, and you can preview and edit texts, getting used to it... me and my sloppy typing.

GREAT JOB TODAY Mare! 😀

Your grand total is now 89 🙂

Yeah when I first read the name you put for the list of stuff you posted on here, I wasn't totally sure if it was you or not. But then I had a feeling that it was you; because the name started with "Mare". 😀

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 😀

Thanks Roxie, I am still so happy that those wonderful items will be worn by women that probably don't even recognize the labels!! They will look so great on them, and hopefully they will stand a little taller and smile with confidence!! Roxie, I appreciate all the thought you put into your comments.

Bump. Just wanted to stop by and encourage continued use of this thread for August. But Diane I read on the July thread about your finding an organization that supports women getting ready to get into the workforce, and your wonderful donation to them. I'm so proud of you and you really ought to feel great about that!
