Here is my list so far. I’ve just done a superficial sweep, and when I took a box to Goodwill I might have bought a few things while I was there… :-) Actually I found two Rubbermaid containers in perfect condition for only $4 each, so I am using them as my “to sell” and “to donate” boxes.

Remember when I mentioned the food drive our church was doing for Thanksgiving? I had a lot of fun buying food for that, and I turned it in.

I will have to think of some sort of prize for myself if I…
