7 Items, 7 Days, 7 Months - Day 10

7-7-7 Challenge / Day 10

I broke the bank today with all the items.  Man, I was on some kind of roll and kept finding more and more things!  I don't know.  Does that ever happen to you?

There are some hidden gems in today's pile of goodies.

7-7-7 Challenge / Day 10

Today's 7-7-7 Challenge items consist of, but not inclusive:

  1. Shape-able Straw Hat
  2. To-Go Coffee Mugs
  3. Deep-Sea Dive Flashlight
  4. Flower-Drying Crystals
  5. Traveling CD Cover
  6. Bible
  7. Books
We thought that with everything we were donating, a Bible might be something someone out there is needing at this very moment.

I'm not really sure if there is method to today's pile of items that were donated to our local charity but it was a lot of fun.  I felt really light when DH suggested that we add the Bible.  Isn't that totally cool of him?  Now, why didn't I think of that?  lol

I feel so inspired about today's efforts that I'm going to make some healthy granola bars!

P.S.,  How did you do today?  Whether you came up with 7 items, 7 piles, or nothing, please share your thoughts with us.

      Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on today's post. I never would have thought about donating a Bible either, thank goodness for DH. It was solely his idea and I'm blessed to have him in my life.

      Hope you're having a great day too! :)

A Beautiful Thrift Store Wedding

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" Your wedding day is a reflection of you and the life you live.  You are intelligent and savvy.  You could take the easy road and buy everything but you want your day to be personal and one that you along with everyone else will remember. While you are creating a day that will be forever memorable, how about taking a trip down a local thrift store aisle.  Put on your DIY hat and see all the possibilities.  Thinking about things that will work during and after the wedding will save time, money, and waste.  What wedding decorations will also work in your home?  What wedding favors can also handle double duty as table decoration? Speaking of double duty and personalization, why not have your wedding party visit the thrift store with you and choose their own dress while helping you find a gown of your own.  Each dress will be unique and showcase personality as well as accentuate the positives.  These will
