I have been working hard to clean and declutter. Anyone else? There I was, on an absolute roll, and then-the inevitable happens. I come across some 'things'.
What 'things'? It's something I've either written down, like a recipe, or an odd purchase from the past like the silicon mold I bought long ago for a use I may have one day. What am I to do with these 'things'? I most likely should just trash them because I didn't use them. But oh, how I want to use to them!
Running across a myriad of these little items here and there caused me to go into ADD overload. ADD overload means I hit up Pinterest. I began planning my garden in ice cold January, and then it hit me.
All these pins and they are just sitting there. More mind clutter if not physical clutter. So, I am challenging myself to actually DO some of the pins. And now, I'm challenging you too! Join me! Pick a 'pin' and do it. Post your results!
The first pin I tried was the bath bomb fizzies. I had to order some ingredients that I'd never heard of, then make a pretty substantial (although easily cleaned up) mess in order to make a few bath fizzies. They were pretty much a fail, but that is (I think) because the mold was so intricate. You need to do these with a fairly plain mold. Here's how they turned out:
I was going to give them out as gifts at my sons Eagle ceremony, but since they didn't turn out right, I used one myself tonight. It was really nice! I'm planning to make more--with a different mold.
Lessons learned on this one:
1) Use more colorant.
2) Do NOT spill the essential oil. It will make you ill with the smell.
Now it's YOUR TURN. Pick a pin and go for it! If nothing else, you may find some pin links that simply lead to a page that is no longer working. In that case, hit EDIT and then DELETE PIN. Boom, you've just decluttered!
As for me, I need to return to planning my garden.....
