Starting Over for 2011

There has been a lot going on this year, but I'm working on getting back on track. The 2011 HGP starts August 28th. I'm also semi-following Christmas Clutter Countdown, which begins (I think) August 15th.
Over the past few months I have partially followed the Grand Plan, and also made some major changes to my house. I've had a porch built, and added several storage pieces to replace a mish mash of open shelving, and therefore hiding a large percentage of the clutter. I haven't done as well at getting rid of the clutter, but at least it' better contained! :)
I've planned in past years to keep up with thi blog and track my progresss. Once again, that is my plan, and I hope this is the year I succeed!

I have 8 days until CCC starts, and another 14 after that before HGP starts. I'm not quite sure yet how I will blend them, but I have time to work that out too. For now, all my major "projects" are done. I'm down to basic cleaning. There are some things to go to the barn that I'll need help with; and a large extremely heavy TV to take to the thrift shop, which I'll also need help with. I also have some small things ... pictures, shelves to hang, clean the porch, change out the red/white/blue decorations. I plan to get those small things done, and give the house a good all over cleaning by the time CCC starts.

When the plans start, I plan --HOPE-- to keep up with tracking how well I do. In years past I've only partly followed, so this year I plan to follow it all. Wish me luck! LOL!
