Conclusion of Room A Week, Bag A Day Challenge

Thought I'd give one final post to wrap up the Room A Week, Bag A Day Challenge.  After purging a whooping 773 pounds of stuff from our house, we had one massive sale.  Here's a few pics...

We had a fantastic turnout and sold over $3,000!  Our T.V. room, which was housing the 773 pounds of stuff went from looking like this...

To This...

                         

Still some work to do as there's ebay stuff hiding behind the couches, but a definite improvement.  I appreciate all the encouragement I received during the challenge.  There were times when I definitely didn't think I could finish a room before the weeks end, but all the comments and inspiration photos from others really helped keep me motivated!  Sometime this next year I hope to do another challenge to help me really refine my home and tackle those few rooms I didn't get to this time around (garage, my outdoor workspace, bathrooms, etc., etc.)  But for now, I'll enjoy my much cleaner, much lighter home.  

Here's a few other holiday updates.  Once the sale was all cleaned up we didn't waste anytime celebrating!  That night me and a few of the little Biggs, headed to California for some fun!  

                         

I love spending time at the ocean...even in the Winter!  We were able to do a photo shoot for Little Biggs 4 senior pictures.  Here's some of my favorites...

We arrived home just in time to host our family Christmas party- (didn't take a single photo!) and then our Christmas Eve dinner the next night.

With all the cash we earned from the sale it was a very Merry Christmas!  Here's a few pics...

Little Biggs 4 loved her one piece pajamas and of course her two person kayak!  

Mr. Right's favorite gift?  A muzzleloader!  

A beautiful King Size headboard was made (by Mr. Right) for Little Biggs 1.  I'll have to post when we get it painted up and installed. 

Little Biggs 2 got an iphone!  

And so did Little Biggs 5.

And Little Biggs 6 went,  "we, we, we" when she received her Zummer Kitty

I'm not sure what happened to Little Biggs 5 pictures, but she and her new husband were given Fit Bits!  

And for me?  I received so many incredible gifts this year.  A fold up wagon for our trips to the zoo, a new Bosch, outdoor slippers (or shoes, as I like to call them), a roku system, a hand drawn picture of a french bulldog from Little Biggs 5 (I hope to have a real one someday), a card organizer (I so needed this as my wallet bulges from store cards, business cards, frequent buyer cards, etc. etc.)  and this handmade sign from Little Biggs 1 and her family

My favorite gift, however, has to be this amazing family I get to be a part of!  I feel very blessed and so grateful!  

I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday and wish everyone a Happy New Year!  I have a BIGG announcement to make next Monday, January 4th- so be sure and stop back by!   

Love, Kelly.
