Decluttering of a Different Kind and FREEBIE Reminder

A designer friend of mine, who retired from designing, pointed me to this blog, 365 Less Things.  This is a decluttering challenge with the idea of getting rid of one item per day through the year.  So, I've decided to take the challenge as my 365 project for 2012! 

Today being a day of rest, I took a different approach to the challenge!  I think you will like my decluttering today!

Make sure you check yesterday's post for the FREE Template!  It will probably be gone by Thursday!  Pass the word!

Here's today's declutter page.  I used my "Love, the Greatest of These" page kit.

Thanks for stopping by Today!  Scrap those memories before they fade away!
