Gorgeous. I love handmade/homemade budget art. Great work and would really be awesome year-round!

Im in the midst of a move from DC to SF, and transitioning from a 4 BR house to a 1 BR apt. I'm beyond excited about getting right of my stuff, but now that I'm living out of boxes its hard to imagine. Yesterday I packed the kitchen and everything except one pan, and one place setting.

I have some furniture and lamps I would love to bring but its just not practical. I feel wasteful for throwing things out but I am donating tons to Sal Army, Goodwill, and a local group, which helps. Still, my family is making it hard to actually get rid of things--they want to either take what we have or store it for us until later, and my MIL actually cried because she "gets so emotional over stuff."

Its been a strange trip to prep for this move and my consumerism has actually made it harder in the long run. But this rambling comment has given me a place to vent and I already feel better... thanks :)
