An update, including picture!

April project update: April ended with me aaaalmost finished with the box in the bathroom. To be honest I'm going to leave that last little bit until we've used up a few things and I can use the extra room it creates to sort through that bit properly. The huge majority of stuff is now sorted into different bags ready for using.

IN (thank you to decision to go to craft and kitchen gadgets stores mostly):

1 x leave in conditioner (unusual one for me, decided it was probably needed but not a necessity)
thank goodness e-books aren’t being counted (at least I’m not)
1 x sheet mountboard (yes, more, I have more projects)
2 x sheets plastic ‘sewing fabric’
1 x pack jewellery findings
1 x hank of black cotton (friendship bracelet project, using other colours up, discovered a need for black)
1 x organiser thing for shelves
1 x picture frame

OUT:

1 x Bag full of things from bathroom (mostly packaging/old containers from presents of toiletries)
3 x broken pegs
4 x pairs pants
20 x magazines (actually this was mum, but it cheered me up)
1 x mini bottle (now empty moisturiser, I’m on project use-up)

Used up:
moisturiser, 4+ hanks thread, started on some soap, more moisturiser, some shampoo, bath bubbles, various other bathroom/beauty type things.

Old total: 307 down
New total: 328 items down

Also, for anyone interested, the camp blanket I talked about last time, here's a pic:


I only sewed on about 30 or so of the badges in the last batch, I've been collecting for a good few years now.

Congrats on the progress in April! And your camp blanket is so cool! Do you collect old scouting badges and that sort of thing?

[angelbabe_cj]

Thanks. :) I love my blanket, and I'm also impressed with my progress.

I started out with my own Guide and Brownie badges, now I collect them from camps, events, and even some attractions do them now (see Cadbury World).

Most are either ones earned by me from a badge or event, or bought by a friend from their events (I have a couple who I exchange with).

A few I've just plain bought from eBay etc. because I liked them.

I don't collect seriously in the sense where I go all out looking for them, but from events and so on I'll grab what I can get. It's kind of scary thinking about how much that thing is worth if I added up all of the badge costs, never mind that some of them were limited runs.

....You wouldn't be interested in someone else's old Girl Scout badges, would you?

[angelbabe_cj]

*squeak*
Oh, I totally would, if you don't mind sending them to the UK.

I've not seen too many badges from other countries regularly. I'd love them.

Thank you for offering.

Yay, I can get rid of something! I saw them recently when going through my stuff at my parents' house, and didn't really feel a need to keep them, but didn't want to just trash them, and wasn't sure what else to do. Send me a PM with your address!

Oh! How about some Canadian Scouting badges?

See the excited squeak and your inbox in a few minutes.

In other words, yes please!
