I am in awe of all what you have done this year, Susan, both in terms of decluttering and what you have done by yourself! You certainly have the skills! I know I can paint, but I don't know if I know anything about plastering and applying trim! It sounds like you are going to be busy, next year!

The main work of getting ready for the holidays is done for the most part. I have made more of my gifts this year which has meant giving more time and effort into gifting. After having considered selling my house, I realize that I don't have to collect any more possessions and I have either sold or given away a lot of them. As I have been deep cleaning I have thought of different things I can do by myself to make my surroundings more comfortable. I am not talking about material possessions, but rather some paint, plastering and trim that I can do myself. I have a gift card to Home Depot with which to buy supplies, and if I work slowly away at some things, I know I can do them. <br /><br />If not a lot of money, I do have time and some skills on my side. I should not squander those but put them to better use.
