40 Days

Today is the beginning of Lent for Christians around the world.  The season of Lent is the 40 days before Easter (not including Sundays).  Some people give things up for the season of Lent while others may do something special for themselves or others.

A few years ago, I tried doing something called 40 Bags in 40 Days which was a way of decluttering your home.  You are suppose to clean/go through your home and each day of Lent get rid of a bag/box of items by either tossing or donating.  I’m not sure I got all 40 bags but I did make a dent in all of the clutter in my home.  Of course, that was a few years ago and I really should start the process again!

You may remember that last year I tried 40 Cards in 40 Days.  My goal was to send out 40 cards during Lent.  I can’t remember if I got all 40 out but I think I came close.

I may try both of these ideas this year as my home needs decluttering again, but I also want to try to post 40 cards/projects.  Each day during Lent I want to share a card/project with you on my Facebook page.  I hope to make most of them but will also share cards/projects I’ve received in swaps or just a lovely project that I’ve seen online.  Be sure to check out my Facebook page every day (except Sundays) this Lenten season to see what projects I’ll be sharing!

What are you going to do during Lent?  Declutter?  Send cards?  Or maybe commit to trying to make a project a day?  Whatever you choose, give it your best shot!  You’ve got this!
