Woodlands in Xanadu...oh my

Good Sunday evening my Honeysuckle Peeps. Yes, I've been gone two weeks working on my purging talent. Tonight I want to show you X and W.  You will note that W does not have too much layering on it. It was one of the first of the Alphabet ATC cards in the series and was made out of the cover of a Bas Bleu catalogue. I just couldn't help myself when I saw it and thought of the woodlands and all the mysterious things that on go on....

X however was a pretty difficult letter and all I had in my mind was Xanadu - I have no idea where "ancestral voices" came from, however, I believe it may be from the poem. I had several Asian images and decided to go that route.

What have I been doing for two weeks? OMG - yes - OMG - I have been cleaning out my closet. I had clothes from 1997 and 2000 through 2011. Now, I know I am not planning on getting back down to the size I was in my way younger days - and someone else should find some use in them. They were all in good shape. In fact I still have the 1998 dress I bought to wear to my mother's funeral and still wear it to this day. What can I say.... but purge purge purge.

Finally finished it in two weekends and took a good 5 bags to Goodwill.

In the meantime, construction still goes on here at the condos. Larcy and Oliver, pup. came over today to help me take down screens that were damaged and the construction company plans on "rescreening" - See these 9 upper windows - we took down 8 screens! The top four are my two bedrooms and the lower five are kitchen and dining room..... and of course the patio railing....

Me, I plan on playing tennis tomorrow, and, of course, been watching the French Open.....

And then clean and purge in the Chest of Drawers - 5 drawers.....and counting.....

In the meantime, I have just been hanging out, feeling good, and right now sipping my coffee.  Have a good evening! Hugs and all that kind of stuff to you.
