Seriously, I am not sure how I missed it, but look what TypePad just told me. My last post was my 300th. Wow. I can hardly believe it. So I guess a celebration is in order, don't you agree? I am thinking a giveaway. Hmm, what could I giveaway? I know, a patchwork belt made special for the lucky winner out of Anna Griffin's Darcey line of fabric. Since the subject of my 300th post was Spring cleaning, to enter please comment and share what is on your Spring cleaning to do list. Are you working on your pantry too? Doing yard work? Cleaning out your basement? Let me know. I will pick a random comment Monday April 27th and announce a winner.
And thank you for all your support over the past few years. I appreciate all the comments and can't believe the friendships, inspiration and motivation that have come out of this amazing community. You are all amazing!
dammit. how did I miss this contest?!!!
congrats on your post, my friend. :)

We are having a tidy of the children's bookshelves this weekend. I have a feeling some of their old books may be packed carefully away and labelled this weekend and the next time they see light will be for my grandchildren - what a thought!

Must clean the sewing desk, now that my stash is organized.

The spring cleaning list is so long and a bit depressing! But today is a lovely day, at last, and I am working outside in the flower beds with the warmth of the sun on my back . . . so life is good!
Love your blog! Congrats on 301!

Congratulations on your 300th post! :)
I cleaned out the porch last week and next came my clothes closet. I have no problem parting with winter clothes on a warm Spring day!
This week there's been garden and yard cleanup. I'm hoping to get to the windows in the next month which are my least favorite thing to do.

Yes, my pantry needs cleaned, actually it needs a complete makeover, but I'm so unmotivated. Spring cleaning---this coming weekend---probably the windows.

I've been planning to have a garage sale for the past 3 years... this year it will happen! Since the 'to sell' pile has grown too big to ignore!

Hmmm, I'd have to start my spring cleaning with my sewing room/office. It's so bad that I've just moved to the dining room to craft and now that's a mess.

Easter weekend I did the top priority spring cleaning - my storage locker, my take away containers slash tupperware and my pantry. It felt great. On the maybe to-do list is my closet (ugh) and my dining room cabinets - used to hold vases and spare dishes on display and anything (propane tanks for the mini bbq on the balcony, spare pots and pans, planting tools, candles) in closed cupboards below.

Congrats on the 300!
Let's see, I cleaned and organized my craft supplies. I did my pantry, but then I stopped short of my walk in closet which is really the pits. Maybe in May.

Spring cleaning, eh? Well, I generally try to avoid all things cleaning, but I do need to get the leaves out of my flowerbeds and add some new mulch.

thank you for all your inspiration. we are moving and currently living with my inlaws I want to organize so bad its killing me.. but most is in crazy boxes (we packed in a hurry). I did sort my recent scraps by color last night though!

My spring cleaning list includes my sewing room and the basement. Yikes.
thanks for the giveaway and congrats on your 301st post.

we splurged this year and had someone come in and do the spring cleaning for us. Since I'm working full-time and my husband is a full-time student, things just weren't going to get done - it was wondeful! They cleaned things I never would have even thought of. And it definitely left more time for quilting! Thanks for your great blog...
Posted by: Gretchen | April 21, 2009 at 06:40 PM
What is NOT on my list? Lol. I'm working in my craft room right now.. I can't create when this room is a mess, so that's Priority #1 :)

My spring cleaning is already done - cleaning up my fabric stash (http://www.haveyoumetus.net/michelle/blog/?p=434)... plus we did a deep clean of our apt before my SIL came to visit - including windows!
