good for you girl! blessing others is always a blessing. I need to go through my stash too and pass on some blessings, thanks for the encouragement to get culling.
Nice stash busting! It always feels good to pass something lovely on to someone else who will love using it :)
way to go ... so good to reduce and reorganize!
