Thinking about LENT ...

Sarah over at Clover Lane   has a fabulous idea ... certainly not a new one.  She's been doing it for years, but I think this may be my first year to try this.  I'm all about decluttering.  It frees up space, means less future mess (although mess always happens), and it potentially helps give to others who need.
