It's that time of year again. You know, time for when I go through my house and find everything candle related and stack it on the Kitchen Table and then count them. I'll then go through what's there - toss the bad - display the good - put it all back. The first time I did this, Krazy Kay had just told me all about "weeding" the inside of my house. And a declutterer was born!
I have some numbers from when I did this project before (2005) and 8 years later (2013)
February 12, 2005 - 78 candles January 2013 - 65 candles
April 1, 2014 - 57 candles
About half of that 57 is small tea lights. I don't have as many candles around the house as I used to. There isn't any downstairs anymore. I think there is more in storage than out and about.
The inventory is down 8 candles from a year ago. I decided last year when I did the candle counting that I would start burning them instead of just having them around. Then I tossed all the really deformed ones and replaced them. No real addition to the 10 thing challenge... but it was nice to see
