The next year I can't distinguish between two red penstemons and have no tags to show for it. <br /><br />@Karin - I've been avoiding the Pinterest vortex, but I think I've been sucked in. Happy pinning!<br /><br />@Claudia - A lot of my friends give me gift cards to nurseries and I used to be able to recall who gave me what, but not so much anymore. This will be a good way to record those gift card purchases. <br /><br />@Dewi - Here's to hoping that there will be lots of decluttering this year!GirlSprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029711241687325640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318772798318990624.post-3918939110556575802012-01-13T20:54:13.366-07:002012-01-13T20:54:13.366-07:00I absolutely love the January clean out photo mont...I absolutely love the January clean out photo month idea. <br />I have a pretty simple life.
