I love re-cycling old items and so fell in love with this idea

into an expanding file for letters, receipts, and other important documents.

at my newly emptied nest, after 30yrs of having children at home

Somehow never thought of you as old enough for grown up children!

Ohh, I know it is soo hard when they go! Creativity is what saved me, making things has been such a gift.

It's a difficult and emotional transition when they leave and I just have the one left (5 gone) so I know how awful the gap feels. As you might know already, they often come back just when you're getting used to the peace. ;)
Making new plans and having goals is the best way to ease the change I think. Wishing you exciting times ahead Ruthie. :)
