    Made the beeswax wraps this weekend. Here is one wrapping up half a cabbage.

    I see what doing a little something everyday can do! I planning on continuing this practice after this challenge is over. Hopefully a new habit has been formed.

    I live in an apartment and noticed many catalogs going directly into the trash. I setup a box for folks to throw their unwanted catalogs, offering to unsubscribe them from the mailings! This will save a lot of extra paper!!!

    It's been good to have this challenge--I met new neighbors but it also spurred me to say hi to the people I've been seeing around a lot lately. Good stuff!  And with a couple community events on my calendar and now being signed up for a litter-pickup group in the area, I'd say it's a lasting impact for the good.

    This year's challenge really has been a challenge for me!! I pledged to be outside an extra half hour per day. When I decided on that particular challenge it was mainly because I had already incorporated many of the other options into my life, and I am not outdoors as much as I'd like to be. However I had counted on our usual beautiful Fall...
