April 365 Project

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Gail

books_30apr_01This weekend I gathered up 30 books to give away as part of my 365 Project.  My goal is to give away one item a day for the entire year. I find it more convenient to do one entire month at a time than to look for one item each day. I take a photo and make a poster for fun. I also find it easier to stick to one major area. Last month I gave away clothing and this month books.  Continue reading →
