That sounds like a fantastic trade. I do have a few left and would be happy to send you one! Will email you for the details.

Hi Mel
Just catching up on some blog reading and came across this post. I find this one hard to do too. I struggle with letting go of things and as a result…I have too much clutter! I just cleaned out two kitchen cabinets the other day and it was so freeing! But I have certain things from my Africa trips that I don’t want to let go of and yet…I will never use them. So I’ve been trying to tell myself that the memories will stay with me even if the items don’t. This was a good confirmation on that Thanks for the push!
And…if you still have any left, I’d love a sarong. I only have one and it is so old that it’s pitiful. (But if they are all claimed, no prob!) But I propose a trade…you send me a sarong and I’ll gift you the kindle version of my novel, Where the Pink Houses Are…sound good? (If you don’t have an eReader…we’ll work something out 😉 Send me an email…let me know!

You’ll have to let me know how close you come! You might get the first name, but the middle might be harder…

Yep, it’s yours. That one I’ve used a little, but it’s still in great shape. Hope you’re doing well, too! Looking forward to the arrival of little L…I’m totally predicting names in my head. 😀

I know you already gave me one a while back, but since I’ve switched swimsuits it doesn’t match anymore! Can I have the one on the bottom all the way to the right? Blue and brown? Thanks! Hope you are doing well!

I have several left and would love to send you one! I picked out the white one with green flowers…it’s one of my favorites. (I actually kept the black and green version of it as one of my favorite-favorites. :)) Can you do me a favor and email your street address? mel at barefootmel dot com.

I heard one of the moms at Bible study talk about taking pictures of her kids’ artwork and printing them out in Shutterfly books. I LOVE that idea…a way to actually preserve their art without a billion stacks of paper. Mae’s already starting to create masterpieces, so I’d better get on that! 😉

Hey, that is amazing. I just did a soul training exercise where we had to pass 5 things onto somebody. Harder than you think, but it feels good. If you have any sarongs left. I’ll take one – doesn’t matter which one. I would just love to have something from Indonesia.

We should plan coffee and sarong-exchange sometime. I’m gonna be a bachelorette this weekend.
