Okay, I guess that doesn't sound all that impressive - 12 kids quilts in four months? I should be able to go faster than that!

Sewing for Good Sunday
If I keep this pace up I might just have all these quilts done by the end of next month.

Cruise Tips
Is there a topic you'd like to know more about? Let me know and you may just see it covered here! How about any questions about cruising or Princess Cruises? Just ask!
Looking for more cruising information?
Take a look at what else you can find here at Deb's Days!
5 Things to Pack for a Cruise
1. Magnet. Did you know the walls in your cabin are magnetic? A magnetic clip, like a big chip clip, can be placed on the wall and used as a bulletin board area. The clip can be a good place to put all the papers that will be delivered to the cabin each day. The daily paper, the invitations to the art auction and health seminar, the ads for the boutiques and spa specials can be organized on the wall instead of strewn about the desk.
2. Highlighter. Each day a printed schedule of the activities happening around the ship is delivered to the cabin. A highlighter allows passengers to mark those activities they don’t want to miss. Each member of the family can use a different color on the same schedule. Or ask your steward for extra copies and each person can have their own schedule and mark it up.
4. Packing Cubes. With the number of outfits needed for a cruise – formal wear, resort casual wear, swimwear – not to mention regular day-to-day clothes, suitcases get filled up fast. Rolling clothes and putting them into packing cubes leaves space left over in the suitcase for bringing home souvenirs. You’d be surprised how much you can fit in those things.
They even make it easy for unpacking. Actually, it's more like not unpacking - we just unzip them, fold back the top, and leave them in the drawers. Super duper easy and convenient. We've used the eBags brand for quite a while and they haven't had as much as a rip or broken zipper. Easy to wash and easy to use!
We use multiple sizes and we each have our own colors (me-pink, hubby-green). They have a ton of colors and sizes to choose from. Take a look:

The Friday 15
I seriously found 15 more items to get rid of? Heck, yeah. That makes almost three straight months of sending off 15+ items per week. Add that to all the Friday 15s I did last year and I'm getting pretty darn good at this downsizing thing.
