whimsical wednesday

a guessing game for whimsical wednesday! look around your house.  stop at a drawer, box, closet, any space or container that you haven't peeked into for quite some time.  before looking inside think of what might be inside. were you correct? totally surprised? something you've been looking for and forgot where it was? looked at it and thought, "why did i keep that?"  share the results of your experience with the whimsey project.

i did my looking before posting so i could share my results here.  i looked in 6 containers because i got carried away:
*large box lid: wrapping paper and related items.  i was correct in my guess as to what was inside.
*shoe box: mementos of all sorts. this peek was a huge surprise as i didn't remember at all what was      inside.
*box: cross stitch supplies. this was also a surprise as i didn't remember what was in this box.
*shoe box: envelopes.  i guess this one correctly.
*plastic bag: old calendars and daily planners.  i was half correct in guessing what was in the bag.
*basket: old clothes and stuff that don't belong in a basket such as a baking pan! i wonder why i kept    any of the stuff in this basket. my thought is i put it in the basket to go through for decision making;    keep, donate, discard.  it's time i did!
