Weekly Goals: January 17-23

I've been KonMari-ing my craft supplies over the past week or so, including going through my card-making materials.  I had pictures that I had printed in 2010.  From a trip in 2009.  So I finally made the 78(!) cards with those.  And now I'm well stocked on regular and Christmas thank-you notes.

Last Week's Goals:

• List at least 5 items on eBay.  I listed 3 Lego sets in one auction, and then 4 kids' dressy outfits.  We'll see if anything sells!
• Read Quiet by Susan Cain.  I have 3 chapters left, which means I'll have to renew it, but I should finish this book this week.
• Do some essential oils research.  Not done, but I did diffuse one of my KidSafe Germ Fighter oils this week.

This Week's Goals:

• Mail a few packages of craft supplies to friends.  As I clear out my stash of stuff, it's a lot easier for me to get rid of things if I can pass them on to people who will use them.  
• Do oatmeal testing for my muffins ebook.  Spoiler: I'm writing an oat flour muffins ebook for recipes like this one.  I want to test quick oats, old fashioned oats, and steel cut oats to see if there's any differences in the amount of oat flour that each makes.
• Start working on the additional content for the muffins book besides the recipes.  I've been really inspired by the free ecourse on becoming a best-selling author by Chandler Bolt (as recommended by Crystal Paine) to get working on this book.  It actually won't take that long to put together other than getting the recipes for sure ready to go (and tested - more about that soon!).  But I can work on the rest of the content now.

What I'm Reading:

• It's Hard Right Now from Modern Mrs. Darcy.
• Order Amazon Prime for only $73 instead of $99 (until the end of today only for new accounts - we switched from my email to Jesse's with no issues, which was perfect since ours was set to expire in 2 weeks) - as recommended by Money Saving Mom.
• Iron Craft 2016 Challenge #1: Fifth Anniversary from Just Crafty Enough.  I always wait until the last minute to start my projects for these challenges, but I'm hoping I'll have something to share on Tuesday, when the first challenge is done.
