• Cure Clock: 8 Weeks Remaining
• Assignment: Re-read pp. 52-69, clean and list repairs
• Flickr Pool: Northwest Fall Cure Pool
Welcome to our Northwest Fall Home Cure! It's time to jump right in, starting with listing all of the needed repairs around your home, big and small. Even if you wont get to the big things, it's important to acknowledge everything in one place. And you might be surprised at how many little, fixable things you're dealing with subconsciously every day. Remember, it's just a list right now.
This is also the week where we set our budget for the rest of the process. We've heard very clearly from many of you that budget is a top concern this season, and we'll do our best to spotlight no- and low-budget ideas every step of the way.

This week you're also going to vacuum and mop your floors, remove one item from your place (the bigger the better!), bring fresh flowers inside, sit for ten minutes in a part of your home that you never sit in, research Earth-friendly cleaning products, decide on a room (if you're taking on the One-Room Remedy), collect pictures of rooms you love, start a style tray and visit your favorite home store for inspiration.
The Week One checklist is on page 54.
Cutemess's bold color choice on her couch makes us want to see more of her style!
Our Flickr pool is where it's at! Coopgirlkiz started a discussion on our Flickr group about your relationship to your home, and I've posted a thread with some just-for-fun photo assignments.

Ok I must need my own cure (head) because I am having the darndest time following these posts. I can't find links to the worksheets that work. I think I am behind before we've even started... not encouraging.
yeah, I'm not following either, it's too confusing. I guess I'll be doing my own thing this year and use flickr.
i posted links to the worksheets (in PDF form) in the flickr pool. they're on rapidshare which was the best place i could find to host. I can email them to you if you need them too, or someone else can host.
I agree with the comments above. Please add a 'fall cure' link next to the 'fall colors' link on the AT home page.
On the positive side, I'm happy to see so many people from the Northwest region signed up! I'm looking foward to seeing everyone's progress...including my own.
