Yes loads went in the bins. Yes loads more in the charity shop bags and just a little back into my stash but do I feel better for it. No! I feel bereft. I want it all back. I liked my messy hoarded space not this having to trudge across an empty room for 5 miles to get to an equally empty desk. hugs Mrs A.

I had to laugh when further down your post your tub had duplicated itself - lol. I think we crafters are all guilty of 'hoarding', but it's so cleansing mentally when we get to sort and dispose of some of it.

I remember when I first learned the word and meaning thinking what a nice way to say hoarding, clutter etc. LOL But like you, we need the stuff to create with and one never knows when we will need it. Bits and bobs and other stuff to design. I have bins and drawers and totes full. LOL<br />I just went through lots of my stuff recently and it feels so good to have things straight. I have to do this ever so often or it gets crazy.<br />Have a wonderful evening and Happy Creating with ephemera!!<br />Hugs, CMCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-57841277174770336022015-02-10T09:50:09.950-08:002015-02-10T09:50:09.950-08:00Oh boy Sherry I can relate to this.

But I see the creative possibilities in everything and that makes it hard for him to understand as he is not creative. Perhaps that's the opposites in us attracting each other? I know I need to sort and purge things too, but it can wait until I am in the mood to tackle it.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-85967624084342893882015-02-10T07:00:28.605-08:002015-02-10T07:00:28.605-08:00Oh I admire your efforts!

But when you love paper, images, and little bits of things (and use it often in creative work), it just has to be. But still, you'll have far better access and sense of what you have to use now. So well done.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-54081498752923186072015-02-10T06:20:40.318-08:002015-02-10T06:20:40.318-08:00My name is Debbie and I am a hoarder.....may as we...My name is Debbie and I am a hoarder.....may as well admit it!<br />Good for you, for going through it all and having a good clear out.

We all call it something different but I think at the end it all boils down to hoarding. I know I hoard and my room needs alot of purging, but I tell my husband I feel sometimes like I am going to run out of something and that is why I can't let it go. I have been pretty good and taking some of the things to the scrap store to sell. That has motivated to keep getting rid of more and with the credit buy some of the things I normally would not buy, like dies that are super expensive. Enjoy the little rain you have been having and hope more is on its way. We have had rain all day today on and off.
