I'm laughing and "spooked" because I cannot BELIEVE what I just watched!! It was like watching EXACTLY what is going on presently and for at least a year; in MY life!!!😐😑 I have a VERY BAD ADDICTION to PAPER, stickers, journals, pens (huge collection, ALL kinds), markers, coloring books, rubber stamping, (since 1990), I make cards, I buy cards,make my own ephemera so have ALL kinds of bits of junk mail, wrapping paper,doilies, hundreds of trims, lace...etc,etc. Probably50 times what you have. I DON'T say that BRAGGING. It took a long time, but came to realize it is sinful and over indulged, wasted money. I am continually reorganizing, pitching, donating, giving away for free soooo much stuff and much of it brand new. I am ashamed and OVERWHELMED, way OVERWHELM ED! I do not have time to craft, journal,create cards and make junk journals,etc because of the time I spend doing the above. I use to have a craft room in my old house, but for 7 yrs. now have lived in a small 1 bdrm. apt. Half my livingrm. is my craft rm. I came to much sobering truth and have worked hard in the past yr to rectify. Have made alot of progress, but still more to go. I have poor health and chronic daily pain for 20 + yrs.(24/7). Having had a very bad health and pain yr., I came to the decision that I had to have only 3 or so permanent hobbie/ interests. I also have approximately 200 unread bks. here. SO... I will read, keep up my journals ( personal, quote, blessing) make cards as my pain permits and color, and just started collaging. Not every day,only using what I have left. Way too overwhelming and my health does not permit anymore. I HAVE to be realistic now ( UGH!!). Adopting truly is hard and PAPER truly his an addiction for me; or as I sometimes say: " I have paper lust." EEEK! We have SO MUCH in common and I am glad I found your channel.😊😀😁. Thanks for this video.
Oh my goodness! First of all- thank you for your thoughtful comment 💖 I am sorry you are dealing with Chronic pain and what should be your escape has turned into a burden! As you also saw in this video I understand what it is like to have so much of it that you don't even use it! So glad we both are downsizing and cheers to us both being more creative in the future 💖
P.S. was supposed to say.. ADULTING is hard, NOT adopting.
Great transformation of your craft area. Decluttering i love doing.
Thank you! It was SUCH a task, but so glad it is done!
