  • This is part 3 of the enormous task of organizing Mira's scrapbook room. If you haven't seen part 1 or 2, you can find those here:

    This video with cover days 5 and 6 of working on the scrapbook room, where we finally "finish." There is still a lot to do, but it is now a more open, decluttered, and organized space than it was before and Mira can finally use this room as it was meant to be used instead of hauling everything to her kitchen table to work on a project.
    Thanks for joining us on this Scrapbook Room series!

    Mira could use the money from selling the scrap book stuff to buy herself a Berkey water filter. She would save so much money in the long run, reduce so much plastic use and still have clean drinking water!

    It is my opinion that collecting art supplies and using them are two completely different hobbies. It looked to me like she tried to be organized but her supply-collecting hobby got ahead of her supply-using hobby. LOL Great job helping her get organized. Now she can actually spend time making things.

      I am guilty of buying art supplies especially if I find them on sale! I have a BASKETFUL of different size sketch pads! Sheesh! I am acutely aware of it now and have been working on replacing my "hobby" of shopping with my "hobby" of drawing /painting!

    • @terryhenderson424
      @terryhenderson424 9 днів тому +3

      ​@@LB-ht1qkYes, there comes a time to look at the "stuff" you own and make using it an emphasis. It could be sketch books or any other category of supply/ material in which ever craft(s) you do. When using up stash, I give myself permission to do projects that have absolutely no use or purpose in my life. I either gift this stuff to those I know or to a charitable type organization (Christmas gift drives and requests from the community are great for this.)

    I truly believe people need to not judge other people by what they spend their money on unless they see people or animals going hungry or in need of something in the home. It's nobody's business and this her joy-the things that make her happy and proud so please stop giving unsoliciated opinions and notice how happy Mira and her fur babies are.

      I think scolding the individual is not the solution, but I do think we should be free to speak up about excessive overconsumption like this in general, because it is destroying the world we live in. Which means not harassing people when they are already making changes to their habits and bettering themselves.
      We can't do anything about things that are already bought, so that is a moot point. It's better if no new supplies come in and you use what you have in that case.

    Once your room is all organized you will be the happiest scrapper on the planet!!! Great accomplishment! I’m happy for you! My scrap table gets out of control sometimes…the best organization tip for me is that after every layout I create, I put all tools,etc back in place. It saves time trying to find everything making the next project.

    Put some of the bags in your car! That’s when I use them. And see if a teacher wants them. We have to send things home with students without backpacks or needing additional carrying space. Many Title 1 schools send food home with students and could use bags. Same with food pantries.

    Your generosity is endless - your wish to help people gives me faith in humanity. You spent - how much was that - over sixty maybe closer to eighty hours of hard hard work - back bent - going through someone's else's emotional back-log to help them move forward and do things in their life which they love. You are such a good person - you did an amazing job. A job which would have cost far above $25k - just to have people come in and shovel things into a skip would have cost that - but to sit and put hundreds of thousands of items together to enable the homeowner to sort through them - then to put those into some organisation - there is no cost for that - there's no one who wouldn't put such a high price on that service that it would be completely out of reach for all. You did an amazing job - bless you!

    She is doing great... but I wonder if she has checked to see if any or many of her supplies have expired... I found that out the hard way. Stickers, paint, gelatos, inks, refills, enamel dots and so on, expires. For stickers, adhesive chipboard, or embellishments, the adhesive gets old and no longer is usable... or worse, the items get a weird smell or coating on it, due the plastic content or container...

    Bonnie you are SO good at sorting all this small stuff. And it was very satisfying to watch once the pile in the middle of the room started to shrink a bit. It was a bit scary at first! I think Mira should take stall at a scrap booking exhibition and sell some of it. Not to get rid of it, but because I think she'd love talking to everyone browsing her collection of items for sale and making the sales. She obviously loves the "items" needed to do this hobby and she's experienced so much of it that she it probably pretty much expert. It's a shame not to share that knowledge and love. Anyway, she probably couldn't think of anything worse, but in my mind I have her sat behind her pretty stall at a craft sale. 😃
    I wish I could beam you up and drop you into my utility room or spare room and shut the door. I'd throw in treats and snacks from time to time and abracadabra! They would be sorted without the pain.
    Yesterday I spent all day at my mum's old home. I'm in the final stages of the clearance for sale (we now have a buyer so I have to speed up) and I admit that the end stage of clearing a home of 65 years, a house I was actually born in, is getting very hard for me. I was fine earlier on with the bulk of the clutter and possessions. But now, I'm down to the nitty gritty and I just don't know what to do with it. I am fighting myself hard all the time not to bring it home. So it's dad's tool box with some very old tools in it. But I have my own tool boxes with my own tools in. I don't need more. I spent a lot of time yesterday sitting stressing or turning in literal circles with bin bags or boxes in my hands. I think it's the hardest thing I've done and I've done it alone. There is no cheery company to talk too. I now have a man lined up to come and take the furniture and all the contents of the garage away as soon as I book him. But I have to finish getting rid of the smaller stuff too because I know I won't do well in the house on my own when it's totally empty. I'm having to try to keep the garden tidy too and this spring has been so wet that vegetation is growing like crazy.
    All in all I'm stressed by it. I watch your videos and gain some calm back. But I finished this one at 6:30am because I suddenly bolted awake from sleep with anxiety running high and I needed to escape it if I could. Thank you Bonnie, I might try for another hour in bed now.

      I wish you could beam me up and drop me there to help you as well. Sounds like you could use a hand! And I will happily run on treats and snacks! 😁
      That's got to be really difficult getting down to all of the little things. Probably a lot of memories. I know, when my parents moved from the house I grew up in, it was really hard to know that I wouldn't be able to visit the home I grew up in. And they only I lived there for 32 or 33 years, so about half the time you're mum lived in hers, so I can only imagine how difficult that must be, and especially if you are tackling that on your own. I'm happy to know that my videos bring you a little sense of calm...except for the hoarder house, but we won't talk about that, haha!
      Good luck to you and getting the rest cleared out and getting it sold. It's hard to end those long chapters of your life. I'll be thinking of you!🙏💕

    Thank you for this! I can completely relate to Mira. People judge because they see the “mess” however this is YEARS of accumulation and collecting. My basement looks similar. I can still create, just like Mira still creates, amongst the chaos. It happens. It’s embarrassing. It creates so much anxiety, sometimes one can’t sleep. I have utilized some of your sorting techniques & made a dent in one corner today. I kept focus on that one area. Then I walked away. I feel amazing. Is it still overwhelming….you bet. But little by little, I will chop away. This has inspired me more than you know. Thank you!! New subbie.

    Poor baby Colt , he has a memory of a traumatic situation. I have a rescued cat that I got as a kitten. He runs at the sight of blankets; plastic bags, bags, towels. I think he remembers being captured as a feral kitten. Every time I walk into the room with one of those objects; I talk calmly to him so he is not traumatized. He's slowly learning these things are not a threat! You did the right thing removing it! Thank you for understanding his feelings! 🥰 I think Mira is going to have to gift a lot of that away or make bundles and sell them on Ebay, garage sales. That is a HUGE collection!

    I kept 2 bags 2 go 2 crops, the rest purged. My supplies have outgrown small storage. I recommend using post it notes as temporary labels, because u end up moving stuff around until u see what space works best 4ur supplies. Once u find where u want it use tags & labeler. I made some and ordered some plastic hanging ones from the Zon.
    Btw, I'm 63, retired, no children, 1 dog & 2 cats. I have a papercrafting room & small sewing room well supplied. I have more paper than I could use in 2 lifestyles, but it's organized. I've worked hard my entire life and I enjoy spending & giving my $$$ as I see fit. No judgement here!

    As a scrapbooker, I enjoyed watching this series. I love sorting, and as long as items have a place to live, I do pretty well. Still a pile on the floor that I don't know what to do with. As for the pens you were sorting, I'm wondering how many are actually now dried out ... just saying, from experience.

After I got my diagnosis last October, everything about my life started to make more sense and I am now finding all of "my people" out there in the world who get me and my weird quirky things I do. And, yes, sorting things like this has always been very calming to me. I think I just like making order out of chaos.😁
