I am feeling somewhat energized and need to get started purging again. I am kind of stuck with what to get rid of.
Yesterday I got rid of brads. I love brads and I can't quite believe I did that. I am having donation regrets now. I might have to retrieve them. It is starting to stress me out now knowing they are gone. Mists gone=good. Brads=bad.
I won't miss the stamps I am sure. I kept everything I loved.
I over did the cardstock buying by a lot. BFF used to order it for me, I used to order it for me and then I would buy at Michaels when they had a sale. That's not including all the stuff I got at the LSSes over the years, too. I don't know how to purge this and it's causing me stress. Stuff I don't care about like board books and foam stamps I am fine with. Heck, I don't care at all. Cardstock I love and cherish. It's like a "thing" with me. Someone could pick through my stash and they can have anything but cardstock and my stamps. They stay.
I could also do something easy like just pick up the plastic in the room. That might be easier. Just make the room a little tidier. With less clutter in the room it might just make it more manageable. I don't know. You can see I am conflicted.
Let me tell you about the school. They are a Montessori school that all the kids in my neighbourhood went to even though it's across today. They are so supportive of everything be it single parents, kids adapting to school for the first time, GLBTQ peoples, other cultures (we are Japanese), it feels so good to give all the stuff to them because I know they will love it all. The education my son got there was priceless and I would do it all over again a million times over. That says something right there. My heart broke when he graduated. I am a sap I know, but if you knew the support we got from the school you would understand why this is such an important project for me.
So for today, anyone have any ideas where to begin? It's not even 9 am Pacific time and I would like to get a couple of hours in.
