Sequins and loose glitter. I do use sequins but despise loose glitter. I do not know how I ended up with so much.

I have too many enamel dots. I do not believe that is possible! I have tons, but I love them. I have too much washi tape. I pretty much only use it to hold down dies when cutting. I had too much ribbon, but I donated about 75% of it. I do use some occasionally on a tag, so I kept some basics. My kids would say I have too much everything! |

Sequins! I have so many different colors, received in kits through the years. I can't let them go, though. I have issues. I love sequins! I use a ton of them on my layouts and really like that I have a large variety of colors and mixes. Also not sure if this would be an embellishment but...Project Life cards. I haven't done pocket scrapbooking in probably 10 years but my cards fill up the bottom of my Ikea Raskog cart. I need to purge them... When Tuesday Morning sold those, I bought a bunch. I have so many! There are so many duplicates in the boxes, too. I hardly ever scrap like that, too. I think I might take the duplicates to school- the kids might like them and they would make nice bookmarks. What I am drowning in is memorablia. Four kids ages 19-10 preschool to college, they bring home a lot of paperwork, art, report cards, awards and random drawings... it has piled up. Take photos of everything and keep the photos, toss a lot of the memorabilia. I don't need the certificate- the photo is enough. I do this will some of their art, too. I noticed that a lot of kids at school take photos of their art and then throw the art away. It kind of hurts my heart but I do understand where they are coming from. I have too many enamel dots. This is impossible.  flowers, ribbon, and buttons. all old school embellishments that i don't use much anymore and have to part with soon. With the flowers, I just took a handful of them and then took the rest to school- I didn't need a bottle of every one. I still have plenty and the kids used them up like crazy. I'll never get rid of my ribbon- I do use it and it is so pretty! If you scrap with tags it is nice to pull it out for that. If you are getting rid of it, I'd donate it to a school. Our language arts teacher made journals with the kids and she took some of my extra ribbon to bind them. The kids loved it. And as for buttons- yeah, I'm not getting rid of those, either. When I'm stuck for an embellishment they are always there to save me. Need a pop of color or some dimension? Love buttons. |

It would be hard to say what I have too much of, cause I have a lot of everything it seems like. But the least used of my too much would probably be Christmas ribbon and Christmas embellishments.
A coworker has a Girl Scout troop and all the items I purge are now donated to her. She loves getting donations and I like that it's a good use for my cast-offs.

Like @quinmm14, I have too much of everything! A few years ago, I went through my washi stash and most of it had gone bad. It was gummy and didn't peel off the roll well so I threw away 90% of my washi tape. I purchase a few rolls here and there but I am more careful with what I purchase.

Way too much washi, but it is displayed in shot glass holders and has now become part of the artwork.  |

Probably too many diecuts & stickers. I'll likely do a clean up & donate some to a friend's kindergarten class.

Probably brads--the kind that come on a card and are designed for specific collections. I have A LOT of those, definitely too many. I don't care, though. I love them. I looked at the basket I keep them in when I was going through my stuff this spring, smiled at it, and said NOPE. I go through phases where I use them. Some of them are so pretty. No regrets.

Baby girl embellishments: papers, diecuts and stickers. Little bits of pink lace. I gave away all the baby boy stuff to a new gramma now that my youngest dgk is turning 9 this year. If I hear of someone scrapping for a baby girl I can just happily hand over the tote. If one of my dgk's ends up having a baby girl before I finish scrapping, I can always acquire more themed baby stuff. Wish I lived closer to you I would happily re-home the baby girl stuff.. not that I have any time to scrap anyway  |

In the back of my bin of (definitely NOT too many) enamel dots I noticed the (completely unused) little sample of deco foil from C&CD March 2023. It and its glue are also now in the donation bin....

I thought I had too many enamel dots, but I’m trying to use some on an album spine to make Mickey heads and I’ve just realised that I do not have enough pink ones to do so 🥲 mbanda I have way too many pocket cards for project life as well - and some are very ugly in my opinion - so they are now held together with a rubber band in the pantry and I use them to make grocery lists every week! I kept one or two of each design, and I’ve still got quite a few to go through, but once I’m done I’m going to go through my stash again and get another pile out. |

That's a good idea! I do something similar with any scrap leftover white/light coloured paper. Cut it down to size, stock the bucket in the kitchen/next to the phone for quick notes, grocery lists or anything else where you only need a little bit of scratch paper. |

Sticker sheets. Between years of buying collection kits, online events and warehouse sales, I have SO many stickers!! I do have them well sorted and use them regularly, but it will take me a long time before I make any kind of dent in my stash.

I love this idea, and pretty grocery lists surely have to help making grocery shopping more fun. I'm sad I've used up the last of my oversized post it notes with cats in hats and am now down to using up old tiny notepads. |

I'm another one who can add their name to the list of too much washi. I don't have a ridiculous stash of it, but I also don't reach for it so by that measure I own too much. I've got a roll sitting in the dish on my desk that I use to tape down stencils or dies, and I've purged some rolls I know I'll never use, but it probably wouldn't hurt me to reevaluate what is left.
