Welcome Back!
So, I have been cleaning out my scrap crap (again!) I know, how many times can I clean out? This time, though, it was a deep clean and not just a surface clean. I went through all my papers, stamps, stickers…every container and every box.
The “biggest” difference this time was that I reorganized everything. Â Previously, I had all my papers together, stickers together, die cuts together. Same product together. This time, while organizing, I put all like themes together. So all the paper, die cuts, stickers, etc. for summer, can be found all together! So much easier to know exactly what I have!
Here are the bins that started my destash. This is JUST my Christmas and Halloween things…including the brown crate.
Yep, pretty excessive…but such good stuff! 🙂
Believe me, I have started to sort through these bins many times, but due to the amount in each bin, I would quickly become overwhelmed, put everything back into the bins and quit.
But, never fear, Jennifer is here!
I really would not have gotten this destash started or completed if it wasn’t for Jennifer! She sorted everything by collections and even mentioned how product has dates! Which was a good thing. Some products I have been saving since 2007 in order to use in that “perfect project.” Jennifer told me if I have had it for 10 years, it’s likely that the perfect project was not going to happen!
Excellent point!
Jennifer was so good! She pointed out when I had little bits and pieces of a collection, that I had used the collection to the best it could be used and it was time to let it go! (yea!) So we spent 6 hours sorting, organizing and destashing!
Five empty bins by the time we got it all cleaned out!!
I now have two bins for Halloween and two bins for Christmas! It feels good to get through all that stuff and get down to what I really like and need. There’s always something new and exciting being released and now I have room for it!
I am selling my stuff at the Memory Bound Garage Sale on
September 15-17 if you need any good stuff!
Feels good doesn’t it and it looks good
