My mom is also a crafter and she shares all of her tools with me so that helps me keep it down to a reasonable amount too. You have some good advice on how to organize and purge extra supplies, and I'll keep that in mind. I just subscribed to your other Stamp blog through Google Friend and already subscribe here. Thanks for your fun question and answer posts, and for all the challenges.<br />apedoak at aol dot com SHartlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029908883471292293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650379721204330416.post-72680715781760660142016-04-29T15:30:20.929-04:002016-04-29T15:30:20.929-04:00Oh, what a great question...and wonderful answer f...Oh, what a great question...and wonderful answer from you. You are so right that most of us have way too many supplies, but the problem is compounded when we don't use them. Organizing is always an ongoing task, and it's so frustrating when I can't find what I need in this pile of stuff. Your step-by-step for purging is excellent! I donated many of my wildly patterned and brightly colored papers to the elementary school, or to my 5 year old granddaughter who uses it for school and art projects. It makes my heart sing when I see her use up stickers and papers that have languished in my stash for years. I also periodically take unloved papers and ribbon to the Senior Center where they are appreciated and used. I use mostly stamps and dies on my projects, rather than buying pre-made embellishments, so there aren't a lot of things that can get used up, but then there is all that paper! We crafters love pretty paper, don't we? I just subscribed to Jo's Stampin Studio and will be referring a couple of friends as well. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!Karenladdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392815855900173356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650379721204330416.post-38068884777745565422016-04-29T12:03:54.343-04:002016-04-29T12:03:54.343-04:00Visited your other blog.

I did sell my former sewing machine so happy with that. There has to bee one helluva rock concert going on in heaven with the likes of David Bowie, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Prince and more. I did not know that Prince wrote so many songs for other singers and did not know how wonderful a dancer/entertainer he was until I saw when he was the Super Bowl halftime show. Never saw him at a concert in person. Have a BEE-utiful day!<br />Melissa<br />"Sunshine HoneyBee"Sunshine HoneyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717139511153610186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650379721204330416.post-65627345121630783272016-04-29T08:18:33.961-04:002016-04-29T08:18:33.961-04:00I visited Jo's Stampin Studio and I am a follo...I visited Jo's Stampin Studio and I am a follower.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712163979504699917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650379721204330416.post-17434865371965311072016-04-28T15:30:44.491-04:002016-04-28T15:30:44.491-04:00I have the same problem of being a craft hoarder, ...I have the same problem of being a craft hoarder, but I also use them.

Getting together a box of things that I might try to sell, and a box of things to give away. That is my goal anyway, and a start to organizing what I have. I just had a project that I mailed off yesterday (an ATC swap) that I nearly didn't get done, all because I couldn't locate an umbrella die that I knew I had! I finally did find it, in a basket along with many other dies. Some of them I'd forgotten I had!<br />I am already subscribed to your other blog as well as this one!Denise Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553432871345452930noreply@blogger.com
