Purging after the (crying) Binge

This is how I handle stress and difficult times. I start purging stuff.

Since the move out of the store I've been kind of avoiding getting down to brass tacks and getting stuff back in some sort of order around here. I started it a few weeks ago but then everything started going to hell around here. I took a photo of the piles in my "store room" last week but my camera was having issues just like everything else around here and I lost the pic. I wanted to have a record of where I started from when I got it all done. I guess you'll just have to believe me when I tell you it was an incredible mess!

Last week I did manage to sort and photograph a small selection of things to put on ebay. It was mainly rubber stamps and Sizzix stuff. Most of it sold, half of it has actually been paid for and shipped. It was a start.

I've come to realize that I have more paper and scrapbook craft stuff than I will ever use in 20 lifetimes. I know I won't do any more hardcore scrapping again so it is just taking up valuable real estate. A lot of the miscellaneous stuff I've already sent to Goodwill. The more valuable, newer, and nicer stuff I'm trying to figure out what to do with now. After listing, selling, and shipping almost a dozen lots last week on ebay I've decided that it really isn't worth the work for most of the small stuff. Occasionally I see a large lot of miscellaneous stuff go for big bucks but doubt mine would fit in that category.

So this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to put it here on my blog. If you are interested in any of it leave a comment or send me an email with an offer. I'll figure out what shipping will cost (let me know your zip code or country. Yes, I'll even ship to Canada and International!) and send you a PayPal invoice. I'll probably even throw in some freebies too. Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger image.
