Today I decided I needed to get organized.  I realized that I have so many things that I can’t use and things that I have bought thinking they would work and don’t.  I have things that I should have returned but didn’t.  Do other people do that?  Have a pile of things that need to be returned but then time just slips away and the time to return them has passed.  I hate it when I do that.

I learned a new crafting term this year.  It’s called de-stashing.  It’s when you have things you just need to purge yourself of.  Mostly it’s when you have bought way too many things that you could never possibly use.  That describes me to a tee.  I was never like that before.  I never really had a hobby other than travel and reading but this crafting thing is more like a horrible obsession.  If I watch a video on a certain technique, I have to go out and buy the things to make it.  And ribbon, forget about it.  I’m never getting over that one.  I just love it way to much to ever give it up.  So my goal before I have my surgery is to de-stash.  I said it and I mean it.  My follow through may be another thing, but I have every intention to do it and isn’t that the most important part?  Wait, or is it something about some road that is paved with good intentions?  Let’s assume my version is correct.  I am going to de-stash and I’m committed to doing it.  Now I just have to do it.  I’ll let you know when I actually do something about it.  Until then, just think of me as the craft hoarder trying to push past ribbon to get to the kitchen.  No, it’s not that bad. Yet.
