My destashing is under way.  I decided I couldn’t stand it a minute longer, so I started listing things on ebay. I feel better about myself already so immediately talked Rich into going to craft stores (he sat in the car and played on his computer) and I restashed what I had just started to destash.  Is it a sickness?  I think it might be.  I spoke with a woman who had a cart full of Christmas ornaments.  She said it was her second trip to Michael’s today having purchased another cart full of the same ornaments.  I asked her what her plans were and she said she was going to do craft fairs next year.  As soon as she said that a light bulb went on in my head (well, not literally).  Michael’s was selling these ornaments at 70% off.  Of course they might be cheaper after Christmas, but this deal was too good to pass up.  Sure I could use them next year.  Didn’t I just clear off a shelf with my destashing?  Now I have room for next year’s You Tube projects.  Is this smart thinking?  I seriously doubt it, but it was a lot of fun.  I did have to talk the woman out of three sets of ornaments since she bought the entire store’s worth.  She was gracious and said she wasn’t going to be a hog about it, and let me take them.   So I’m on my way to 2016 or 2017’s Christmas You Tube projects.  I should have destashed awhile ago.  I never realized how much fun it could be.

  1. Woman, you are crazy! We most definitely are sisters from another mother. Why, you ask? Because my dining room is full of ornaments I bought at Michaels 3 years ago, with the best of intentions… they are a huge part of my destash campaign! If only we lived closer together… No, we’d be too dangerous for each other…
