So, I think I remember saying I was going to get rid of clutter, not start collecting more. Well, not this weekend. I started the weekend by gathering some more craft supplies to get rid of. I came up with a baggie of colored pencils. Not much, I know. I'm happy with myself for getting rid of them though. I have nice watercolor pencils, and the kids have tons of colored pencils, so they were pretty easy to part with. Tonight I went back through and tested all my regular (as opposed to pigment) ink pads and threw a couple away and put a couple away for the yard sale. Some of those pads are so old, but they still work fantastically! I also tested and threw out some magic markers. Those were really old too, and those were not working well.
That's about all I did this weekend. However, what I took into the house, was much, much more. Friday I "won" a basket at a silent auction. I paid $90 for $300 worth of stamping and cardmaking/scrapbooking supplies. So, it was a good deal, but more stuff in the house. Some of it, like a stamp set in French, I already donated to a swap table at a crop I was at on Saturday (I put a few other things on that table too, like a couple of punches and things). Some of it I used, which was nice, and the rest I kept. I also spent $55 at the crop on new paper and scrapbooking items. Sigh. I finished 7 pages at the crop, but I don't think I threw away a lot of packaging and scraps. I don't think I made any kind of dent in my supplies. I also had a couple of people give me some of their paper that they didn't want any more. I love the free supplies, but I really need to get rid of some stuff!!
At the silent auction, I offered my scrapbooking services, and I just got in touch with the woman who bid on it. Although I'll be buying new stuff to make her book, I hope I can get rid of some of my own stuff, too.
