I packed up all my craft stuff last weekend - 18 boxes worth. They are all taped up, labeled and packed neatly away in the crawl space. Now I'm re-thinking that. Do I really want to haul all that stuff across the country so it can sit in boxes for months or most likely years? Should I just get rid of it all? I was very inspired after visiting Jessi yesterday, as she had a very valid point - if I EVER decide to stamp again, will the stamps I have even be "in style" anymore? And all that ink would just be dried up. Maybe I should go through it and sell most, if not all of it now and save myself the headache later. So, does anyone want to buy my stuff at a discount?!
Ok, back to organizing and packing - my third bedroom is now the catch-all room. It should be the guest room. We have a bed in there, but it is standing on end with tons of stuff (mainly for Goodwill) piled around it. Our close friend Jason in coming down from Wisconsin tomorrow and the boys will be doing some spring Turkey hunting in the mornings and basement remodeling in the evenings this week. This means I need to spend all my non-laundry time today trying to get things packed or removed and donated from this black hole of a space by tomorrow. Ugh...I wish I had $$ so I could just hire someone to do all this tedious crap for me and I can just play all day. I got some yummy new yarn to play with yesterday when I visited Jessi and I just want to park my butt on the couch and knit. Or maybe golf first (the weather is beautiful) and THEN knit! Decisions...LOL

I hear ya sista! packing/moving is the pits! We did sell a lot of our crap. stuff that we wanted to replace or that was out of style. Things that were begging to go back to their decade. All my craft stuff got packed though and now that we are in a sense 'starting over' it was nice to pull it all out and have something that didn't cost me to replace, cause believe me, you throw out way more than you plan on in the last few days! We are still replacing stuff! Good luck! may your will power be with you :)
Good luck! I don't envy you a bit:) Wish I was there to help out though. Good luck with your golf v.s. knitting decision.
Selling a bunch of stuff is probably a great idea. I don't like parting with stuff, however then it's less to move. Have fun knitting!
