I was cleaning out the closet in my scrapbook room. Well, not exactly cleaning it out. I was getting a binder for all of my "beach remodel" ideas, lists, receipts, etc.
I came across these and decided I needed to clean them out. That's the cleaning out part.
You can tell the ones that I got once I started scrapbooking. The plain leather one was my first! I need to let them go. Still, it's so hard to let them go. They contained my life back then! But, it's time. I'm pretty sure I'll be scrapbooking a picture of them and telling this story. That's what I do. Then it's almost like I still have them! The beauty of memory keeping for sure!
Really, I need to get rid of stuff. I'm trying. It's hard. Really, really hard.
Getting rid of stuff is hard. But last night while flipping back and forth on election results I watched a You Tube video about the emotionalism of de-cluttering, and it made me want to take another brutal swipe at my scrap studio. There is a craft rummage sale later this month, so I need to strike while the iron is hot, as they say. She talked about how letting it go in a way that suits you is important.
ReplyDeleteI am actually using my "planner" as a record of what I am getting done - so after the fact instead of before. Just got a cute new one for 2021 that starts with November, so that is always a little motivating. The only things I "plan" on my phone are appointments and a quick little list of things I need to do tomorrow - not the big things, but nagging little things that make it easier to sleep knowing I won't forget them.
I typically keep my yearly calendar/planner; but I've gotten rid of all the old portfolios and cases that I had (& thoroughly used & enjoyed) for many years. I still love a paper calendar, but I order a fun new spiral bound one each year.
