Let's Talk Eliminating The Excess

Hello, everyone! Yesterday I did a little purging in "The Cave". As I was sorting through 

things that I've had for years, literally, I realized that crafting can become more about
purchasing supplies and less about the actual craft itself.  I know from first-hand experience.
When I first started crafting, four-plus years ago, I would buy anything that was on sale. I mean, why not? Look how cheap it is, surely, I can use this for something. Here's the problem with that thought process, more than sixty percent of my purchases were brought home, placed on a shelf or in a drawer and never touched again. Yes, they all look so pretty lining my shelves but just think of all the supplies I could have bought and USED! For instance, the picture below, the left side of the bookshelf, third shelf up, Martha Stewart Punches that I purchased for $2.99, $3.99 and $5.99 Let's guesstimate the cost. On the low side, $200. Really, Lisa? I could have spent that money on usable supplies.

Fast forward to four years and this is what I now know about my crafting. I have two crafts, making cards and creating with my Silhouette Cameo. My card-making is CAS with bold, bright colors and white or kraft cardstock for the base. I wish I would've figured this out sooner, I could've saved myself some money and, perhaps, discouragement. Now, I find I want to eliminate all this excess and only have what I need. I'm finding by eliminating the excess my creativity is blooming. They say, clearing the clutter clears your mind, I'm finding truth in that statement. So today, I will be giving away more of my excess. Who knows maybe my excess fits your craft style and if not, please, pay it forward. 

THE CAVE

Being organized is a must, The Cave is small, but it's, oh so, perfect for me!
 I'm so grateful every day I walk in here.
