Actually, I've been conquering the physical stuff pretty well this past week. I unpacked some boxes from our move from over 2 years ago, FINALLY, and threw out over 2 trash bags full of crap. The craft room is fianlly coming together :)

We still have a mess of stuff in boxes in the basement. and of course we've collected more stuff since caresen's mum sent several boxes to us over the last couple of years while clearing out her storage.

An intercontinental move can do wonders for your ability to cull stuff from your life. Barring that, we do the "sticking it in the rafters" trick too....but I have done my best to simplify; I now have a rule that if I don't use or at least look at something at least once in a year, it isn't worth the space it's taking up and I won't miss it when it's gone.

Well, I 'left' and put all of it in too small of storage locker. We will see if any of it ever realy gets unpacked or if it will just add to the tings from my past I can't get rid of.

On summer when I was staying in the Twin Cities I still had a few boxes I never moved out of my car. (A dorm room of stuff didn't fit in my room at my cousins.) On day at the end of the summer after spending a week in South Dakota I was driving back to the Twin Cities conteplating the return to Morris. I figured I could have just skipped going back to the Twin Cities and went straight to Morris and about the only thing I would have missed was my beding. I didn't, but boy it was temptig..... (I am still have all that stuff, and probably haven't used most if it since then either.)
