Confessions of a Shopaholic...

So tonight I made a decision... A few weeks ago I went through my craft room and purged a bunch of things that I have moved from house to house since William and I first got married. It is time to use it or loose it. So I had things ready to go to a yard sale that I never ended up following through with. So I decided to just take it to Goodwill. I didn't want to mess with a yard sale so the tax write off sounded better. Tonight I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic and I can totally relate to the sickness! That is a wonderful movie that even your kids can see.

Anyway, I have a new plan. I am going to sort out the Goodwill stuff and get it all out of here before the next time William gets home. What a wonderful surprise that would be, not having to walk around it in the garage again or not having to be the one to load it all up and haul it away. The craft stuff I am going to put in a craft sale here at my home. Like a yard sale but only my more special things. Then I will email all my friends and have them spread the word about it to their friends, etc. I hope I can get a bunch more money out of it and put a little back in the bank where the money should have always stayed in the first place.

I am finally breaking free of the need to have all the current scrapbook items. And of course the need to hang on to everything just in case someday I might need it for a project! Wish me luck!

Is my Wife finally coming around? I'm gonna get all teary eyed. What will I do if I don't have to move all that craft crap again? What a wonderful gift. Thank You Deanna, I LOVE YOU! William
