As I have gotten older ( I am 56) I have actually had "the urge to purge" I have gotten rid of tons of stuff, but I still can't part with my books ( I am an avid reader) or my craft stuff. Since I have started to quilt ( about 1 and 1/2 years) I have not used any of my other craft stuff. I am almost ready to part with the craft stuff but the books are another matter. :)
