WMUTeach: When you are done, please drive to my house and help me go through my bins. Lol!
I had been stacking the empty photo boxes and bins on the end of the table where I was going through pictures/memorabilia but the pile went too high for me to add anything else. Now they are being stored in a walk-in closet. It felt good watching the pile grow. I may not have thrown much, but like you, I was able to compact things.
I’m also emptying some smaller bins of fabric pieces. I got so overwhelmed with donations a few years back along with starting too many new projects. Then throw in several super busy school year subbing schedules and going out of town to help family in the summer. Eventually, I would get frustrated with the mess and toss the fabric in the nearest bin/bins. So now I’m paying the price of lack of organization which is causing me more work. Oh well! I wouldn’t exchange my subbing experiences and family time for anything. I’m not complaining because I at least have plenty to keep me busy.
