    Too OC for me. Those of you who decide on doing this, I'll absorb your excess. My fabrics may appear to be dormant, but when I have a class for 26 4-H students, it goes quickly. I even keep the low quality stuff. It makes good practice projects for those 12 year olds.

    Did his program this week on OWN upset anyone except me? The daughter had called him in to declutter Mom's house and she was holding her child as hostage until Mom cleaned up the place. Mom alluded to the fact that she had her own stuff, things that had belonged in her family and besides she was a teacher who had collected many teaching aids and bulletin board materials over the years. Yes, her house was "becoming crowded" but for that daughter to dictate how her mom was going to take care of her house!!! I think there were other issues there besides the collection of stuff. The baby was still a babe in arms, I believe, so what's the deal? The place didn't look dirty, just cluttered. By the time they took out all of the plastic tubs the place looked pristine--kinda like a store--but now daughter was happy. Was mama? Dad looked stunned. Daughter learned she could dictate to her parents by withholding contact with the grandchild. Mom no longer has things that she enjoyed having, even though it was more than she might have needed. Maybe I related to her too much as I have a lifetime collection myself?

    I saw it. I felt sad for the mother. She looked like she'd give up anything if only they'd leave her alone. I don't like that show.

    I'm just now starting out and trying to build a stash - I sure don't want to get rid of anything!

    Don't think I want to read it either! I cherish my fabrics right down to my crumbs!

    I'd need a fully staffed accounting department to keep track of it all. ;-)

    I like Peter Walsh and agree with almost everything he says - I have downsized twice and am tired of clutter. It really helps to have a friend help who is more objective and a place to take the donate pile too.

    It's okay if the person is willing but the woman they were badgering looked so sad. .
