Some of these comments are hilarious!!!!! I especially like Marion's about collecting rocks hahahaha
I also agree that having a stash too large is not a good idea, at least not for me. I get too overwhelmed. I've given away tons of fabric over time and am much happier with a smaller array. It also made me feel good to help someone else out.
I wish I didn't invest so much into books. I got rid of about 75-85% of mine last year. I just don't read them anymore, same with magazines. I don't buy mags anymore and don't miss them.
I kept my very special books and that's it. I don't miss one that I let go of.
