NO MORE COLLECTIONS- edited

I am getting rid of most of my collections.

I use to collect:

books – just getting rid of a lot of non fiction so far
key chains – got rid of most of them
souvenir pins – still have them
coffee mugs – given many to cleaning lady – still have more to sort through
"fancy dishes" – went through my credenza(cupboard in dining room)(breakfront) and got rid of stuff I am not using
postcards – put them in the garbage
purses – have been going through them all the time – giving them away and most important NOT buying new ones
dolls – still keeping them
journals/notepads –  got rid of a ton of them many from the dollar store
tote bags/backpacks – collected these over the years from all over
pens/pencils – love them and have some expensive pens – have given lots away but still have lots
markers/highlighters – have loads in my scrapbook room – have to try them all before I get rid of some
Can’t think of anymore so guess that’s it.
Hot and humid here. Going to Penney’s.

I should get rid of alot of stuff too. I still have my grown kids school papers from kindergarten. Ughhhh. I have such trouble parting with sentimental things like that. 🙁

its always good to have a decent clearout from time to time …I hope you found someone to give them to rather than threw them in the trash….. maybe you could sell them on Ebay or something. hugs P

It’s really nice to give many things away! And that reminds me, I want to sort through our clothes and find stuff to take to Goodwill soon, also. hugs, Weesprite

I collect coffee mugs! With all this free time I’ve had while being under the weather, I’ve been sorting and getting rid of lots of junk. As they say…one’s junk is another one’s treasure! lol

We spent the first 50 years of our lives collecting stuff and the last 50 years getting rid of it, it seems.
