Thread: Cleaning up the collection...Do you do this every year too?

Tweet

I just spent 4 hours going throught my collection of boxes and manage to get 5 boxes full of stuff I want to sell off. I am exhausted. The funny thing, it I have 5 more projects I want to finish, that will take place of thoses boxes I manage to empty. Doh!


Do you need to do this every year ?

I hope to see it all posted in the "for sale" section on this site...not that I'm always looking to buy new stuff or anything...

Why do you want to sell so much? ???

I have a friend who goes spastic every time she sees my halloween room. So what if all I can do is open the door...it's MY house and if I got rid of anything,I'd just fill it up again. I have been following that Hoarders show on tv and when I start to resemble one of those people I will clean house...LOL!

EVERY YEAR!!! EVERY YEAR!! So yea i know what you mean.

It's mostly stuff I got in my scores that I don't really care to have. Nothing really that good, to be honest (In my opinion). Some are okay, but broken when I got them. I'll post pics tomorrow, if I have time.

Actually, I've never done that and I've got the attic to prove it! The closest I've ever come was earlier this year when I decided to sell off some of my Spooky Town pieces. Trying to scale back and only display my very favorites, but I still had a hard time letting go!

I'm finally going to get rid of some things this year. I am going to have hubby bring everything down from the attic today so I can start sorting through them. I want to get rid of the things I don't use anymore, mostly things from past theme parties, cutesy things, etc. I'll be having a yard sale in early Oct. and will use the money to go to Halloweentime at Disneyland!

I don't make a point of going thru my stuff & weeding items out, but usually in the course of unpacking, I find some things that I just don't like anymore or have duplicates. So it's a matter of tastes changing. I don't have the patience to deal with garage sales or eBay, etc., so I just donate regularly to the Vietnam Veterans. I just want it gone!!
I've just started getting into the bigger props in the last two years and they're all homemade, so I'm not getting rid of those for a long time!
