It doesn't matter how big or small they are, I keep them "just in case" I may need them again. I just moved about 5 odd-sized, large boxes into the garage yesterday! I also keep pens, scraps of paper, receipts, an anything that I think I may be able to use in a future craft project. Oh my goodness, I just figured out that I'm a hoarder.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092297423141848525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-47273826828791056552012-03-30T07:14:04.986-05:002012-03-30T07:14:04.986-05:00I am always trying to get back into my smaller clo...I am always trying to get back into my smaller clothes so I find it hard to part with them. We used to be transferred often and I would purge before we moved. We've been here 7 years so my closest are stuffed, I need to make myself do this!

Those erasers ...Erasers and pencils and pens oh my.<br />Those erasers dry out and don't do their job when they get too old. The pencils turn out to be the light hb type and the pens either have a leak or have nothing. Oh yes, forgot those felt pens and the pencil crayons that have been dropped a lot, broken inside the wooden shell and don't sharpen.Joy@aVintageGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788328980114729976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-91379245566859244402012-03-29T20:36:06.645-05:002012-03-29T20:36:06.645-05:00PENS!!!

AND I used to hold onto shoe boxes, but I've overcome that particular habit or whatever it is called! :-) Actually, I had a habit of saving nice, good boxes thinking that surely I will have a need for one sometime in the near future, but I've broken that habit, too! I'll post a picture of my pencils and pens soon! :-)Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645857042542944175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-33799252891959869792012-03-29T20:34:14.960-05:002012-03-29T20:34:14.960-05:00My hoarder issues have to do with clothes that I&#...My hoarder issues have to do with clothes that I've....let's see, how should I say this?...clothes that I've outgrown? Clothes that I think I'll wear again when I lose weight? Clothes that just might come back into fashion? 1998 isn't that far back is it? Anyway, I did give a bunch away last fall.

I end up with piles in the closet because I never get around to doing it. Sad and bad of me, I know. In my old neighborhood they would leave a bag on your door once a year to fill for donations but I haven't seen one in a while. I need that bag to fill!Handsome's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015818405873372780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-32655060217403452742012-03-29T10:22:58.258-05:002012-03-29T10:22:58.258-05:00I will probably be saving and hoarding shoe boxes ...I will probably be saving and hoarding shoe boxes till I die, for the same reasons you mentioned.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-19943060370445640462012-03-29T10:10:33.707-05:002012-03-29T10:10:33.707-05:00I save pens too, just in case they decide to write...I save pens too, just in case they decide to write again as you said. Then one day I will get aggravated because I have all of these pens that don't write and start purging. But more pens find their way into my houses again, and the process starts all over again. I think it is some kind of pen conspiracy or something. Obviously it can't be my falut!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224641189444110135noreply@blogger.com
