I happened across the show "Hoarders: Buried Alive" again last evening.
One lady had hired a professional organizer to help her. As the organizer was attempting to throw away a handful of plastic picks that hold cards in flower arrangements, the owner about broke down saying she didn't like to waste anything and she had plans to use most of her stuff (that was piled about three feet deep throughout her house.) My thought is, are we hanging onto dumb things because we "have plans to use them?" I have a dirty little crocheted bassinet someone gave to my daughter at least 16 years ago. The base was a dishsoap bottle and someone crocheted the cutest little top that folds up into a bassinet with a hood for a little doll. I've saved that thing for YEARS because I wanted to learn to make them and give them as gifts (to who now? My daughter's college friends???) It's a great craft, but I can't figure it out on my own, and I have no little preschool girls in my life. So, it's one of those things that is cluttering my life and needs to go.
