Sorry, I'll just back away now....
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I do belive I like YNN anyways'. She has axes. St, I had so much junk that I was "saving", that it was rediculous. I had a big box full of old spool's of thread. They were my Godmother's and I was saving them for sentimental reasons. I thought about it and decided to save only the wooden spools and toss the other one's out. That took care of 90% of that box. I also had old zipper's and lace odd's and end's and crumbly old plastic doo dads and whatnot's. I even have two huge boxes crammed FULL of old Country Living magazines. I decided that I would go through them and tear out the things that I like in there and toss the rest of the magazine away. I'll only keep the pages from each book that I like things/decor in. I'll then take those pages and make ONE book for me to keep. I had a box of old pen's. Most didn't even work anymore. I have no idea why I save that sort of stuff.

Originally Posted By Sara Tonin DUDE! Are you aware that they don't put thread on wooden spools anymore!! I say we get a bunch of tempra paint and make jewelry!! I'll wear 'em! I think Klucky would too. Country Living Magazines make me feel kinda melancholy...my mom had a subscription for years. She'd read them and then give them to the kids to make collages from them. I have a problem with magazines...I make a stack because I think I want to read something in it and then before I know it there are 6 or 8 more stacked up on top of it. At that point I usually decide to cut and run and throw the whole stack away.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Yes!! I do know they don't put thread on wooden spools anymore. LOL That's why I saved only those one's. after we make the jewelry out of the spools, let's make macaroni necklaces too. Ok? I'm telling you, I had somuch stuff in the garage it's was silly. Now, I have to go through my house and get rid of stuff. The hall closet and underneath my bed is going to be a fun time.
Originally Posted By Sara Tonin I get side tracked so easily...I'll pull everything out of the closet, drawer or whatever and suddenly I'm just sitting in the middle of the floor looking at pictures or reading old letters.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight OMG ME TOO!! LOL! it's any wonder why I never finish anything around here! I used todo that as a kid too, when I had to clean my room. Id start cleaning and then find something that I hadnt seen in a while or had forgotten about and start playing with it and pretty soon my Mom would come in to check upon me ,only to find I hadnt made a dent in there due to me playing the entire time. LOL!!! I'm tellina, we are TWINSIES!

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Now you're just scareing me. I collect antiques and have some in my garage that I've been meaning to put up in my house but just haven't yet. I'm always going antiquing at the swap meet/fleamarket or antique shops around here. Iwish Ihad a shopping /hunting buddy to go with.

I still haven't gotten to her closet..
