I imagine most people don't have my tendency toward the bare minimum. Most people haven't moved so much. Still, you've seen my book collection. Or wait, maybe you haven't since I moved!! If THAT counts as a stash, them I'm sunk. Hey if you finish shtuff send me pictures and I’ll post what you do with it.

But even so, my stuff has a way of multiplying, mostly because I still have that "maybe I'll use it someday" mindset. I also get attached emotionally to things like pictures and cards and books, so they're hard to give up. And those things add up! It probably would be a good idea for me to use what I already have for recycled projects -- I bet I could do something nifty with my cards and photos. :) It would be a good way to de-clutter and be creative too.
