    For me, when I decluttered my craft area, I trashed 2/3 of all my supplies and tools... literally in big huge black trash bags and bankers boxes, straight in the dumpster... yes, I know, horrific to everyone I have told this to and seen me do it... but I tried decluttering to people I know, regifting, selling, donating... all with their own set of huge problems... TBH I just needed a restart and I needed those things gone, die-cutting machines, silhouette, vagabond, dies by the 100s, 12x12 by the banker's boxes, 6x6 at least 200 pads... and so much more... I knew that money was gone and I didn't have the energy or time to find places for all the stuff to go. So for me, bagged up, boxed up, and straight to the dumpster... I don't regret any of it. And now I have exactly what I wanted... A clean, functioning, newly designed crafting area, all with new furniture and all the supplies and things I love... in perfect neat order. I am a Bee, and once I understood that, it made it so easy to see that I needed order to craft and create. One thing I did learn from decluttering and watching your journey, is I need to not buy anything new, unless and until I have used up that supply... Good luck and I can't wait to see your crafting room complete.

      Doing this sucks, but I did the same thing when we bought a house and moved. I hated it, but I had done the organizing and the donating and the trying to sell and I just needed it to all be gone for a fresh start. I had to trash items that the old owner left at our new house too and I felt guilty for that, but sometimes it just needs to be done. The money is spent, you did what you could, and you hopefully learn from it so you won't have to do it again.

    My craft room is about 10‘ x 10‘ and I view that as a container. This keeps me from buying because I don’t have the room. I don’t put any craft items anywhere but my craft room.

    So impressive what you have done. Energy and overwhelm ebbs and flows are so part of the process. And I don't think any of the money you spent was wasted--you enjoyed shopping for the items, buying them, looking at them, now passing them on. Your approach to buying, inventory and maintenance is changing, and that will go on for a long time. It is so cool to watch you work through the thoughts and feelings. Thank you for sharing.

  • @Conval-wi5eh

    I live in the city and rather than donating my decluttered items that aren't worth selling I put them into a box, sign it with 'for free' and put it on the curb. Sometimes I even like to watch from high up thorgh my appartment window what happens, people stopping by, digging through it and taking the stuff they want or need with a smile on their face. It always cheers me up and it usually takes only two or three hours until the box is completely empty.
    It's very common where I live.

    Norma here
    First let me say that your craft room is lovely. It’s large, bright and built for organizing all the supplies you use while scrapbooking.
    You certainly have an over abundance of materials though. I love to craft and dabble into all kinds of mixed media projects. I paint on all types of surfaces including rocks. I decoupage and stencil. I have tons of supplies, but not even 1/16th of the amount you have. I just don’t have a space large enough.
    You all are doing an awesome job of decluttering and organizing. You’re doing a great job of getting rid of stuff too. When all is said and done, you will probably still have more than you’ll ever use, but you’ll have the perfect spot to relax, unwind and do what brings you joy.
    Colt snd Clay are great company for you. They bring you so much joy and laughter.

    I've been on a long decluttering journey (about 5 years) and I'd now class myself as a minimalist, but I'm still a messy person lol, my husband describes me as a whirlwind, leaving choas where ever I go 😂 the difference now is that because we have so much less stuff we can tidy up within a few minutes rather than it being an all day task 🥰 just thought I'd share that if we are naturally messy we're always going to have clutter around us, it's just so much less stressful to deal with 🥰

It cracks me up to see DSP go by and say ‘Oh, that’s SU’s Raspberry Lemonade!’ which is SO old and it’s crazy that I recognize it, but I do! It’s so fun to see your crafty space reappear and I’m so very proud of your efforts to sort and let things go.

    Hi, I just discovered your channel and was drawn to it, since I have been working toward organizing and decluttering my craft room and all my craft supplies. When I began, I read a lot of books on the subject, and in doing so, I made a realization. Most people who write books about decluttering and organizing are already organized and have no idea how unorganized people think or how their brains work. We really need someone who has been able to work through their own mess and figured out how to get organized and uncluttered despite their own tendencies. Since you are a writer, maybe you should be the one to write a real book on the subject.

    Good job! I moved from a 3 bedroom apartment filled to the brim of craft stash. I donated nearly half and moved the rest into 2 storage units while living temporarily at my sister’s. 7 months ago I moved into a one bedroom apartment & had emptied it he storage units and it was floor to ceiling wall to wall of stuff. I was able to unpack & donate several car loads but I still have way too much. Currently going through another round of purging but coming up with less stuff to donate. I need to come to your realization that I can let go because it’s a hot mess! Giving myself some grace as I discovered late last year I was suffering minor heart attacks & had to have 2 stents put in and I had cataracts and recently had surgery to take care of them. I also have a senior dog who I’m trying to give his best life to.

Bonnie is amazing being able to come help you to get things decluttered. Can't wait to see what more you have to come... ❤❤❤

    Hi Mira , New subscriber here. I am so proud of all you have accomplished. Just keep going. Someday share with us your completed pages or even your process when you scrapbook. I was introduced to the hobby after I lost my first baby and I a paperholic. I love pretty papers. So so proud of you. I am cheering you on!!!

    You are parting with so much. Amazing! 🎉. Remember to give yourself grace. Doing the process is what makes the long term changes. Be proud of your progress! But also let the container decide how much you can keep. Start with favourites, To paraphrase Dana K White, let the container, room , home be the guide to how much, and most important things in the container that is your home, is you and your cutie pie doggies, ❤

      If you fill up a designated container, and find something worthwhile you want to keep,simply pull out and donate something less container worthy to out the found item in. You got this! It takes practice. ❤

    Wow what an amazing transformation! I also am a paper crafter, I make junk journals so I use all of the same things you do. My craft room is in need of organizing and "thinning" so much. I recently moved and am also using the Master bedroom as my crafting space, but I have to use it as my sewing and knitting/crochet space as well. It's taking me literally months to try and figure out how to arrange the room but I feel pretty good about it now and have a few more organizers to purchase to be able to fully move into my room. I loved watching your process on your channel, and the other channel too. So cool to get the other perspective! I think I learned a few things I can use in my room, thank you so much for sharing!

    It is amazing to see how you are sorting and letting go so much easier now. Good job! I sent a big box of donations to a scrapbooking group. It was easy to let go of the things I would never have used. I am fixing to do a second pass on all my craft items. A craft supply yard sale might be a great idea if you are up for it.

    You will never get back what you invested . If you do have a sale, whatever dosnt sell, take it directly to be donated. Dont bring it back inside. Maybe talk to a school teacher and have them come and get whats left after the sale. Donations are tax deductable

    August 2024. 3 of us live in a 2BR apartment near Chicago. If I haven't used a craft item in a year, I pass it on to another crafter. Most of my supplies were free or
    used anyway. There's a food pantry that takes craft items and a seniors group at a local church. Tina, Al's wife

    hello. a new subscriber. I loved seeing the organization of your room, I have a very small room because I'm starting with scrapbooking, and I'm a messy little girl, but watching your video I'm going to be careful with my few things to organize as I get new material or as gifts. , but I will be careful to keep it organized. Thank you very much for this teaching. I'm barely 50 years old, but 2024 is my first time with this new hobby of scrapbooking. I will go watch your scrapbooking videos to learn techniques and ideas. Best regards from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

    Mira, I am in the process of resetting my craft room. I have pieced it together with old shelving and stuff I found on market places. It doesn't work for me. My paper for projects frustrate me in horizontal bins. So I am getting new shelving to store it vertically. I find it funny that everything you indicate isn't your style is mine.lol. You have blessed me in so many ways. The tone of your voice is so soothing. Not judgemental. Just you. I can't wait to see you continue to grow in your happiness as you reclaim your home.

  • @thisnthat42
    @thisnthat42 Před 4 měsíci +3

    I'm so excited for you to have this happy space for you to create in.
    You probably already know this but give yourself a "self by date" for your discards. It's impeding on your day to day living while it's still in the house so find a way to get it out quickly and if that isn't quick enough find a different way even if it isn't what you would consider ideal. Sometimes we just need it gone so you can turn your focus onto things that are relevant to you now and not something that you've already mentally let go of.

  • @bugbuggirl5239
    @bugbuggirl5239 Před 4 měsíci +10

    Mira, you are doing amazing! I spend most of the videos laughing right along with you. I think a craft yard sale is a great idea! You could also donate some of the scrapbook stuff to an inner city school that could use it for art supplies that doesn't sell.

  • @pamelawantsmusic
    @pamelawantsmusic Před 4 měsíci +11

    You need a rule that you never ever sign up for a subscription service for you or the pups or for leggings, food, scrap supplies etc. ever again. It causes an accumulation of stuff, not a collection of things you value. “That’s how they get you…” then decided not to get “got”. If you thoughtfully hand pick everything coming in to your home you will value and respect your items, and in turn, yourself and the space you share with two pups who can’t control their environment. ❤

    Love those clear bins! I’m a butterfly too. Where did you find them?
    I’m reminded of my own craft room project and how my mind works. Mine held scrapbooking, crochet (yarn, yarn, and more yarn), photography, painting, and genealogy. First, I had to do a huge macro sort by hobby. Then by item… all paper together, all pens, all books, … then one hobby at a time go through the abundance of each item to declutter. Only then could I create zones to keep each bit together and findable. So far, it’s stayed good using the container concept. I did eliminate a couple hobbies altogether and sold things off in lots. But my boundaries for the rest are holding . (Fingers crossed for continued success!😊)

    You can call schools, daycares, or nursing homes and see if they would like craft donations. That way it doesn't go to waste and you feel your helping people out! Easier to get rid of things when it's helping someone. Can also post for free on internet and whoever wants it can pick it up (no buy groups).

    As I heard you speak, I recognized the term I've heard...our fantasy self. We all seem to purchase things we plan to do, use, but eventually we face the fact that we haven't done it, and probably never will. It's hard! You'll get through it, and you'll enjoy what is left that you use.

    Your idea of the kits for your overflow is a great idea Mira, especially if you have a garage sale; they could range from $5 kits or $10 kits thereby making it quick to move a bit of stuff.
    One week is too short a time for sorting - I’d give yourself at least a month.

Mira you are an inspiration. Thanks for the long video - I would watch you for hours, if you posted hours-long videos. I'm retired and decluttered so living vicariously through your channel.
