Today I want to celebrate good stuff....and I have lots of it!
I am a hoarder. Not the TLC crazy Hoarder's kind of a hoarder...I just have a problem letting go of things - especially anything that is attached to any significant time, place or person. Even clothes - some that I will never wear - I can't get rid of because I remember when I got it, or where I wore it, or some other such ridiculousness.
This little problem has seeped over into my work life. I keep everything I get...pictures, sticky notes, cards, letters, gifts...everything! You can imagine that my walls can get a little cluttered, but I love to have those reminders of good stuff around me. It helps me to "de-clutter" my head after dealing with a "problem child" to look up at my walls and see a reminder of other "problem children" that have made it to the other side.
good stuff...
Well, I am happy to let you know that I have found a solution to this part of my hoarding habit. It is called The Smash Book. I found it on Pinterest (where else?!) and have been on the look out for one since I discovered it. I was so happy to learn that they are sold at Michael's, so I went and bought one. Now, for those of you that are incredibly crafty and creative, I'm sure you are thinking, "oh good grief - I could put one of those together for half the price!" Well, most likely I could too, but my intentions seem to get lost somewhere between the idea and the doing, so I thought I would just get a ready made one and go for it.
So far I have filled 13 of its pages with treasures from the residence. It has become "that thing that I will grab in case of fire" in my office. I love it. As I was pasting and writing in it, I was overcome again with how incredibly God has blessed my life. It is good. so very good.
What a great way to count your blessings!!
good stuff...
