Because I can no longer manage on my own (I suffer from M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, arthritis and quite severe asthma) I now live with my son & family. Space is very limited so a lot of my personal craft stash has to be sold along with the items I've bought to make up into cardmaking kits and sell on - the small amount of profit that I make enables me to buy things for my personal use which I couldn't otherwise afford. Now, I'm having to sort through my personal stash and be really firm with myself about what I really want to keep and which things I can bear to let go.
The positive aspect of the situation I find myself in is that someone else will experience the joy of using the items that I've been holding onto, thinking that I'll get round to using them one day!
