I think this is an excellent test. I wish I'd use it myself more often. The first thing that would happen would be the disappearance of a whole bunch of stamps. Alpha stickers - I was complaining about those super tiny stickers in another thread, and those actually fail the test. They need to go.pamcook wrote:Do I love it?
Does it make me smile?
Will I use it?
If no to all of them, it needs to go. It's just taking up the small amount of space I have for those things that make me smile, I love, and/or will use.
As far as other supplies, most of them do pass the "does it make me smile?" test. That's why I still have Creative Memories papers from the turn of the century. And paper is my biggest issue. My other categories of stuff fit nicely in their allocated storage area, and I don't need to reclaim the storage for any purpose currently. Paper, however, is an issue. I have no room for any more 12x12 paper. But dang near every sheet I come across makes me happy. So it stays. And I continue to acquire more.
