Last year I wrote this article for the Mixed Media Arts.net website Are we Collectors or Hoarders? and it got a lot of attention, as it seemed to resonate with many people! Fast forward to this year and I am asking myself that question again. Maybe it is due to the bad weather we have been having and that I am stuck indoors more than I would like. Being stuck inside after such a cold winter, I am STILL dealing with that "cabin fever" thing, usually reserved only for winter.
Maybe it is due to the fact that I work out of my basement and I feel the need for more light. Then it may be due to the fact that walking towards my actual studio has involved getting through a small obstacle course on a narrow trail! So on my country's national holiday, Canada Day, I attacked some of that clutter. After all it rained most of the day, then it got windy, and a lot of festivities were postponed or cancelled. We did not even do our annual family fireworks.
Today I can see some of my long forgotten laminate flooring. I am also encouraged to purge some more! And I have contracted out some lighting and shelving work. i.e.. if the weather is not nice on the weekend my husband will be installing those shelves and lights!
So I will purge a bit more today in between getting my son to and from appointments, business calls and post writing. Hoping I will get a bit of sunlight near the end of the day! After all I need to stay on track of being a very good collector and not a hoarder! LOL.
If you want to chuckle at me or yourself just go check out what I wrote : Are we Collectors or Hoarders?
Thanks for stopping by.
