And I used to have LOADS of stuffed animals,like when I was younger my stuff animals to up all my space in my closet,I got rid of a lot,but I still have quite a few. And also my sister is not good at getting rid of stuff,like she has a disco ball and a strobe light,and neither of them she will ever use,and she also hates change. But my mom is pretty good at getting rid of stuff.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471660304961348918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-29264588780125631812012-11-19T10:46:28.885-08:002012-11-19T10:46:28.885-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278217370979146102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-18122021618193076532012-11-19T10:46:05.135-08:002012-11-19T10:46:05.135-08:00It just popped in my head.

I HATE when that happens, so what I do is separate the stuff. So right now, i haw a whole "package" full of my art supplies. Than folders full of my past years of school :/ I love looking at the stuff, but now there is like no space for it :( Now, I keep them in the folders. I have a special space for them, And same for my art supplies, I mean i still use them :) So, today I'm going to clean up my room, and hopefully I'll have more space. ALSO, Wendalin Van Draanen, "Jolts of Someday," could be a good title of a book, I just popped up in my head :) Hope you like the idea!<br /> ~Irah<br /> or<br /> IsabelIsabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278217370979146102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-12868299921750560152012-11-19T08:57:26.121-08:002012-11-19T08:57:26.121-08:00I'm with Connor.

Granted...there have been threats to remove it when I'm not around, AND it is a dust collector AND none of the components in it actually work anymore...BUT it's the reminder of the musical memories that keep it in its rightful place. Just find a corner for it until Connor has a place of his own to keep his childhood memories. I love this blog, and how you can take cleaning out a garage and turn it into a great discussion topic.Caradith Cravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949880810408938050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-71903727347793278702012-11-19T07:42:25.442-08:002012-11-19T07:42:25.442-08:00Agh!

Me and my...My mom doesn't let go easily either. Me and my older brother tried to clean the garage but then my bro refused to continue because he said be refused to throw anything away. My mom used to run a daycare like 10 years ago so we have all these old toys and kid books and stuff like that in our garage but she claims she could put it to use or start it again or if relatives with small kids visit but it's really just taking up half out garage. I mean i found a box of magazines that were like 15 years old. And clothes. We need to get rid of so much but its so hard. And it seems like right when you get rid of something you need it. <br />The only video games we have in our house are antique also. We have a NES (Nintendo entertainment system), a gameboy color, and a Nintendo 64. 1983, 1998,1996 in that order. The first one is like the first Nintendo. WAAAAY older than me. It's almost 30 years old. And we actually still play them. I mean Star Wars Pod Racers can never get old. So we need to take another trip to Goodwill and NOT buy anything... but maybe if we move we'll get to the organizing. Right now everything is fine where it is... <br />--YusaYusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-30000880827241143222012-11-18T22:53:07.392-08:002012-11-18T22:53:07.392-08:00I feel the same way! I keep getting things that I ...I feel the same way! I keep getting things that I feel will have sentimental value, and it does. Unfortunately, I'm a naturally messy person, so it just becomes a bunch of clutter! When my parents suggested moving, I bawled my eyes out. I couldn't fathom permanently living anywhere else, and it was a time of huge change. For one, I was heading off to college! But we ended up not moving, and I was glad for a while, but now I wish we had. In fact, it would've been great incentive for me to get rid of a bunch of things.<br />As a kid, we had those book sales, and Scholastic catalogs, so I have boxes of books. Most of them I have not actually read, ever. Recently, I've been on a quest tp acquire all the Sammy Keyes books in the series, and all of Dr.Seuss's books because they remind me of childhood and are ultimately enjoyable to read. Sometimes I feel like I need to stop buying things because I'm slowly, but surely running out of space. Eventually, most of it will overflow into the basement(my equivalent to the garage). Actually, I have two large black garbage bags filled with my stuffed animals. My dad always threatens to toss them out and we always argue over it. They mean so much to me. But when I think about it, they're in garbage bags and I haven't taken them out since they've been put in the bags. Maybe I'll just keep the few that I cherish the most and get rid of the others. It's so hard because they'll always be some sort of memento or keepsake.Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706765937371018938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-25129535222517478612012-11-18T22:51:09.178-08:002012-11-18T22:51:09.178-08:00Hey Connor....

I wear it when ever I can, especially when he is on a fire because it smells just like him. <br /><br />And hard thing about that house is that my older sister moved in with er family when we moved out, and while it is still great to go there and close my eyes and remember, the house looks so different that it doesn't feel like that house anymore. <br /><br />I might have to take the idea of keeping small things. <br /><br />Ky<br />Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837543024870687967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-69695094749471775212012-11-18T21:27:17.017-08:002012-11-18T21:27:17.017-08:00Kylie, I've found (over many years) that we ju...Kylie, I've found (over many years) that we just need little reminders. Pictures are wonderful, but even just a few small things help us feel connected. For example, I have one of my father's ties. It's a skinny tie, from, like, 30 years ago. It reminds me of him and makes me happy to wear. It's really all I need. That one thing. And some pictures. And BTW, I know what you mean about moving. I hated leaving my "childhood home." Even if the new house is better, there's nothing like your childhood home.

I always think about that maybe this person would want it or I could just fix it a little an it won't be broken anymore. I have four drawers in my room that are full of knick-nacks. Old glitter pens that exploded in my backpack, small toys that I got from fast food places, broken toys from gift bags, pieces of paper that have some old drawings on them. And while I do not need any of it, I can't get rid of it. I don't know why. Every few months I tell myself that I am going to clean out my drawers, and I try, I really do, but I only seem to get rid of the really broken things or give a toy off to whatever niece or nephew present at the moment. <br /><br />I think this is because I have a hard time letting go. When we had to move, I laid on my bed for half of the day under my blankets crying because I didn't want to move because that was the house were I learned everything and the new one didn't have that. (Great guys now I am crying). I didn't want to let go of all of those memories that happens there. Sitting on my sisters Barbie airplane and using it to rid down our hallway, pretending to be Indians and cutting my leg open, teaching my nephew how to crawl. Everything I had ever known was at that house and I didn't want that to change. But it did because things change and that can't be prevented. And sure I don't have as many memories in our new house as I did our old, but some are still as great. <br /><br />Sometimes I think I need to realize that letting go helps you move to bigger and better places. (Figuratively and Literally).<br /><br />Well now that I have had a good cry, I hope you all have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving. <br /><br />KylieKyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837543024870687967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-74777785676069901762012-11-18T21:01:39.271-08:002012-11-18T21:01:39.271-08:00My moms a great organizer too,and she fits a lot o...My moms a great organizer too,and she fits a lot of stuff in one box!
