My new one year rule


As of today, I have a new rule.


 Anything I collect, if I haven't used it or worked on it by the end of one year, it GOES.


You see, I tend to lose steam if something sits for too long. My mind changes, my passions go after something else, and then my stock sits. Then when I go revisit it, it feels like someone else's stuff.

 I have the weirdest stuff up for grabs at my garage sale too.

IT ALL NEEDS WORK.


All these poor little lost souls need a creative mind to make them come to life in some unique way.


 So why not hang onto this monster picture and paint it up to become a killer chalkboard like I intended?

Because I don't have ROOM for one perhaps?



 Dodge Dakota soft tonneau cover, like new, all parts there, ex cond.

I admit, I also have some things up for grabs that are of actual value, such as this tonneau cover. It came with my truck and I now have a canopy. I thought I'd like the fun of switching it out from time to time... kinda like a sporty new look just for kicks.

Hilarious. I think I don't need the extra work is what I really think.


 Brand new weather stripping that isn't right for my doors and ALL my doors need this stuff still.
 Did I mention how much I detest returning and reshopping for things? Once is bad enough. Plus, they're 4 years old now.

Oh and those shelves? I have a ton more of them. And they weigh a ton. Super heavy duty. From my last house. 

Why not use them since I need shelves? I'm into my pallet wood season of life. It's an energy thing. 

I have no idea what that means btw. It just felt right.


 I had big BIG BIIIIG dreams for these. Sorry I forgot what they were, you two.


 And just how many headboards does it take to fill a garage? I lost count.

These were going to be made into a cool coat hook panels. All 80ish of them.

 I've always held onto bikes for way too long than feasible. My son grew out of this a YEAR ago.

They come in handy when friends visit but.. you know.. a single carport and all doesn't easily accommodate transportation for all your friends. 1 bike per kid per household. It's the law 'round these parts now.

As you can see, I was pretty relentless today. Nothing but nothing came back into the house again.

Oh! Except for a latte maker thing I had forgotten was given to me. I plugged it in tonite (my deadline for decisions) and it looks like Starbucks may see less of me!

Wonder what the toss off trends will be next year?
