Use Your Hoard

Starting in 2015, I'm challenging myself to USE MY HOARD, and I'm inviting you to join me. The idea is to work my way through all the different supplies in my crafty hoard to see which ones

1. are useful to me
2. fit my style
3. are fun to use.

Those that don't make the cut will be cleared out. I want my stamping hoard to make it easier to fulfill my crafty motto, which is Do Simple Things Well.

Here's my random list of supplies and products to use. It's long and might take more than 2015 to complete to my satisfaction, but that's okay. I'm looking on this challenge as both fun and productive, not as a trial to get through by an arbitrary deadline.

    I love your list! I have pretty much the same stuff but have started collecting Project Life cards now too :( I love the idea of de hoarding as I have got to get rid of some of my stuff. Thank you for your encouragement.
