When it came to my art supplies, I became frozen.
All of the little found objects that I had been saving for the "maybe one'days", the little pieces of nature, the stacks of journals with writing, sketches, and such.
Paper sack of bird feathers? CAN NOT THROW OUT!
Dozens of plastic doll faces? CAN NOT LET GO!
Sequins? String? Fabric? Those clearance jewelry molds?! NOPE! NOPE!

Jack was very understanding.

But imagine my giggly embarrassment as people showed up to help load the truck and toted 13 boxes of "art supplies" out of the house, multiple torsos, heads, and arms made of paper mache, 3 easels, and a gaggle of canvases in various stages of completion.


(and feel free to confess your sins too, Quockers.) :P

Signing up...and will be back..LOVE IT> thatnls Queenie of Queens.

I can relate so well..I have the same love for my stuffff. and when I moved from and "our 4 bedroom big house" , to a simple bachelor pad years back...I had some of the same trepidation about my pieces of broken glass, 50 lumps of sculpting clay that will be something someday, canvases and frames I had collected from garage sales I was going to repair and paint over, from 1" sg. to 10ft X10ft.

What made my friends and the movers have that pained look were the crates of rocks from all my travels.

I'll be back, The people that pay me expect me at work today..Pffft..later gator's
