PronounsShe/her
Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.”Teddy bear collection (I am technically past the stuff animal age - I just love them and they need a good home.), DVD's / CD's and art/craft supplies (I want/like options).
For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive?Cluttered space/area - I feel guilty of having items and not using - saving replacements for when the current item(s) being used disintegrates. Sometimes the "backup" ends up disintegrating before I get to use it. Saving for a rainy day mentality.
For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer.I have a problem being unsure on a "limit" besides a designated space limitation. I probably still over pack the appointed space and items need room to breathe.
Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive.I have some of my great-grandmother's and godmother's Christmas ornaments in a glass apothecary on our t.v. console year round. I love looking at them but they are rather unnecessary. It just brings back memories of when I was little and great-grandma would decorate for the holiday hanging ornaments from the gold loop trim on the swag of her drapes. She made everything feel extra special with the smallest touch.
