I admit I am a hoarder. I almost didn’t watch this video but now am glad I did. Listening to your reasoning on the stamp purge was actually inspiring. Thank you for an unusual but valuable video!

[@mariangeles76]

I totally agree!

[@darlenegreen1089]

I love the fact that you have your own channel Now. I think it gives you more freedom to do what you wanna do when you wanna do it. I would like to ask you... what do you do with your discards? I teach classes at a Senior center and you know there's never money for xtras. In classes so I was just wondering do you sell them?

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Thank you for doing this video. I did a massive purge five years ago and it took me about 6 weeks. I was sickened by how much product had never been opened and totally forgotten. We won't talk about the money!!!!!! I was burnt out working with companies and doing trade shows. I sold 90% of the items. Fast forward 6 years and I realize my greatest love IS paper!!!! So I am back at it and I have replaced many items but I buy wisely and won't allow myself to get sucked into full sets, buying because it's cute or pretty. I have to come up with 6 recorded/noted ways of using something before I can buy it. I am strict with myself and find this method of staying in control satisfying. I am selling cards so I do need a variety but I am quick to purge as well. I so enjoy my self-inflicted rules. It keeps me focused and on budget. I heard myself in your words as you purged. Again, thanks so much for your insight. Fellow Canadian here - a suburb of Toronto.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for sharing! I’m the exact same.

[@Julie-si3hi]

I find craft supplies so hard to get rid of!

[@barbarahill6365]

Dye inks and alcohol inks work on gel press too. Yes, I can imagine how excited you are for your baby! You've been a nanny,and a teacher now a mom! Congrats

[@bethjackson8727]

Thank you so much for all the info on your process. And a big congrats on your baby bump. Keep us all informed on baby news.

[@StampinBeachTeacher]

I have limited space for stamps too, but it’s 12 bins instead of two. A blessing I know, but it does mean it takes more time to purge and organize. I admire how easily you say, “time to go!”

[@deballen7031]

Well, you've made me green with envy! 😊

[@tonyaLMN]

Thank you for sharing your thought process! That was very valuable to me and it also highlights the lessons we can all learn as we go through our own process! For example, the stamp might be wonderful, but accepting that it doesn't align with what you want to create is a little painful (short term), but freeing because hopefully, we remember that pain and won't repeat the same buying habits!

[@darahoffman7969]

I loved hearing your thought process on purging. I started by limiting my containers. Nothing new unless there is room. But I fall off the wagon now & again. Next is stamp sets. Have been stamping for 20+ years and purged very little. Now I'm overwhelmed and crafting is a chore because I can't find things. Less in this case will equal more. Less supplies = more quality, stress free crafting time. One last thing, I have unsubscribed from many sites to avoid the temptation of their sales and free products I probably won't use. You will be in my head as I go through the stamp set process of categorizing and purging. Thank you!!!

[@kathyf3927]

I've been having the same issues - even though I have catalogued a lot I spend so much time moving things around to find things. I serious look is in my future!

[@bethgintx]

Congrats on the baby! I’ve been following you for years and have taken your technique resource binder class (that I do look at frequently). I love your decluttering thought process and need to go through my stuff ‘more honestly’ this time! I have so many flower sets but hate to color! Thanks for passing on the permission to purge.

[@karenwalker810]

I watched this after your live, and it has been incredibly helpful. I'm about to get new craft room furniture and everything needs to leave my room. I don't want to bring back in anything I don't really love or need. Your process for purging stamps and dies was just what I needed. I wouldn't have considered purging by techniques, but that was also very helpful. Many thanks!

[@1156Treecat]

Yes, would love to see you go through all your stamps. For me it won’t be boring because you make me consider questions I would never think of regarding if I should keep a stamp set or not. 😉

[@kathyf3927]

I can't believe I saw this video today - I've been having such challenges even being in my craft space as it weighs me down. I decided yesterday that it is time to do some painful purging (I have purged many times over the years) and realized it is all the fading colored cardstock (15 yrs old from stampin up) I see immediately when I walk in the room - hello pre-school! And a serious look at punches and embossing folders. If all goes well, stamps will be next (again!). Thanks for the inspiration!

[@anee57]

Can definitely relate to your statement Learn to accept mistakes with your spending & being smarter about future spending If only I’d heard it yesterday I’d be £50 richter today ,I’m a crafting addict we need a crafter anonymous for our addiction 😂😂😂

[@brendaclarkson3499]

Thanks so much for the video it has got the little grey matter thinking on looking at my supplies. I often give stashes to my grandchildrens school and nursery they are always grateful. Congratulations on your news.❤

[@JeanneJordanexteach]

Hi Justine, it's been a while since I watched you. Just been busy making things instead of watching other people make things LOL! I see you are still in Germany and enjoying your art.. This video was so timely because I am in the process of purging for the first time. I laughed out loud when you said you had two boxes of stamps. I probably have 10 and of course it's too much. I got into junk journals this past year, so my whole Journey kind of changed. Mostly, I wanted to reach out to tell you congratulations. Having children is one of the best experiences, in my opinion. It's very exciting that your family is growing. Sending warm wishes, Jeanne J.

[@4BarbaraJ]

Congrats! Thanks for this video. I have purged before but not a deep dive. I do have plenty of space and plenty of cabinets but still so much product that I don’t use. Some I have had for years. I need to make my space more appealing and friendly to me. I will take all the motivation I can find.

[@loristrout4741]

As someone that has bought almost all of my craft stuff after having my house blow up from a gas leak, second hand. Thank you to all crafters that take their unwanted craft supplies to Goodwill and Salvation Army and selling on Facebook Marketplace. We had great insurance thankfully but buying second hand has saved me so much money. Yes I have bought lots that had only one or two things I really wanted or half of the lot was unusable in the end, most were perfectly usable. I did buy a few things and then found rat droppings from storage areas, but that happens when you buy some storage you just can't keep bugs and rats or field mice out of cardboard and some plastic storage systems are not air tight. I have bought yarns that was a mix of cottons, wools, and synthetic. The synthetics will get made into dog blankets for the local shelter and the cottons and wool will get used for my own personal projects(i make mittens, hats,socks, and afghans. I knit and crochet. The only real store bought purchases were for Cricut items and I love my Cricut Maker. I just wish I had known that they were coming out with another just months later. I bought mine from a local Michael's. I wanted a red one to match all my other Cricut accessories however I only had one choice Black. Funny thing it was the Pink one in the box. I reported it to Michael's that someone had switched boxes at some point. They said I could return it and get my money back but they did not have a machine to replace it with.

[@barbborja1910]

OMG! Congratulations! I didn’t know you were expecting, I’m so happy for you! Your purging really inspired me. I have so many things to get rid of.

[@stellaolejar9007]

Congratulations Justine 🎉 what beautiful news. Thank you for sharing your process of purging. It is truly appreciated.

[@CybelsDesign]

I really love you the way you are looking at it, even to i am not a card maker ( junk journaler)

[@teresahall8377]

I love your process for purging and that is something I need to do desperately! Thank you for sharing this.

[@created2bless322]

WOOHOO, Congratulations, Justine! Thank you for this thorough video on purging, something I must do. Again, so happy for you!

[@marjbr9572]

I just purged 20 stamp sets and ribbon because of this video. It was incredibly helpful to know what to ask myself to make that choice. Thank you!

[@deniseledbetter6091]

Thank you for the way you de clutter and purge. I have to do very seriously for the first time. Congratulations on your baby

[@kylieskreationz]

Congratulations!!!!! What exciting news! Enjoy your new adventure with your little one. ❤🎉❤🎉

[@carolengle6920]

Oh boy, I watched this a few days ago and I began to feel guilty about putting off decluttering. I can’t even begin to tell you what I found!! Luckily I have a little bit more room than you but I still have way too many stamps. Thank you so much for your video. Wish me luck with my decluttering 😊

[@lisapetrella3976]

Congratulations on your baby news!!! You look great!!!! Thank you for all of the helpful purging tips!

[@triciamcfarland8823]

I’ll be doing this soon as soon as my craft room is done. I used to have the scrapbox but hubby’s going to build another. I love to purge so it’ll be fun…I hope💖

[@candyclay01]

You are a lot braver than I am on purging

[@NatashaFooteCreative]

I love this Justine - what a great video. Reminds me it's time to do this again too!

[@becnsam23]

Thank you Justine- I really struggle with decided what to purge. I have been gifted stamps that I have not used and feel guilty about letting them go. so thank you!

[@pennefreeman1053]

I’m so proud of you for getting rid of things. You’re so strong!😇

[@call4peace264]

You inspired me to purge. I have stamp sets up to 10 years old that I never used and I finally realized I never will so I’m letting them go. Giving someone else the opportunity to use them feels good.

[@chemistryinbiology]

Where is everyone finding the best place to sell their stuff?

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Congratulations Justin 👶 awesome declutter and purge video ❤ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thank you for sharing this great video. I've saved it so that the next opportunity to do so I will literally be purging with you! I don't have anywhere near as many stamps as you had at the start of this video but my space is soooo very limited that I do need to get a grip and be honest with myself, examine just exactly what styles make me most happy, stop that ' just in case' hoarding mentality and just get on with it. Not easy when I come across something I haven't seen in ages and a whole host of ideas come flooding in as I'm looking at it. Thanks again and a hearty congratulations to you and your husband on you upcoming bundle of joy. Pregnancy used to make me turn into a purging/cleaning/nesting machine and I freely admit that I miss the energy of my youth in that respect. Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing your next video session. Take it easy and have a fabulous day.😊

[@vickyp]

Justine!!!! Congratulations!! you look gorgeous! I will put on your video from the start again so that you can keep me company and motivate me as I need to do some drastic declutter myself... 😂 that's 40 minutes of dectuttering that I haven't done for ages!!! thanks for the motivation and take good care of yourself!

[@justinehovey]

💜💜💜💜 thank you :)

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

We've all made mistakes in our wants -vs- needs. When certain companies have a release I have to take a hard look at can I do the same techniques they've done to make such a cute card? Do I WANT to spend that much time on a card or tag? We can get sucked in by marketing and we may not have the skills to do what was done then we get frustrated. It's hard when you really love a company and WANT the new "schtuff". Thanks for another great video. Congratulations on the new baby.

[@katscards8847]

I just got through purging my craft room best feeling ever I gave all my extra stuff to a lady at work that has two little girls who love it. An extra dies I gave to another friend at work that uses dies my problem is paper I love paper I have so much paper I have a scrapbook paper bin I have paper everywhere very hard to get rid of thank you for your ideas of getting rid of stuff congratulations on the little one

[@nansanfilippo7035]

Yay great to see you, great purging ideas. I’m currently downsizing my craft room and supplies. It feels good.

[@mary-janedowney2833]

Thanks for this video, have been needing to do this for a very long time and you have motivated me! Have started with my stamps today. Have already given a lot of 12x12 paper/cardstock to a Grade One teacher, now to find someone who would like my stamps!

[@kajsa78kajsa]

Thank you for sharing this! Congrats on your baby! ❤

[@jdsaal1992]

Love this video as I now feel free to purge stamps and dies that don't inspire me or I just don't like. Funny how something looks so cool when being demonstrated online but don't really fit in the way I like to make cards. I have several sets I haven't used yet so will put them first in my bin with a date. That way if I haven't used them, I can release guilt free. I've been on a stamp/die buying hold as I do feel I have to use what I have first. Sentiments are my weakness so I try to limit what I buy. Love your thought process during your purge.

[@lindatobitsch7291]

[@mia707]

I’m a new Justine fan. I definitely need to get brave enough to let go of items I’m not using enough. Just finished reorganizing and it took weeks. I certainly can’t do it again. You’ve inspired me to at least move things out when new are coming in. Thank you for making it seem easy.

[@MLB021285]

Awesome video, thank you Justine! I do need to purge as well since I have limited space, too. I own a scrapbox the previous brand box model. I also want to make some room for one of your mystery boxes. Being German I can only buy American stamps used since the shipping from the U.S. and Canada is so expensive, so I‘m really thankful for the opportunity. I will give birth to our third child next week, so I hope I won‘t miss the announcement. Congratulations to you and your husband. I hope everything goes well.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much. I don't plan on sharing much on social media though about the baby, it's just not something we are comfortable with.

[@sulyco4380]

Congratulations on the baby..... So excited for you. A comment re stamps. When you are sorting out your stamps, you can always separate them out and keep some of a set but not all. I do this unless they belong to a stamp and die set. then I keep them together.

[@happyheidishow-2s268]

Thank you for sharing your thought process. I am about to do a significant purge. I can still close the doors on my storage cabinet, but things are getting too difficult to get in and out easily. I tend to keep the supplies that I have used often, but I've never thought of asked myself if I've used it enough. Thanks again.

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

It's a hard thing to force yourself to purge! I went thru 2 major purges in the past 2 years... one because the Heater broke and mold hit the house!! The second time was by choice. But now I'm regretting some of the items I purged!! I too have limited space, but it is spread between a bedroom and a laundry/ sewing room plus a hall closet for storage. The house is too chopped up and I wish it all was in one place! Best wishes to you!

[@deballen7031]

I know your pain. My supplies are scattered around the house, too. It can be sooo frustrating.😔

[@justinehovey]

I don't find it hard because I've done it so often and as I mentioned if you do it once a year or once every six months, it gets quicker over time. It's all about the mindset and getting yourself in the mood to do it. The feeling when I'm done is something I look forward to!

I'm a hoarder who is trying to heal and I'm decluttering gradually but I still have so much stuff!. I'm also a creative person who does several crafts and have cut back items so much. But I still have too much. I have a lot of yarn in the same weight. So I've decided to make some blankets. Because blankets are always useful in winter. That will keep me occupied and use up my unused stash.
