This is the first in a series of videos in which I am taking on the ongoing chore of cleaning up and organizing my craft room, including junk journal and scrapbook supplies.

Collecting tons of stuff is sure the downside of this craft, but it always feels so good when you find just the perfect item for a journal in your massive amount of stash!

I will be watching. I have started sorting and organizing my craft room. I went on a spending freeze last February. Since then I have only bought a wee bit. I can’t wait to see your progress as you figure out your room.

I thought I was the only one😂. I feel your pain and will watch your journey with a hope it will inspire me!

I've heard that, but I have a really hard time getting rid of anything!

Yeah, this reminds me of what I was like. I get dopamine from shopping so I was doing way too much of it. I stopped the shopping and now I get dopamine from taking pictures during my photography walks with specific subjects or colors or themes in mind (it’s a lot like shopping) and during day trips or road trips so I can put the pictures or draw the pictures in my travel journal. I also love taking pictures for my nature journal and journaling in nature. Using a camera for my hauls gives me the same dopamine without the stuff, plus I have a record of my day, which is nice.

That's a great replacement for shopping! Cooler weather is coming, so I'll be doing more outdoor activities and less shopping!
