Reducing Your Stash I
Stash Diving
Over-accumulation is a common thread in chat rooms and blogs and seems to afflict the majority of paper crafters - and no doubt many other creative people too. We certainly love our "stuff" and often over-indulge to the detriment of our storage, organisation and wallets. Today I want to share a really simple and fun tip for helping to work through some of your items... it's a process I call "stash diving"!

Reach in to one of your many boxes or bags and draw something out. Your challenge is to use as much of the item as you can on your next project (or maybe multiple projects depending on how much you have!) Although it won't make a huge dent in your stash, it will definitely get you started.
