What do you have too many of? 

For us, it's coffee cups.

Too, too, many.

Spices. One medium drawer, a three tiered rotating rack with 36 slots and a large box in the basement pantry. So many individual and blends. And they get used regularly. But we could use a different blend for every day of the month and not duplicate.

Starbucks Coffee mugs, the city edition until they started making them look like a cheap dollar store mug.

It seems every occasion brings another mug, or 3, into the house.

Caitlyn collects them, and brings a new one home couple times a week.

I've made her clean out the cupboards once and leave only 6, it needs to happen again.

I got rid of a lot of clothes in the last 2 years.

I wasn't wearing it.

Canned/boxed goods in the pantry. We need to
go through them, and donate all the duplicates.
None of them are out of date.

Also silk flowers in my "flower room" - I'm not
doing as many silk arrangements as I used to do.
I bet I could do four complete weddings with what
I already have.

Husbands. I have too many husbands. One is too many. :P

I don't keep much. We do have too many mugs and we very rarely use them. I think I'll purge them when I next go through the plates/bowls/cups cabinet. My favorite mugs got broke a long time ago so I don't have any sentimental attachment to any of the mugs we currently have.

 DD cleaned out my pantry two weeks ago. Tossed all the stale/expired stuff.

At one point I purged all our coffee cups and had seven dozen to get rid of. It was Christmastime so I tied a bow around a candy cane and a package of instant coffee, stuck one in each cup, and took it to the homeless shelter. They loved it.

 That's an awesome idea!

In Caitlyn's defense, and the only reason I don't just toss them, she makes candles with them, or in them.

I have a friend who insists on getting me a coffee mug (usually a smiley coffee mug) for any and every occasion. I've asked her numerous times to stop with the mugs but she continues. I know she's not hard of hearing. lol I'm soon going to start giving them back to her for her birthday or Christmas. But, now that I've read NJN's idea, I'll just do that!

I really don't have too much of anything else . . . well, maybe purses. I got rid of a bunch of shoes a few years ago. I'm down to just around 30 pair from over 100. But, I just can't seem to give the purses away. lol

I can't part with any of them.wink

Books (and it's not me that thinks I have too many). As I purchased 11 books tonight, The Boy suggested I could go through what I had and sell the ones I've read. Um, that's not how this works. You don't get rid of books, you just get more book shelves.

I just seem to have books and papers all over, that i don't quite know what to do with. I clean up our bedroom but inevitably a pile of books and papers happens beside my side of the bed!

Coffee cups, i am the only one who drinks coffee so i just got rid of most of those. I try to purge as much as possible. I don't like to save things and I am don't keep stuff just to keep it. But even still, it does accumulate.

 You can never have too many books. 

 

However, part of the reason I bought a kindle is that I ran out of book storage spoce.

 I want a library. A room lined with book shelves. Dark wood. Comfy chairs. Big windows for natural light. Oohh, a fireplace would be awesome. I just love being surrounded by the books.

laundry.


There is ALWAYS a pile or two laying around! And for some reason, hubby prefers they be out in the open rather than put back in the hamper. AS far as I am concerned, if it didnt get done during the weekend, I dont want to see the pile for the rest of the week.

Definitely coffee cups, but some I just cannot part with. One was my daddy's, others have some sort of sentimental value.

Shoes DEFINITELY. I have over 100 pairs and right now, can really only wear one pair.no

Clothes.  I literally have a walk in closet that I never go into.  It's FULL.  Haven't worn anything from there in about 2 years.
