But I only had about 3 years that they had to sit around unused!<br /><br />I agree about the kink in the system. One thing that helps me to just give boxfuls to the Goodwill is thinking about some poor person coming upon a real find there, and how happy they will be to get such a bargain. But often I feel I must first send an e-mail to all five of my kids and say, "Does any of you want ____?" and they are usually silent (even though most of them are married with children and I can't understand them not wanting to fill their houses up with stuff) so then I let my husband cart the things off, which he does very fast before I can reconsider.<br /><br />I was about to say that I believe in you, Frances - but then I read Angela's comment and I thought that I also believe in MAGIC - it could happen!! And if the two of you got together, you would have a wonderful time... but I don't know how your attic would end up.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-48187585699581159452013-01-05T18:37:53.190-08:002013-01-05T18:37:53.190-08:00I saved my childrens' special toys and now my ...I saved my childrens' special toys and now my grandchildren play with them. Whenever one of my children sees them they say, "Ah, I loved that toy!" Warm fuzzies all round! I'd keep the special ones boxed up in the attic for such a day as this. It will come! <br /><br />You sound like me and my desks. I have four where I never sit. Anytime I write or paint, I do it at either the kitchen or dining table. My desks are for organizing my various things. They make me feel organized anyway.debbie baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479699000203333679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-66158067072951676252013-01-03T14:17:02.927-08:002013-01-03T14:17:02.927-08:00The year of the attic.

Hey, I think you could write a book about this!<br /><br />I looked up the books you mentioned over at my blog and the library only has The Right-Hand Shore (but it is is your favorite so yay!) I put it on hold. One of my book clubs is going to meeting every other month so I will have more time to read books of my own choosing which makes me happy!!!Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-56780463121345511682013-01-03T13:01:49.378-08:002013-01-03T13:01:49.378-08:00Why don't you put everything in the attic, let...Why don't you put everything in the attic, let Amy sort it out, and give her REALLY GOOD quilting lessons?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-67693479463366789332013-01-03T13:00:05.616-08:002013-01-03T13:00:05.616-08:00I've posted about Mr Busy's messy bedroom ...I've posted about Mr Busy's messy bedroom exploits over the years. I tackled his room again the other day. And the shoes in my wardrobe. Who knows, maybe one day I will archive the filing without having actually filed it!<br /><br />I would LOVE to see a picture of your desk. I inherited Miss Sunshine's last year and my back/shoulders are much happier for it. You should try it as a work space - it'll be good for you :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-22119788408492327582013-01-03T08:03:19.868-08:002013-01-03T08:03:19.868-08:00I, myself, feel like a paperwork hoarder. I feel ...I, myself, feel like a paperwork hoarder. I feel like if I shred an important paper (years old mind you)that I will somehow need it the next day. I also have some boxes of my kids' old toys in my garage that not only have nostalgic value to my kids, but to me, as well. Sigh...I had forgotten about those boxes, but now I guess I have to figure out what to do with them. It would be good to let them go.

I think I actually did let out a snicker, but I believe you! A friend who will help in exchange for quilt lessons will surely do the trick! <br /><br />I love the sounds of your office/work space. I want to see it.
