I guess I'm not the only one who struggles with this! My sticker collection morphed into a way to encourage my students on their papers/tests. So, I'm sure there are some that are still around. Although, I'm not sure whatever happened with the Lisa Frank ones. :) I'm sure I'll find them in the next few weeks. Thanks, Jill!

Seeing mountains of paper go into trash bags makes me unbelievably happy. I have no room for clutter in my life (or in my apartment), and I feel very accomplished when I can go through old things and throw them away. I keep things that really do mean the most to me, but I figure if I haven't needed something in the past year, chances are I'm not going to need it in the future. And, the more you throw away, the less you have to move. Having said that, I do enjoy the memories that come back to me as I purge. I finally got rid of my old sticker collection a year or two ago, and it made me a little bit sad to remember the two of us on your living room floor, our stickers spread out as far as the eye could see, as we made trades and bargains for different stickers.

One thing that came to mind as I read your post is that at least we now have the technology to eletronically scan mementos that we think we can't part with. Something tells me that if I took the time to do that, I probably wouldn't go back to look at the files, but maybe it would make me feel better.

And that helps me to think of it as putting things in perspective, too. It is so easy to get focused on ourselves. That’s awesome.
