In the Attic

A personal story in the experience: I Love Finding Old Treasures
 Whenever I go on a "purge my junk" mission, I end up finding little treasures. An old photograph, a small note, an old greeting card, a doodle or little sketch, a ticket stub, whatever...

I love the instant memory that gets triggered when this happens. It is exhilarating :)

Oh I can so relate to this. The purging of junk mission becomes a rearranging of junk mission.

I just love finding those little treasures, and most of the time, I use them when I do scrapbooking.

that is an excellent idea, Bella! Instead of sitting in a dusty old box taking up too much space, I should turn it all into art. Then at least it is serving some kind of purpose. You just gave me some great inspiration! thanks :D

Yap, that's why I do it, otherwise I'll end up loosing those little treasures (some of them are precious)...so that way I can keep them and it makes great souvenir!: )

I am in the process of going through my things to move into my new art room, and I think there needs to be a drawer in my organizer unit, just for those kinds of treasures....an inspiration drawer! :D
