I too hoard scraps, but every once in a while I tend to just sort them
out and what I haven't used or plan to use in the future, gets made
into kindling for our wood stove.

In my own case, I see it as a very slippery slope....one great thing
after another can follow you home until the doors to the shop won't
shut.

Sometimes...no many times...you just have to say "No".

Your thoughts?



I have this problem in only one respect: scraps.

I just cannot bring myself to throw away a beautiful piece of hardwood
even if it is a scrap, even if it is too tiny ever to be used for
anything.

My scrap bin overfloweth............

And the fact you can actually part with above mentioned scraps proves
you're just an average pack rat...a "real" hoarder would have a panic
attack trying to sort through or throw away the scraps.

Then again...I've seen what appear to be packrats on TLC's Clean Sweep
who break down sobbing over letting go of some pillow they've had since
childhood. But they do it....eventually.
