when enough "stuff" is enough...

So what do we do when you get your craft store coupons in the mail and in your emails?  Yep, we go shopping, or at least some of us do.  I have even resorted to only purchasing just the one item that I get 40% - 75% off coupon.  BUT that is not the challenge here.  I know how to be frugal.  I know how to shop with coupons.  I know how to safe big bucks.  

What I have a challenge with is when enough is truly enough?

I have more than enough STASH to make so many things.  I could save money and space if I could just stop shopping.

Sometimes it just takes a different approach to what needs to be done or not done.  I needed to find a reason to stop purchasing more stuff when my spaces are already full and more so.

I made the decision to start reorganizing.  When I started doing this it took me down another road, one that I had not seen before me or even considered.  By organizing and freeing up physical space I felt different.  That then led to no desire to fill the freeing space.  What a new concept.  It was so new and refreshing that I really had to just let it sit and be with it for a while.  I'm telling you that it felt good.  I have gone for two months now and not purchased anything.  This is a true victory!
