Then, it sort of got under our skin, the way some one these people lived, and got us thinking about things we hang onto with no rhyme or reason. A month of watching Hoarders and bam, we went thought our basement and got rid of everything we didn't need or use.<br /><br />Angela @ The Bookshelf MuseAngela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-17380562603160857072011-08-10T14:40:08.779-05:002011-08-10T14:40:08.779-05:00Wow, if you were moving, you'd be all set with...Wow, if you were moving, you'd be all set with all the boxes you'd need! I save smaller boxes, the ones I can mail my books in. I also save all the broken eyeglasses I've had for the past three years or so. I'm always losing my reading glasses, so I buy them at the dollar store and stock up. They're cheap and break so easy, but I've been saving them to make a collage or some crazy piece of art! I must have 30 pairs! I hoard old manuscripts, too, and have a couple boxes of them and other papers waiting to shred, but I never find the time to do that. I hope you're enjoying the new air conditioner!LynNerdKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167392990015741278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-3373763045214066662011-08-10T11:06:58.034-05:002011-08-10T11:06:58.034-05:00Bish, your post had me laughing as I tend to "...Bish, your post had me laughing as I tend to "collect" boxes, too (eek, I never use the word "hoard"--that would be too scary). My motto is: One never knows when one might need a nice box. Especially around holiday times. I bet it felt great to clean up and get rid of some of that cardboard. ; )Cynthia Chapman Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408985785062180536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-61039964320561536262011-08-09T14:59:13.223-05:002011-08-09T14:59:13.223-05:00LOL I can't wait to tell my husband!

We've got a bunch of boxes, but nowhere near as many as you. Now I'll be able to tell my hubby my box collecting tendencies are pretty tame. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-54399121524106062372011-08-09T11:50:37.248-05:002011-08-09T11:50:37.248-05:00WOW!
