You sound like me. I tend to hoard anything I think may make something for my garden. I try to get things made during winter for spring and end up with very little because I give them to people who admire them. I think I love creation more than 'having' things. Have fun making wonderful things with your treasures.

Thanks rabidgardener! I, too, collect to create, then give away, or sell. The things that I never got around to creating are the subject of my troubles. I have already created a lot of these things in "my head", so the creative challenge has been met, lol. I need to actually make them or toss the materials.

Mother Nature has not been kind to my yard and garden in the last few years. Between the freak storms and curious critters, I don't have many pretties left out there. I'd like to enjoy my yard again and I'm determined to do so this summer!
