My Scrap Room is almost empty...

Yes, the re-do has begun and the room has been emptied out and partially painted already. I now have to decide what will come back in and what will be tossed....this is the part I'm going to hate to do because I can't stand to part with any of my stuff. I have so much paper and alot of money invested, so I really hate to get rid of any of it, but I know that there is probably some that I will never use even though it was purchased for a reason, but the reasons do escape me now. I guess I'll just do it a little at a time and see what I end up with...definitely will toss the scrap pieces as I find myself not really using them ...that's one big box deleted. What is a girl to do??!!
Of course, first I have to put together all my M's cubes and reinstall my shelves, then I can see how much storage I'm actaully going to end up with...the room looks big emptied out but once I start putting stuff back in, it is really small...I think it measures 10x11 plus a small closet with shelves that need to be purged of things also. I may have taken on a task that will take me to Christmas to complete...ugh!!! Guess, this is what I get for collecting stuff more frequently than I use it.
The other side of this project is that my DH has severe carpel tunnel in his right wrist and he can only paint for so long before his hand gets to hurting so bad that he can't hold the brush (when painting the trim that is). He's going to the doctor today and they will schedule surgery soon...but until then the painting is slow moving. It'll probably be the weekend before the entire room is painted, but like I said previously, I have so much to go through that he can just take his time because it'll be days before I can get stuff organized to move back in.
My laundry is calling right now, so better get moving....housework will be next then the sorting will start...oh the life of a crafter!!
