Hey everyone. Thank you so much for all the positive support on this video. (Be sure to check out my favorites videos.)I am glad to see I am not alone. A lot of people have been suggesting doing a giveaway or a destash by at this time I am not ready to part with any of it LOL! As someone said in the comments..... I am a collector. I am going to try to use the supplies more often. (We shall see how that goes lol)

Hmmmm...wonder why YT recommended THIS to ME?! Lol 😂 I know EXACTLY why...BECAUSE MY HOBBY HAS BECOME BUYING SUPPLIES MORESO THAN CRAFTING!!! Lol 😂 I needed THIS video a year ago! Lol 😂 Newbie crafter here who obviously thinks buying what others use in tutorials will AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ME A BETTER ARTIST! Hahahaha 😂 Thanks for sharing! I’ve sold some of the items, but others I can’t seem to part with, yet! 😉 I keep saying I’ll get around to using it ONE OF THESE OLD DAYS!!! Lol 😂 I am living & learning 🙂

Girl you like what you like and that’s how you feel.... don’t apologize! Haters gonna hate because they unhappy people.... FYI I wish I didn’t buy half my craft room now..... lol!

I have a personal rule when I’m buying...I have to come up with 3 or more uses for the product or stamp etc before I purchase or I walk away. It doesn’t always work haha because what the heart wants the heart wants 😁

I suggest you gift these products to someone who would enjoy using them. I buy many supplies, many interchangeable - watercolor crayons, Gelatos, Distress Crayons, Scribble Sticks, Neocolor Il, Vicki Boutin crayons, and Marabu Art Crayons. Two years ago l started hosting Art Sunday’s for 3 adults and my granddaughter (she is eight), I supply all the art supplies and they provide dinner. In two years I have have not run out of any supply except Gesso, and my Students haves great time making art.

Love that you did this. There are so many times I just impulse buy bc something is “cute” but don’t realistically think about whether I will use it or if it’s my “style” or not. Going through your stash like this is a good way to destash and learn from previous purchases to help in the future and even sell some items to get some $$$ back!

Tiffany we heard your hesitation, but you received a lot of love in the comments. Why? First because of the bravery in your honesty, and secondly because every crafter has purchased supplies - sometimes very expensive supplies - that we don’t use. As Susan Myrick basically said, your personal style just doesn’t lend itself to these particular products and supplies. As Ardyce Seabrook said: you like what you like, and as you said: your decision not to use is likely no reflection on the product’s quality. Great video - TFS!👍🏾

Don't ever apologize for your opinion!! I appreciate hearing honesty from my favorite crafters. xoxo

I so appreciate this video!! I have the same problem....I am a collector versus a user. SOOOO many things I don't use. And paper...can we talk paper??? SO much and I STILL buy more! We need a support group to help curb the spending habits!! LOL

You are not alone. I totally agree. You are brave to be honest. Very refreshing. Thank you.

I sure many others have already said, never apologize for your opinion. Being true to yourself is one of our own greatest gifts. I could probably add another 30 plus items to your list! You watch these designers make it look like a walk in the park, and its like this force over powers you saying "i have to have this, i cant craft without it." Thanks so much, everyones opinion matters! TFS ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

It's totally OK to admit a product doesn't suit you, don't feel like you have to apologize, you didn't bash any of the products. I laughed when I saw the distress oxide sprays because I too went whole hog in on them this summer (because I LOVE the pads) and have not found the sprays that useful.

I wish more people would post videos like this, I’ve spent money on more money on items I wish that I had used differently

Hey if you want to get rid of this stuff what about donating to a womens refuge or something like that, they often run craft classes to support working through issues etc. They would love this stuff.

I can relate with your topic. I've accumulated a lot of critter and character stamps because they were so cute. I thought that I will enjoy using them in my cards. But over the years, I gravitated towards florals, geometric shapes, and die cutting. I'm planning to destash them this year. Thank you for sharing 😊

I am in the reality check process as well. Glad to know I am not alone with the buy and not use.....especially with limited space that I have. Thank you.

This pot is thrilled to meet a kettle! Having been a crafter/collector since 1997 you might well image that I have had my fair share of regrets in the items I've invested in over the years. I'm embarrassed to say that many things have been given to Goodwill, offered on my local Buy Nothing group, a few sold at garage/craft sales, but if I'm honest a lot have simply been thrown away. The only "negative" thing I would say to you, Tiffany, is own it. You apologize way too much! You weren't telling all of us to throw these things out and you weren't trashing the products, many of which are wonderful and you clearly state that. I hate that as women we all too often feel the need to apologize for sharing our truth! So my one piece of advice to you is step up and own your opinion after all it belongs to you! I guess I have one other piece of advice ... I read your comment about not being ready to part with any of these things. As your fellow pot/kettle and collector, I get it, but I encourage you to try and let go of something. It's the one thing I've been working on for the past year! I have supplies that I've stubbornly kept because, "I might use/need it one day". Without exception, I have never had that happen and I've been saying this since 2001 (my first cross country move after taking up crafting in 1997). I put stamp and die sets in an annual craft sale I participate in last summer - everything retired so I wouldn't easily be able to replace it - and I have not missed one item I sold. It was terribly empowering and I'm excited for the sale this June so I can pass along some things that I didn't think I could live without but have found that I don't miss in the slightest. So, stop apologizing so much and maybe try to let go of one thing ... this pot's 2 cents! Oh, and a BIG thank you for holding the mirror up in such a direct and honest way. I just stumbled on your video through a YT recommendation and I'm so happy I spent 20 minutes with you today! I'm going to watch a few more (I always do before subscribing) but I think you've added another follower! Cheers!

My only comment...clean your stamps!! Show them some love. I think we all have things we’ve purchased that sit and don’t get used. I saw lots of positive feedback, thanks for your brave honesty! Happy crafting in the new year!!!

I think it is super helpful to have feedback on products you don’t use. Helps us to question whether we should spend our money on them. I watch a lot of beauty videos and those content creators often do a ‘purchase or pass’ video on the new releases that come out and I do enjoy those. I have so many products and some I don’t use much at all. I used to buy all of the new colours of stampin’ up markers and now I don’t use them as they have been replaced by my clean colour real brush markers, especially as I don’t have the matching card stock now. I have been dying to have the liquid watercolours but I love my Daniel Smith and Altenew watercolours. I buy loads of interactive dies but haven’t used any of them at all! I have totally avoided the Project Life and Planner trend. Not my cup of tea. I totally get why that staycation if not useful.

Appreciate the honesty and love to hear all sides of things. You could do a destash sale

Tiffany Solorio I agree with you. Just started mixed media and have bought stuff they used on a project. Sometimes can't find the video again and don't use the product. Some things I bought and used and don't use that much. Waste of money I agree. Great video, thanks so much. It's great knowing I am not the only one who buys and doesn't really use it or don't use it as much. Great video.

I think any of us that are excited & passionate about paper crafts get sooooo many ideas when we see products that we just ‘have to have them’. I’ve discovered that all ideas are great & inspiring ..... but if they don’t fit our style then we use them for a few specific projects & that’s it! We all have ‘those’ products, collections & tools that were not a good investment for ‘us’. Thanks for your openness & honesty on this issue. 🌸💜✨

Fuse tool! The thing that got me into card making is the one item I never use!

Thanks Tiffany for your honesty. I think all crafters are guilty of buying things that they never or hardly ever use. I think you should donate all the things that you don't use and know that you're bringing joy to someone else. Life is all about admitting our mistakes and learning from them. Maybe all of us should really think more about the reason behind our purchases. Have a great New Year!

This is the first video of yours I've seen and I love your honesty. You aren't knocking any products, you've just recognized they aren't being used. No apologies necesary.

Hi Tiffany, Whether we agree on the products you chose or not....your point is well taken. I've learned the hard way and spent dollars I didn't have to on products I could live without. Having gone, over the years from primitive painting with acrylics to fabric art, to needle felting, watercoloring and now mixed media I have supplies that have overflowed my craft space, into tubs out in the hall. I am now interested in journal making and all the various supplies that go along with them. I love all the various media I've worked in and even taught classes in some of them. So think carefully about all the wonderful art supplies that are out there before you invest in them. My Sister and I used to call it "the gathering". When you discover something you want to learn and do, you have to first "gather" all the things you feel necessary to work on the craft. So you buy and shop and watch for sales and coupons and gather up all your goodies before you even learn everything there is to learn about that particular skill. So take it slow and double think before you add anything to your supplies that you could easily do without or substitute with something else. You'll save money and storage space. Just sayin'.

I so admire your courage, and agree with most of the products you showed. I watch videos and the presenters make it seem so easy to use these products. However, when I buy them I seem to have a block on how to use them. I hope you don’t get too many haters. I appreciate your video.

I’m guilty of such purchases too... anyway, destash these things that don’t spark joy anymore.

You are NOT alone!! I am going through the same thing myself and have come to realize as much as I LOVE other people's cutesy animal cards, I simply don't use them. Be true to yourself, you're entitled to your own opinion and share it as well. It's a maturing process. I'm so with you on the journaling and as cute as the We R Memory Keepers binding and hole punchboard are--along with some phenomenal videos, I know myself well enough to accept the fact it would occupy valuable real estate in my craftroom and I would resent allocating funds I could have truly enjoyed elsewhere. Thank you for sharing!!!

Tiff... I totally agree... there’s just some products that you THINK you need at the moment ... but then reality sets in and you just don’t use them the way you thought you would... I totally agree sweety... I’m happy to hear your honesty.. it’s refreshing ... We love ya girly...

I know exactly why you buy these things. Dopamine lol. I’m a “high” mess at Tuesday morning. Everything is a need. I love everything. Gotta buy everything. Feeeeels so good. Tell your brain no! These Chemicals lieeeee

I don't think you should apologize at all about any of your opinions. That's why there are so many options in the crafting world....everyone is different and loves different products. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. And that's ok. And it makes all of our work unique. I appreciate your honesty. I'm not a big impulse buyer when something first comes out, but I have a hard time resisting a good sale...whether I need it or not! Like you, I can't get into the cute stamps and the scenic sets, but I love what others do with them. And I've bought planners and never really used them. I have to do a BIG purge this year and figure out what I really love. Great video! TFS, Heather

I was like you - buy because it's pretty, buy because I KNOW I'll use it someday, buy because I saw someone else make something beautiful, buy, buy, buy. Then my income changed. My life is fine but I did need to change my priorities. I decided to have a craft day and invited friends and family to come over, create a Christmas craft using all my extra supplies, and take with them whatever they wanted. (I had my favorites and most used items in my craft room which was off-limits.) We had such a fun day, lots of laughs, some treats to eat, and it was wonderful to know that everyone enjoyed themselves and had new craft supplies that they would use. Now, I use everything I have, my craft area is less cluttered, and my mind is more at ease knowing I'm not wasting my money. I'm much more focused on using what I have (which is still a LOT, believe me! LOL!) without spending until I actually run out of something. For me, this was the best choice.

I so agree with you! I have been stamping and making cards for over 15 years and have a large number of items that I wish I hadn't bought! Some of my stamps have never been used, probably Never will! I have finally reached a place where I rethink any purchase and try and sleep on it before buying. Just so you know you're NOT alone. Lol keep doing what you love and love what you do. Life is too short. Huggsss

Don’t apologize! I have a room FULL of items that I had to have & have never used. Makes me sick when I think of the monies wasted! TFS

You brave girl! Thank you. I could actually live without about 75% of my craft supplies. I don't have any of the items you chose for this video, except, I do have "cute" stamps that I never use. I don't make cards for children, and I don't like that kind of card for adults. I also don't use many stamps for scrapbooking, which got me into all the supplies in the first place. I have tried to find places to donate some of the things I use the least (or never), but it isn't easy to find them. I have given quite a bit to a local school's art department. Including an a very expensive accucut die cutting machine (was I crazy?). Good luck getting your craft life into such clear perspective. I think I was happier when all my supplies fin in one suitcase instead of a room! Happy crafting.

One more thing that I hardly use is the Tim Holtz stamp platform, with its separate carrying case. I loved the idea of reinking your stamp and having it hit the same place the second or third time, but as I'm not a card maker I hardly ever use it. I quickly bought it before they became unavailable due to the lawsuit over it, and I think that prompted me to buy it, rather than thinking through if I'd really get my money's worth out of it (I like the earlier comment about asking yourself if you're going to use it at least 3 times, that way it's not a one time impulse buy). I tried using it with my mixed media journals when I was stamping an image, but naturally they're way too bulky to fit into it, and the stamp never did hit the same place twice, so that didn't last long. Thanks for doing this video! These types of video are super helpful to those who are new and starting out building up their supplies. That was the thing that overwhelmed me the most in the beginning, not wondering if I had the skill/talent, but not being sure of what I needed to have for supplies. Everywhere I looked I was seeing different supplies being used, and I overspent on items I hardly use or came to realize I would never use. But then again there is a learning curve and determining what you, as a person, really enjoy doing. There's so many different types of arts/crafts out there, how do you know if you don't try? So there is that part to it, if you don't do something, you can't find out if it's really what you enjoy doing. Lately I've been doing watercolors, and I was sure in the beginning that I wouldn't enjoy it, but I did quite a few Christmas themed pages, and I'm finding I love watercolors. And even there I've found that having a good quality paper and brushes makes a big difference, so, again, even a learning curve when you're doing something you find you really enjoy. This type of video is great, and I'm sure that you're helping people become more focused on what they want to spend their hard earned money on. BTW, Happy New Year :-)

One tool that I just thought I HAD TO HAVE or the world would end (I’m sure you know the feeling) is the fuse tool. I rarely use it. I keep thinking that I need to use it to pre-make shaker pouches so I have them ready to make quick shaker cards

Tiffany we all have tons of supplies that we get excited when we see them, buy them and then they just sit on a shelf. One idea is to Happy Mail some of your friends or subscribers, they would love to receive the 3X4 cards, the stamps, the dies, etc. That is a good way to make good use of it by sharing and freeing yourself from them.

SO GLAD SO MANY APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY, ITS SADLY MISSING. 👏👏👏👏👏

Everyone have their favorites that’s no crime. Time for a yard sale.

I'm with you on the Planners, Tiffany - I have purchased a few different ones and never really used them :(

Don't feel bad as I have my own stash of "gotta have but don't use often (or at all)" items. Thanks for the honesty.

No need to be defensive. You have no idea how good this video made me feel! I've always been one of those "traveling to the beat of a different drum," sort of maker. I haven't bought the items you wish you hadn't purchased, but I often think, "oh I should get (oxide sprays, cute animal stamps, fill in the blank. . . ). It's nice to feel glad I saved the money, so thanks for this video! ~marilee

I literally wasted my money on all the items you showed some exact and some very similar. I feel bad that you were so worried to share but glad you did because I can totally relate. I learned a lot of costly lessons the past two years thinking things would help my creativity but I know now that if you don’t use it your just collecting stuff. Luckily I have realized what I do enjoy creatively and it requires a lot less of this stuff.

Thank you for making this video, I understand what you say, you want the full set. Omg I have sets or organization planners, i don't use. You have this channel and can do destashes, but that is work in itself. I think your not alone in the thought of getting the stuff and than not using it. We all have been there, thanks for sharing.

I'm not familiar with most of the products you showed, however I too have things I purchased and have buyers regret --- wishing I had the $$$ instead of the item sitting on my shelf

I appreciate your point of view. We all lean towards different supplies when we craft so no apology is needed. I've been paper crafting for only 2 years and I think I bought too much too soon lol. I've got some supplies I can't figure out how to use or never think to use. I enjoyed your video

Gilding flakes - love the effect but what a mess!

Love all the small cards from the paper collections! Thanks for Sharing

Good program. I have much the same problem with paper and tools. Appreciated your truthfulness. I do clean my stamps every time I stamp. I also have many stamps I have never used. Hard to store all these things. Thanks!

I am so sorry that you have things that you don't like/use....I have done the same thing. When I gather several things that I don't use I gift them to my crafty friends....what they do with them I don't care or know, lol. I feel good about giving them stuff they don't have and they feel good because they get stuff they didn't have...win, win!!! Lol

Thank you for your honesty. So appreciate your opinion.

I think we all have "crafty" items we wished we did not buy. LOL! I loved this video

I think as crafters you have to figure out what kind of card maker you are and what works for someone else may not work for you. I have purchased so many things I wish I hadn't because it just sits on a shelf or lies in a box. You are entitled to your opinion don't worry about the "haters" just keep making your videos and be honest and true to yourself. Your real fans will keep watching.

Oh Tiffany! You are allowed your own opinion. You were respectful to the companies, very clear in that you weren’t putting them down. If I did you tube and did a video like this I’d be recording for hour and hours with all my stuff I don’t use but thought I needed it lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊😊😊

Don't feel bad. I think we've all purchased something we might not use often are all. I know I hv. Rt now I'm cleaning my craft room and sorting out those barely used things and deciding on whether to keep them or not. Thanks for this video

I feel the same way sometimes... I buy things hoping I will use them, but then don’t. Whatever I don’t use, or is very lightly used, I donate. I donate to my local woman’s shelter. Everyone has different tastes and styles and it is okay not to like everything, use the things you enjoy and discard/donate the rest. 💕

I agree with some of the others.. you feel how you feel and shouldn't apologize for it! We all over buy and sometimes feel regret. We have all been there and go forward by the grace life affords us, hold your head high my dear!! :)

Hey Tiffany, do not apologize. I feel you on that. I agree with most about haters. They find a video, usually on a subject that is unrelated to them, thinks that what the poster did was stupid, and add their own comment just to stroke their own ego. They are miserable, unhappy people. In the meantime, if there are any products you care to unload, I am sure a local rec center, senior center, or school will take them. I could also take them off your hands too, I am always will to try new products in my projects.

I'm so with you on the critter stamp sets. Love the designs but unfortunately nearly never use them.They mostly don't fit my style. Maybe if I had kids...

Wow!! I agree with everything you commented about - I've spent SO much money on things I never use. I really appreciate your honesty. Everything always looks so great on the process videos - but my follow through is very lacking!! I finally learned ephemera, stickers, printables and washitape are my best tools and I really wish the kit developers would make stamps sets optional - I rarely use them. Thanks for helping me to have a little backbone and realize I DO NOT NEED EVERYTHING!!

Totally understand and believe me you are not alone!!! I also have many things in my craft room that I HAD to have and probably have never used!! This year purging is on my to-do list!! And using what I've got!!! TFS!!

LOL Wow, I thought I was the only one with buyers remorse. I love everything I buy but don't always use them. So, I understand just how you feel.

Thank you... I've resisted so many of these products and will continue to do so. I've also bought some and totally agree with your assessment. A very helpful review.

I like seeing these types of videos. Thanks for being brave enough to share.

Hooray for your honesty, it is just too easy to get sucked in when watching videos. At the end of the day you have to do what’s right for you & much like you I need to face up to the fact that I have stuff that has to go. New stuff is being launched all the time but you have to draw the line somewhere, so my New Years resolution is to tidy up my act and just say NO not buying.

It's easy to get caught up in wanting every new craft supply but I've had to stop buying. I have so many lovely supplies and I'm using them every day. Thanks for your video.

You don't have to apologise for having an opinion. You're allowed - it's called free speech. :)

It's nice to see I'm not the only person who's made some questionable craft purchases. I really appreciate knowing there are others out there. I kind of need a twelve step program, with a sponsor to call to talk me out of decisions I might regret.

I totally could have made this video! Except for the Oxide sprays. If I just used them on their own, I would feel the same way, but I always use them with the regular distress sprays, which I absolutely LOVE because there is no shimmer. You saved me quite a bit of money with this video... Squirts, liquid watercolors and the floral coordinating dies have been on the top of my wish list for a while. So, thank you. I also never use my Nuvo stamp cleaner:) I got it to clean my stamps before using the Alcohol Lift Ink, never used... along with the reinker, ALL of the pearls and at least 20+ other colors of alcohol inks, not to mention the Yupo, sparkle cardstock, glossy cardstock, blending solution, the storage tins, and on and on... I was going to buy a blowing tool and I have never even tried to make one background! Not a single one!! I’ll probably get around to it at the same time I start making scene cards with cute critters or clean and simple card designs while jotting it all down in my new planner with the coordinating stickers, pens, stamps... 🙄

Loved your honesty. I also have the same problem with crafting supplies! My weakness is beautiful papers, Graphic 45, Prima, K & Company, you name it, I have it! The companies make such lovely and amazing papers which I love, but, I don't use them as fast as I buy them! And sometimes I don't use them BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! How crazy is that??!!!Brush Markers are my other weakness. Love love love them, especially Tombow but again, I don't use them as often because I reach for some cheaper versions. It's so weird...Again, thank you for your honesty and I also watched Keren Tamir's videos about the same problem and she credited you for helping her be so brave. I have total respect for you both and please keep up the good work! Thanks!!!

I totally get what you say , I have bought so much since 2010 and wow ! It does an can get to be so overwhelming at times . I could go Thur my stuff an have the same feelings about some stuff I have bought . Lol thanks for sharing an being brave and honest about your things you can live without . Inspirational for me .

I truly enjoy your art and candid conversation.

I know this feeling, I have products that I never use but thought I had to have. The Distress Oxide sprays and inks I keep thinking that I should buy but for some reason when I see them I hesitate and you have just made me realize that I really don't need them as I won't probably use them. Thanks for the video. Jeanette, New Zealand.

It had to be hard to make this video, but I so appreciate it! I live in a small, rural town and have to purchase most of my supplies online, and shipping makes them even more pricey. Your opinions matter, and they helped me! I agree with your comments about the planner. I spent a lot to purchase the punch to create my own pages and had a blast decorating planners for two years in a row. Sadly, I just don't reach for them.

They say there’s two hobbies, one is called crafting/scrapbooking/card making and the other hobby is buying supplies. 😆 I’m trying to limit my supply hoarding but sometimes it’s hard.

great video. I am sure that if we are all honest there would be lots of items we bought and don't use. I got rid of stamps and inks that I did not use a little while ago. Yesterday I rearranged and cleaned out more products in my craft room that I don' use- washi taper and stickers.

I think we all go through this, I can’t tell ya how many times I have done the same thing! Thanks for sharing

You are not alone. I absolutely loved this video. HUGS to you for making it! I appreciate your honesty and just became a subscriber!

Once a year my friend hold a crop as a fundraiser for local hospice. Part of the crop is a “yard sale” table of random things where you can browse and you just pay what you think is fair. I often go through my inventory and put things on the table that I don’t use anymore like old stamps, embellishments, paper, and ephemera. If anyone wants to get rid of items but not throw them away, you can send it to me and I’d be glad to add it to the table. All money generated goes to hospice.

Tiffany, you are not alone. I gasped when you put out the distress oxide sprays because I also bought every set and have only used a few a handful of times. I also bought the Pearl inks but have used these quite a bit, I use them on Translucent Yupo paper through a stencil. I place a stencil on the yupo paper then squirt color over these. Let dry then remove the stencil. There probably will be wet areas after you remove the stencil so set aside until the rest dries. Thank you for your honest opinion, there are so many products on the market, and a lot of duplication.

Really good video made me feel a lot better About not having some of the items

I am right there with you!! I have so much product that I love and swear I will use and never do. I am really going to make an effort to use some of it this year though.

i completely understand. I am still fairly new to crafting and in the beginning I went a little nuts buying things that I thought were so great and now I don't use. I still tend to see new products and decide I must have them but thankfully at this point my lack of funds stops that..lol.

Tiffany we all have items in our stash that we wish we didn't buy because it's out of sight and out of mind or we just wanna finish the project that's supposed to be cute/pretty and quick. Please do not feel bad at all, part of being artistic, is doing and using what makes you happy as an artist. Embrace it and keep on keeping on love. Thanks for showing because I haven't picked up my distress sprays in a few yrs lol.

I think as a crafter we all do this. We see other using it and think oh I got to have that lol. But that is where destash comes in because if we don't use it other might love using it. Thanks for sharing. God bless you 💙

Thanks for sharing! I have so many wonderful products that I never use, but had to try. They are collecting dust... I really try to select dies, stamps, etc. that are not themed and will be used often. Thanks again!

I totally agree with the distress oxide sprays, never bought because I really didn’t see a need for them.

Thanks for your honesty. A lot of “us” crafters have a shopping addiction lol. I am much improved but would often have to have the whole set of “whatever” just because it was the whole set. I also try and make myself wait until the next day or so to make sure I really want it instead of impulse buy off of a video. All this to say we are all there with you but time to start saving that money for something else!! The vacations I could have taken... 😂

Variety is the spice of life in the studio. You could make it a goal to use them more of donate them to a school art class as a tax write off. I have many of those products and I do not use them as often as I thought and have donated some of them to my grandkids. Sometimes I go shopping in my own studio and rediscover products I had forgotten. It takes many, many years for products to dry up and there are many ways to reconstitute them. You don't need to apologize for how you feel about something you have spent your hard earned money on. It doesn't matter what other people think.

Thanks for sharing - I think crafters buy a lot of stuff we never use. Maybe we should all have “control” as our word for the year lol. Thanks for Your honesty in saying you’ll probably buy them again. I hope you find a way to just say no for yourself. As for the planners, they’re great memory books. A good destash could help you start the process of buying what you know you’ll use. Don’t beat yourself up. Be kind to yourself.

Great video. I love your honest assessment. And honestly this looks like an opportunity to get your money back by selling these. People do this all the time. I am sure you will be able to find a home for all these. And recoup some of your costs. I am with you on most of these. The Planner Planet is not one I inhabit I am organized not just the Planet Planner way! Thanks for sharing your opinion!

No hate here! Remember that whatever other people think of you is none of your business. You made me think about what I have that I wish I hadn't purchased. Mostly not too expensive stuff and no sets of things until I have tried a few first. Of course, somethings only come in sets and that is where I really stop myself. I have come to realize that most things will not disappear from the universe for at least a year; trends come and go, and like the 'little black dress', classic and tried and true will hang around a long time. We need a massive yard sale!! Thanks for the eye opening, thought provoking video.

I’m sure if we were all honest about buying craft supplies, there’s always those few things we bought we knew we could not live without them! LOLOL...of course only to find out we should have saved our money. I appreciate your honesty and am right there in the same boat. I tell myself I’ll be more diligent in picking out supplies, but it doesn’t always work. 😊😊. Thanks for sharing !!

Why would anyone hate you for letting us know your ideas about product you don't really use? I wish more sites would tell us their favorites and dislikes. Let's face it all of us have spent money on produces we had to have but just never worked out for us. I for one thank you for having the courage to make this video.

I wish hadn't wasted so much money on washi tape and paper pads. I finally broke out of the trance and realized I don't need 100 rolls and 25 pads. I destashed and never felt better🤘

I agree with your choices. You can cover the small paper pack cards and make journal cards with them. The sprays are nice but I don't use them as often either. I use the stamp pads and re-inker more

We learn by trial and error. I keep trying to use alcohol markers. I do okay but after realizing Copics were too expensive I started trying other markers and found I like the Ohuhu markers from Amazon. I'll never be great but simple blending works for me and I'm okay with that. Thanks for your honesty.👍

I'm a scrapper/project life/wreath maker/floral designer/thrift store rehabber/jewelry maker/cross stitcher/diy..etc. Needless to say I have had allot of crap I never use. I end up donating them to organizations, give them to my fellow craftee family members/friends/ take them to crops to exchange with other scrappers, or I sell them when I attend festivals as a vendor or put together a basket for a giveaway in order to get their emails.
