Survey #236 Full Response from Celina
| Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.” | Acrylic paints. I have two tiny sets I've merely begun using, and one huge I bought (because it was on the discount). Recently I bought another medium-sized (yes, another discount). Also, a bead-collection. Gayle could say 'one can never have too many beads', but it's a different matter entirely when I haven't used them in a year now, because no time for crafting and I use them occasionally to embroider dolls clothes. |
|---|---|
| For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive? | The speed of buying vs. using them up don't mathematically match... |
| For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer. | For beads - one box with tiny compartments should be my limit. Instead, I have several other small extra boxes. It's a little insane. As for acrylics - one, or max two sets, because - yes - they do expire. |
| Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive. | n/a |
