For the More Than Words July (Main) Challenge: Discover & Stash

Discover made me think of maps, right away. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something. After that I didn't really have a plan, I just went where my stash led me.

Stash:
Clipboard - I don't know how old it is, but I've owned it for almost two years now.

I think Tea Dye was one of my first Tim Holtz ink pads I bought! Way back when I wasn't sure what "distress" really meant, but hey, "this Tim Holtz fella has stuff to make new stuff look like old stuff!" My husband could actually make a pretty good case claiming Tim was an original "supplier" that got me hooked leading to an entire spare bedroom being filled with paper craft related items! I love Tim Holtz so much I have hoarded his papers waiting for just the right time. I have been working on accepting the fact that it's a lot more productive to make the right time myself rather than expect a sudden epiphany. Plus, I'm having a much harder time remembering EVERYTHING I own...so if I can't even remember everything, how will I ever use everything?

Anyhow, all but 11 of the items on the product list are at least a year old (and that includes adhesives, the 3D Gel, the wax & such), of those 11 items, I think 5 have "appeared" within the last 6 months.

I used as much from my stash as I could, and I can't tell. You'd never know anything was "missing." I tell myself I should stop buying until I get my stash knocked down, but every time I think that something new is released & I realize I need to just stop thinking nonsense and do more projects!
