 project inspired by the many beauty gurus here on YouTube where they go through and use up and decide if they like or not beauty supplies. In my case we're doing it with art supplies and COVID really kind of put a big cut up want to punch into my efforts but you know we're we're working it out anyway now this month I have to admit my little pile which is in front of me of stuff I've actually used up like in the past couple of months is small because at some point I just went through things and said you know I don't even like this I don't even want to use it up it just needs to go on to a home where it's gonna get loved because it's not gonna get loved here and in the month of August I sold I'm looking at the Etsy store website right now so one two three four five six seven eight different priority boxes full of art supplies eight so mostly medium but I think two of the eight were small so it was let's see one let me see I lost track here so one two three four four of the eight were medium too small and too large that's a lot of art supplies different kinds of things ephemera finish completed art all kinds of random things so much I forgotten if you want to see me packing some of the boxes I usually share it in my vlogs every week when I do pack boxes so you can go back through some of the vlogs and see what I've packed I do have two boxes left in the Etsy shop that I packed in August they're mostly full of like art bags travelers journal type covers some stuff from Shannon greens Etsy shop I love Shannon green and I love her stuff I just have bought some products that I was gonna like paint and refurbishing and then reselling my shop with my artwork on them and I just never did and I don't think they're gonna get done so their listing is in the Etsy shop I'll put it down below and the vlog that I show packing them is listed in the description and I am looking at one of the listings and I'm being reminded that to the two large boxes one was full of mark making tools and one was full of paper punches and I still have a lot of both left because I just had that many the products I actually used up as I used up one of my favorite bit crystals and I have another one downstairs that's just about empty this is a oto feud oh it's a feud ball I used that up that's all dead and a sharpie white paint pen I used up a spool of 20 gauge craft wire I used up a roll of washi tape how often does that happen for you all I used up some tape runner and so many stickers this is just like a small like I'm making an effort to go through my stickers to use them up in projects to pull them out and use them up in a good way don't just use them to use them whether there are stickers that I've created from the Etsy shop are there ones I've bought there some of both here and this is again this is just like a small bit of stickers and decals and things that I've used up I do sell yes stickers in my Etsy shop and again my Etsy shops listed down below but I have a large collection of stickers my own and ones I purchased I do still purchase stickers because I love them and I like washi tape too but I'm trying to use what I have before I buy more because let's be honest I'm gonna end up I more and I usually try to use them in my daily drawing journal so I've used up a lot I think I did pretty good this month compared to last month where I actually used up some stuff yes I did get rid of a bunch of stuff but I also did actually use up some things so you know it is what it is welcome to the apocalypse what are you gonna do I I think for the month of October we are going to try I found a pencil drawing kit from when I used to teach at Michael's kind of forgot I had it so we are going to I think every day for October I'm gonna use the pencils and do some drawings in a little sketchbook and then at the end of the month I'll decide if I like it enough to keep it or not I think that's gonna be part of project pan or it's my style so we'll see what happens I might do it as a special project drawing project to with a bunch of creative friends so stay tuned for that but I'm gonna continue to go through my project those things that I've collected and that are just sitting in a corner sitting in a drawer kind of forgotten and or not used often and I'm either gonna use them or lose them so watch out for more of these videos where I share that process but also purge boxes because if I just decide you know I don't even want to this just needs to go needs to go it's gonna go in a purge box so anyway that's it for this month how have you done whether it's makeup or art supplies or something else I hope that you're keeping what you love and you're not keeping the clutter
