I am so relieved that everyone did not take one look at that photo and say- what a kook- all those props piled higglety pigglety all over the place....<br />Today I made great progress- I got to the window! I moved the dollhouse on the desk and the table in front of the desk and took down one set of shelves in the way....<br />Sadly, my den and dining room are full of boxes of barbie stuff- props, clothing, dolls, little tiny accessories, fabric, floral stuff, foamcore sheeting walls that are for temp dioramas and cannot be thrown away, cars- um, I counted four without the camper! (the horrid part is I am always on the lookout for cars- the volkswagon I got at a sale for $2 so now I'm addicted.) Hoarding or collecting?? I dunno...I just know I can't live without my dolls! When I get up in the morning I usually have some photo or prop or doll that needs its photo taken or tiny food that needs to be made, and so on. The BEST part apart cleaning up is finding props you forget about and it'slikeChristmas all over again...<br />Vanessa, the doll room needs new tile flooring as the old is coming up...I'm waiting to redo floors in my house once we get back on track. It is such a huge job and the cost is going to be difficult to come up with. Who knew flooring could cost so much?<br />Smaller places- I have asked myself that question - but then I keep buying more! In one week Scarlett Ohara in the white gown, mini american girl doll, Victoire Roux lottery doll, all arrived. go figure!<br />Night Owl- the mini accessoriesand 'found' rement drives me nuts- the little pieces scatter like bird seed!<br />Muff, like youradvice...now if only I weren't somessy- guess I'm just a hoarder of dolls!lol<br />Phyllis..don't worry there is support and online shopping to hide our urges and craft store discounts that we hide from well meaning family who go- not another doll! Not more foamcore- WHAT are youbuilding now???Lisa Neaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06300989092160836635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-733925242907094382014-09-09T03:40:17.284-07:002014-09-09T03:40:17.284-07:00Not me, no, I am not hoarding, I am collecting! I ...Not me, no, I am not hoarding, I am collecting! I have that same feeling too! My doll room is in disarray as well. But making tiny steps of progress. My worst thing is all of the materials -- like cardboard, foamboard, etc that I have waiting for a project!

I am in the middle of the process of organizing my doll room too, and I find it very hard to get everything in order, especially the little accessories.

I've been asking myself the "hoarding" question lately because there's so much dusting! so many projects!<br /><br />But also so many tempting things that cannot be ignored!<br /><br />Every time I think about cutting back on something, I feel like the cutback wouldn't last.Smaller Placeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920553947009088392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-62956954167951260252014-09-08T13:42:45.041-07:002014-09-08T13:42:45.041-07:00As I read your post, a Michael Jackson song kept p...As I read your post, a Michael Jackson song kept playing in my head. "You are not alone. I am here with you..." I have the same drama going on over here. On top of the doll room being in disarray, I had new flooring put in, so the rest of the house is now in disarray, too. I feel you girlfriend!
