Organization?

For the past 2 days I have been trying to clean out my craft room. Most of the stuff in there are scrap booking supplies  that I have collected over the past 13 years. So you can imagine that some things are very outdated. I have been doing digital scrap books on the computer for the past 2 years and decided to get rid of a lot of "stuff" that I have never used and will probably never use. How easy does that sound? Well I found out that it was not easy at all. After 2 days I ended up with ONE bag of garbage to throw out! I just re arranged everything! I thought to myself, "maybe I will get back into this scrap booking thing" or " maybe the girls will want to do it someday" or "maybe I'll just finish that idea I had for a layout years ago"!!  Like, Get Real! I never was very creative and I don't think I have even made a page in the past 2 1/2 years.  I just enjoyed thinking I was creative and I enjoyed buying supplies for "when" my creative juices would start to flow.  All these supplies are in a spare bedroom, mostly in boxes in the closet but also on tables. My original idea was to clear it out so that I can use the closet to store out of season clothes or to actually turn the room into a "real" bedroom for guests, but alas, it remains a storage room and closet full of "stuff" that I probably will never use. I need someone to help me go through it all again and help me LET GO!
