Crazy Jeanie's!!!!! Everything Must Go!!!!!!!

Many (well, 6 or 7) months ago when I was about to jump in with both feet, Consultant Sean posed some tough questions to me as I asked for his help. How far was I willing to go for this? Was I willing to max out my credit cards? Sell belongings? I said sure, but I didn't know if I meant it. It just seemed kind of... I dunno, a little crazy. I didn't want to end up living out of a van or anything just to make a movie.

But as I haven't thought about anything else for what seems to be a very long time now, selling stuff seems like no big deal, because I am not a materialistic person anyway. Clearing out my studio, I totaled up over $2000 of framing supplies alone that I had stockpiled. So I inventoried it and put it up on Craigslist. I've sold about half of it so far. Then I started digging into my art supplies. This morning I sold all my Sennelier Pastels & paper. Later this afternoon a college student is coming by to look at my drafting table. Last month I sold my entire darkroom set-up.

Now I am rummaging through closets and even starting to eye up furniture. What else can I get rid of? When ebay first started, I had a brief addiction to bidding on stuff, so this is like the opposite. It is kind of fun, but I have already learned to price things a little higher than I hope to get because the first thing Craigslist shoppers do is try to talk you down, even if it is the deal of the century.

If I can sell the table today, though, that will be about $700 for the week, and I still have more junk and supplies to sort through. That more than pays for what I had to spend at Home Depot to renovate my studio into my office (though it doesn't begin to touch what I just paid for this new computer...) It is good for my feng shui to get all this unused clutter out of here, I feel more focused already.
