Are you a hoarder or a pitcher?

 Unfortunately, I am a hoarder.  I hoard scrapbooking supplies, of course.  But, dh and I are remodeling our kitchen and I have discovered that I hoard everything!  Either that or I'm just really disorganized.  There are so many things in the backs of cabinets that have gotten too old.  We found about 10 different packs of flavored cocoas...all partially used.  I guess they get shoved to the back during the summer and then I just buy more.  It's a sickness, I tell you!  Don't even get me started on the hair products and make-up that I cleaned out of our guest bath so we could redo it, too.  It's just scary!  I need help!

 I am such a hoarder. My husband gets so ticked at me because I don't want to throw anything out, especially scrap stuff. I am afraid to throw any paper scraps away for fear that I may need that one little piece for something. LOL.

 I'm a hoarder.  My father was a hoarder, too.  My mother became a hoarder in her old age.  I often wonder if it was one of the very early signs of her Alzheimer's.

 I'm a Hoarder too.  Know I have duplicates of so much cause I stash it somewhere to use, forget about it & then buy more.  I don't even want to look in my pantry...cleaned it out & organized it a few months ago but now it's a mess again.  Though sometimes being a hoarder is fun when you find something special you'd forgotten about!!  Life goes on even if it's disorganized. ;)

 A hoarder, FOR SURE!!! I just can't seem to throw things away.....I have a backpack filled with all the things from my dd and ds's past school years, scrapbook stuff galore, notes, papers, magazines from 2001 that I keep meaning to pull the interesting articles out of....you get my DRIFT! I can go on and on BUT, I am trying to get better. :?

 I am a pitcher everywhere in the house except for my scrap room.  I figure that I will need it some day and as soon as a pitch it...I will need it.

 It depends on what it is.  I usually throw out most things.  But I can't seem to get enough scrapbooking stuff!!

 I'm a little of both.  I'll hoard and then get tired of it and pitch it!

 That's the best thing about remodeling -- things get cleaned out.  I hate to think what might be in my cupboards.

 you guys have nothing on my friend's husband.  They have stacks of old software boxes (from operating systems that dont even exist any more) and stacks of newspapers and magazines all through out their house and in their bedrooms.  You can barely walk down the hallway.  He grew up on a farm where it was against nature to through anything away.  (you might need it to fix something later).  But come on- newspapers stacked to the ceiling.  ...in the bathroom?  They cant even use their bathtub!  That's SICK

 I hoard to a point. Then I reevluate and either keep hoarding or pitch it.

 Definitely a hoarder of everything.  I am getting better at throwing stuff away lately, but not good enough yet!

 I'm a bit of both. I like to have one of everything just in case I need it someday, but only one. I don't have the urge to collect multiples, just new stuff. :-D
But that's just scrapping, in my home I'm a relentless pitcher!
