I must say that mine is not allowed in the house, although it does try to break down the garage door. I've tried putting it on a diet, but that hasn't been working.

Because I though I had one, now I think I have six! One in each room of my townhouse. It's like I go to straighten up a room and by the end of the day one of these monsters has come and filled it up again.

We all know that an interesting inventory is necessary to keep customers coming back. You do such a great job of making things interesting. I am sorting, downsizing and cleaning and I think the twin to your Monster has been visiting me. I'm finding stuff I forgot I had and that is just in the garage. Good luck in controlling your Monster.

To make matters worse, my hubby also has a monster that requires pole buildings and garages as feeding dishes. I keep trying to put mine on a junk free diet by putting the junk in hiding places, but he tricks me into stopping by his favorite junk food shops and he knows I'm weak & can't say no every time. So in comes more junk. He's even tricked my dad into feeding his cravings with wood furniture! I keep hoping for a purge soon from all his binge eating.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562337478486768639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-80152224635370979682013-03-13T15:58:26.376-04:002013-03-13T15:58:26.376-04:00I feel your pain.

I moved the sewing/craft stuff to a bigger room with beautiful cube storage and a big closet only to find that less than two years later, I've managed to crowd that one, too.

I also agree with a lot of the above comments, you are showing us what some 'real women' have behind their creativity. Stashes, stashes and stashes! Thanks Brave Donna for sharing with us.

One day future generations of bloggers will be telling the tale far and wide of Donna and the Monster, a modern day David and Goliath. You might need more than a sling shot though. Maybe Mels's pink boots would be to the Monster what daylight is to a vampire.

Actually I waste too much time doing that and not doing anything to cross something off my lists. Anyway, they also make me feel like a hoarder/sloth. I appreciate seeing a real lived in house and someone with a room like my crap room (and garage, and basement, and shed. Thanks for showing your dirty little secret.
