Sometimes, the best part of moving is getting rid of old things you've held on to for far too long. Other times, it's the hardest. Today I'm combing through old sketchbooks deciding which to keep and which to toss. The few that are mostly notes (such as the one I used in my grad school weaving class—loved weaving, but until I can find/house a loom . . . ), but the others, well, they're filled with all sorts of little doodles and ideas that might be helpful again, one day. How long do you hold on to old sketchbooks? And when you do toss one, why? I'm typically not overly sentimental about stuff, but I can't help but worry I might toss the wrong one, or regret tossing any of them down the line. Can you tell I'm not great at making tough decisions?
