Skull Rings - SOLD OUT!
except there are few left for Pirate Diamonds here
or carnival type metal rings, here
Nothing like cross bones and skulls and anything poison to entice me a s kid! I still love poison labels from old bottles and pharmacy ephemera! And I saved a few of these skull rings for myself. These were left over from a little ones pirate party and were used for pinata filler.
However the pirate coins were much more popular for some reason and so there were many of these rings left over.
These sold out quickly and most of them went to a wife for her husband's 30 birthday party, who is a rum lover and his party has ended up turning pirate themed! My guess it all started with Captain Morgan rum. How fun!

I am not a fan of rum, but I'm a huge fan of trinket rings from carnivals from when I was a kid, especially the birthstone ones, which I I know I have somewhere in my hoard! I used to wear them til they fell off from breaking.

Saying Goodbye: I had no idea my little trinket affinities would sell so well or quickly and now that much of my junk drawer items have sold and I have more space, I'm not going to clutter it up again any time soon.
I've been moving my crafting and art supplies into the empty drawers and boxes! Now that's progress!
What I learned:
1. I am still "reward" based meaning I am not motivated to dehoard unless there is some kind of reward in place for me, like a carrot in front of a horse! So sometimes my rewards start piling up, but I am getting better with quality shopping, instead of random cheap thrill bargains and set up my rewards ahead of time and with ideas on how to use them.
For instance, if I let go of five things than usually my reward is 10% of the profit towards my art projects. Sometimes seeing more space and less clutter works, but that usually happens way after the fact. Perhaps imagery can be a replacement for rewards?
I'd like to be motivated beyond tangible rewards, but I haven't quite figured it out yet, nor thought of a non tangible reward that works. I'd love to be able to do things without my life being reward based, but I'm still working on how to go about that.
What motivates you when you need to get an unpleasant project done? And if you are reward based, what are your types of rewards? Food or shopping or other?
Pirate Diamonds filled with pirate treasure!

"Harmony. It's not what's lasting or
permanent. It is about individual voices coming together for a moment.
And that moment lasts a length of a breath, or in my instance a
transaction. That's what I think about my time here."---Frank Underwood
from House of Cards or in my case, I think it's "destiny, as well as harmony."
Recognize the quote. So glad it has been more than a moment!!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you mean when you said "Perhaps imagery can be a replacement for rewards?"
One day I hope to get things done without being reward based and I was thinking perhaps imagining my home or craft room without clutter would be reward enough. Til then, I need dangling carrots!
