500 Swami Madame X Machine Refill Replacements: The Destiny of Things, Story 399

500 Swami Madame X Machine Refill Replacements:  The Destiny of Things, Story 399

These went to an Etsy buyer's dear friend!

I received a message saying that these were going into her friend's Swami Machine at his coffee shop!  How exciting!

If I had a friend with a coffee shop and a Swami machine, I think I might hang out daily just for my cup of Joe and fortune of the morning!  

Here's a side view of the Ask Swami machine with napkin dispenser!

 I've always wanted one of these, but never did find one thrifting! Probably a good thing for a recovering hoarder.

Saying Goodbye:  I think my hoarding days are coming to an end, so I won't have many extras of these anymore for my art.

My big plan was to wall paper the bathroom wall next to the toilet with these, so one could pick out their fortune of the day!  Unfortunately as a real estate investor, we don't stay in one place for too long and well, the resale value of one of these walls isn't great and neither is the thought of taking the wall with me.

Now I just send them out with snail mail.

Front of cards, tell your fortune like a deck of cards.

What I Learned:

1.  I probably have more art projects in my head and supplies in my hoard than I can use in a lifetime!

2.  Lately, I've been writing down my art projects with the supplies that I already have, it's become a very long list and I've been putting the projects in boxes and they have already made a hoard stack!  They are overflowing from the one shelf onto another already!

3.  Somethings gotta give, so I have more time and space for my projects!  I tried getting up earlier, but still need more time, despite waking up 4 hours earlier a day.  I've cut down on my Etsy time and blogging time and that has helped some, but not enough.  What to do?

4.  I think I'm going to dehoard a little faster and start donating my stuff!  Did I, the recovering hoarder part of me, just say that?  Well, I'm going to try to bag some things up for the closest yet far enough thrift store, so I don't try and go get my stuff back!  

And when I take this stuff over there, it's going to take a lot of strength for me to try and ignore the voices in my head that say things like, What about the fomo (fear of missing out)?  What if you need that later for a project?  I think I know how to use that right now!  What if I finally figure out what that unidentified unknown objects function is?

Wish me luck!

Back of cards, tell your fortune like a deck of cards.
