There's a certain philosophy to destashing. While to a certain extent I believe in the creative chaos of the bead box, at a certain point you need to pare things down. I think that if you haven't used them in four months, it's time to destash them. When you clear out your beadbox, you make room for new beads and new ideas to come in.

So true!
I'm also destashing some of my beads in my shop. It can get overwhelming.

Yea, especially when you have to search through all those random beads to get to the ones you really want.
