Keeping "Older" Kits, etc

This thread inspired me to go purge from designers that have never been at SSD and all those little freebies I will never use. Oh and blog trains... lol

I spent a few hours yesterday doing just that. Thank you for the push.

Quite a few years back I purged a ton of stuff. I have not done it in a long time though. I have lots of space so I am not worried.
 
I still have several Dani kits and still have all my Shabby Princess stuff LOL I have purged a little, but if I look at the kit and still like it, why would I delete it? My stuff is pretty organized so I can find things.

does this mean you've kept every piece of artwork that your kid has brought home too?? lol :o

(this is just me thinking back to 2007 and thinking it's really ok if you don't keep all of it although there ARE some things that have stood the test of time! I think I have really old dani mogstad kits on my external that i'll never get rid of)

I keep everything except those freebies when I went on my first scrapbook freebie frenzy when I first started digital scrapping. For some of those freebies, I don't know what I was thinking, LOL!

This is pretty much me!! I've been downloading since 2006! LOL A couple of years ago, I did, however, purge about 40 or 50 CDs with OLD stuff, like freebies, as well as kits that I swear were so darn cute. LOL I still have tons more. I need to be a purger, not a collector.

I have made it a goal to use everything I have ever bought no matter when. Granted some of the elements in older kits may seem outdated but if paired with older photos, it fits right in. Or just use the papers from the kit and put elements from newer kits with it.

That's my goal as well! I'm currently sorting through all my layouts and kits to see what I have and haven't used. If I haven't used a kit and it's not my style anymore or was a freebie then I'll get rid of it.

I like purging but if I've used a kit, I find it hard to let it go. I just keep buying bigger EHDs (I'm up to a 10 TB) since it's so cheap and make sure that I keep my Backblaze subscription up to date for cloud backup.
 
Now, I will say, I rarely delete a template! I think I still have some of Cindy's from the days when she offered them as freebies at Peppermint Creative. LOL!
 
Purging does...not come naturally to me, lol.
I have plenty of physical items to declutter, so I don't want to spend time purging stuff that's contained in a little external hard drive. There's just too many other things I'd rather do, haha.

I think I just finally purged some of Dani's stuff when I switched to a Mac.

I do have some things that are from like 2007 I still use. Alphas primarily. I think I still have in regular rotation alphas from Zoe, Fee and Julie! LOL!

I LOVED fee's alphas!! I always felt that we shouldn't have made it a thing to have alphas in each kit but have super awesome stand alone ones like the ones fee made. Universal that could be used in all kits.

I'm still a sucker for a unique or interesting alpha. Fee always had some of the coolest! I still pull a lot of Shawna's out too.

I had a computer crash So I did lose a lot of my older (and some newer) items. That was basically a mandatory purge (even if it was unwanted!)

This is the same situation I was in. I had so much stuff when I lost everything, while I was able to get I'd say 80% back through redownloading from Backblaze & stores, there was some stuff I lost permanently
 
I do purge some things - digi has come a long way... but there are some that I can't and won't part with like Amber Shaw's things. I also have everything by Heather Roselli. haha and a number of other designers that are no longer designing... sigh.
