Cleaned out my studio and found I've saved over 300 endpapers from old projects.

It's a stack of memories from twenty years of work, each one a book I brought back to life. Does anyone else hold onto little pieces like that, or am I just a sentimental packrat?

Wow, that's a cool find. Honestly, I see this everywhere now. People keep concert tickets in a drawer, or the first dollar they made at their shop. My neighbor has a jar full of bottle caps from every beer he's ever tried. It's not just stuff, it's proof you were there and you did the thing.

Ever think it was just clutter? I kept a box of old fabric scraps for years, and now they tell a story I'd forgotten.

Funny how a pile of junk becomes a time capsule when you least expect it.
