Tome of Treasures

A scrapbook journal for saving the treasured memories from your physical treasures, so you can free yourself from the treasures themselves. Philosophy behind the tome of treasures: We are accumulators. Gatherers, hunters, buyers, makers, crafters, artists, dragons, hoarders, capitalists, whatever you want to call it, we acquire stuff so easily we quickly become overrun. Clearing it out makes way for thinking, sunlight, and peace, but it’s really hard to get rid of our things especially when they have meaning or connections to the people we love. So don’t. put them here. Snap a photo of them, print it out, paste it inside the tome of treasures and write a short note about them. What is it? Where did you get it? Who got it for you or with you? Why did you get it? Finally, how did you let it go? Now you have your treasures, and their stories, safe in your tome for remembering. You can set them free in the world to bring joy to others. A note from the creator: My father was a farmer. He grew up on 160 acres so when he moved to downtown Denver he hadn't learned how to let go of things. After he died it took us 3 and half years to go through everything he had accumulated. There is a fine line between collecting and suffocating. Something can bring you joy and still make you feel stifled. So I created this Tome of Treasures. Keep a picture of the things you are ready to part with but still love and feel tied to. Write down their story, let them go, and set yourself free.
