my trash, his treasure

Elsiekk003_2
so yesterday after school caleb sees me purging my current paper stash (this isn’t all of it.. this is the stuff i keep ON the desk.. my currents) i try to keep it under 10 inches 🙂 other manufacturers are under my desk (KI, AL, etc) – this pic is the after purged version. the before was scary. (scarier) ha.

anyways, he starts calling dibs on papers. and starts scrapbooking. i find an old cardboard box and give it to him and he turns it into a mailbox and starts passing notes with me for like an hour. SO SWEET. this was the last note for the day.

sigh. i love that kid!!!!!!!!!!!! he must get the letter writing from his dad. they know how to make my heart melt! that’s all i ever ask for for gifts- the written word. 🙂
SO anyways… i have this huge stash of “scraps” here.

most pieces are at least 1/2 a sheet. some sheets only have one little square or circle or strip cut out. i haaaaate to just throw this away. any takers? it’s still good stuff.. i just don’t have room. if anyone wants it for 9 bucks for flat rate shipping, i will gladly send. some manufacturers are: AC, Hambly, Fontwerks, Scenic Route, Basic Grey, Imagination Project, My Mind’s Eye and soo much more. there are even die cut sheets and letter stickers/rubons that are incomplete but still SO useable. i will pack that box full of stuff. if i get 2 takers i will split it. let me know. i just love my supplies and can’t just THROW them away. i want someone to love them for me. 🙂 and you know…it’s gotta be good stuff.. i used it at one point! ha! 🙂 i just can’t keep it all.

ETA: i split it in 3 and am waiting for one more payment. thanks for your interest! i definitely know where to put my scraps up next time! and i won’t feel so guilty throwing them away! thanks you guys! (and don’t worry.. i have so much stuff.. there will be more up before you know it)

  1. I need more paper like I need a hole in the head, but I can’t resist!! I’d be willing to take anything you’d like to part with. I also wouldn’t mind a split 🙂

  5. I know for sure whatever is in that stack is the bestest stuff ever, but I’m glad you found it a home. I just purged a bunch of stuff too, but it’s older stuff, so I think I’ll just donate it to a women’s shelter or some school.
    and ooh…it’s got the Jamie Waters touch too. lucky girls!

  12. WOW, Jamie…what a cool way to recycle, please don’t be shy about sharing the stash! I know how you feel, sometimes you need just a little paper and the rest sits there until a year later, when you decide to use it up on cards!
