Looking to toss the postal receipts and insurance. Did anyone NOT receive it yet? PM me if so. I've heard from most of you! *********** Original post:
I got up at 4 am and decided to get myself to sleep by going through at least one bin of paper. I came up with about 150 sheets or more just from that bin. some of it is old as the hills and others are newer, not a lot of theme items but some summer/pool, Halloween. Mostly florals, stripes, misc patterns, some My Minds Eye, old SEI, you know the drill.
Anyway as I continue on this purge I am wondering if anyone would like a RAK of misc papers. I will break up the stash to make sure anyone who wants some gets some. Also if you prefer 8.5x11 I have some of those as well.
linda I found my old ugly piece of brown plaid, too and I actually had 2 sheets of it, lol!
Depending how many people have interest you may end up with about 100 pieces or possible even 1000! Just post here and pm me your address by Friday, Feb 10th.
I can't offer to pick out certain things and some are very old, because that gets in the way of me purging. If I go back through it I may change my mind! Attachments:

Good for you. I know you were dreading this project.
I am sure you'll find someone thrilled to have your stash.

Alright...good on you. I've been following your other thread about your big stash but haven't commented because I didn't have much to add, but looks like you're off to a great start. It will be fun to see who takes you up on your rak. Most of us are probably in the same condition as you. I did notice someone say she only had 11 pieces of paper, though. I hope she sees this.

I am from too far away to enter this RAK but I really appreciate the sentiment. ETA: congratulations on the purge and embracing the spirit of giving forward, myboysnme. I hope you'll find it rewarding and walk away from those papers with a lighter and happier heart!

That's so sweet of you, myboysnme! I'd be so grateful for some paper, too! That's my weakness, but I've been good for a while.

How far away are you? Do you have mail service? My booty lies over the ocean. My booty lies over the sea. Don't send your pretty papers to me. Seriously, other continent. Not worth the shipping cost. Like, at all. I'd rather other people enjoy it! I just think it's really nice people thought of tagging me and that you're being so generous with your stash. Disclaimer (because I feel like it might be important to properly understand why I "only" 11 papers): I don't have a craft room, I live with my SO in a small (well, to be honest, normally-sized around here) old inner big city apartment in southern Europe, I store my scrap supplies in my wardrobe ("normal" European wardrobe as in a piece of furniture with a couple of doors) with my clothes, I scrap on my coffee table, a full stash in my home means around 40-50 pretty papers and 15-20 cardstock papers (I then renew them when the new collections are released and don't hoard any). I've just been on a freeze and using up my papers while waiting for the new Creativation 2017 lines to be up for sale where I live.

I'm sending you a PM, I will make sure our agency foster moms get the paper. They do "life books" for foster children/youth in their home. In addition, these wonderful ladies do blank pages so other foster parents who don't scrapbook can just add photos of the youth in their home to the pre-done pages. Several teens in our Independent Living program do scrapbooks too.
thanks! I will absolutely guarantee the paper will be used!!!

And if you are happy and MAKING PAGES ... good for you! You've avoided the self guilt of many of us with too much and making NO pages! Definitely happy and definitely making the pages I want/need to make. My small stash system works for me. It feels like a revolving door of carefully curated bits and pieces. A small but really good treasure chest.

My paper arrived and it was a lovely mix. It was especially exciting to receive some MME Sleigh Bells Ring! I had embellishments for that line and no paper. Anyway...just wanted to make sure to say thank you from the bottom of my heart myboysnme! That was such a generous thing to do!
