Have you discovered any treasures in your stash?

My paper organization is kind of weird. Some paper is sorted by color, some is still in the paper pads, some is in bins by theme, and some is by brand. I have a plastic envelope of just October Afternoon. Except at one point, some of the themier OA went into the bins (like paper with tomatoes went into my home/hobby bin since I garden). So once in a while I'll get a bin out and find OA in there. It's always a nice surprise since the OA envelope is getting smaller.

I also at some point used most of an OA pad (they are 8 by 8) and started a camping album. The point was to put one photo a year from our camping trips in there, but I never got past year two and the album wound up in the back of a closet. I recently took out the empty background pages and now I have a ton of OA paper to use on something else

I found a set of perfect layers rulers I had forgotten I had.  It was a set of 3 but somewhere during the last move I lost one.  I was surprised to see them on Amazon from WRMK, since mine are from a different company.   I loved those things for getting perfect sized mats for photos.

Kinda in my stash, but not really scrapbook stuff. I used to keep all the duplicates and leftover pics when I 1st started scrapbooking in 1998. This was the time of film camera and ordering duplicates. I have literally been lugging these 6 shoe boxes around for 20+ years. I hit the motherlode of leftover pics of my dad who passed away almost 8 years that I had no idea I had!! They where ones that didn't make it into albums for one reason or another but where perfectly good. I cried as the pictures from early on weren't plentiful so I was so overwhelmed to find these. I also have so many of my nieces and nephews growing up that I'm sure that their parents don't have that I'm gonna separate and give to them.

And man, talk about ex-boyfriend vault for various family members!!😂 I had a good laugh.

And looking at some of the old leftover pics gave me a different perspective after 15-20 years to scrap some in a different way then I had originally scrapbooked them. So I pulled them and put them aside.

I'm definitely glad I didn't get rid of them over the years like I felt like doing so many times!!

I found an Authentique paper pad I had totally forgotten about-Mister. It inspired me to dig out all my rugged, "guy" type paper and put it together. Not that it needs to be used for guys. But I put all my Workshop, Mister, Cedar Lodge and a few other things into a new category!

Don't know if this is what your looking for but my mum has a proper vault of scrapbooking items within her scrapbooking room, she's never got rid of anything throughout her time scrapbooking which must be over coming on 20 years now. My favourites would be the Basic Grey she has when we used to have a local scrapbboking shop (oh those were the days), you know when the shabby chic, dark colours was in fashion. Cannot remember how old it is though and the old Studio Calico kits she has from when we first started subscribing around 12 odd years ago, if not longer. Think it was in the first year they started the kits up, it's only been in the last few years my mums changed over to Cocoa Daisy. All the kits are complete too, baring the odd page she's used.
