and I need to share with people who will share my excitement. Someone was destashing their papers on fb marketplace, and while I couldn't see all the papers they were offering I could see enough designs and branding strips I recognised to take the leap. I am so glad I did, it was over 120 full sheets and a good sized pile of mostly larger than 8x12 scraps that was filled with lots of older brands. I scored heaps of OA and MME Lime Twist, a few sheets of BG, Cosmo Cricket, Lily Bee, Making Memories (including a whole pile of the ledger papers), Sassafrass, SC, and some older PP, SS and EP. There was a pretty decent pile of those shaped papers, mostly FP, but also some MM and Jenni Bowlin, three of those 12x12 KI laser cut sheets, and a good sized pile of Hambly!
There's very little that I think I'll struggle to use, and I've already enjoyed digging into my new to me stash and making pages.

Oh my goodness! I don’t understand firsthand, but I know all of those brands from Shimelle talking about them and I’m sure she’d be absolutely thrilled for you  |

Excuse you, Chinagirl828 , but pics or it didn't happen!  (Come on, let us drool properly over your find.) Sorry, you'd think I'd know better by now wouldn't you?  These are apparently going to be giant (sorry, not sorry?). No photos of the Hambly or the KI pieces as I have a dark desk and it's way too hard to take photos of transparent things on it.      |

*gasps* Whooooa Nelly! That is one heck of a nice score. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! (Trying real hard not to call you a lucky b*tch here.  ) And my childhood years just came alive. You have the perfect paper for the famous retro Bambina side whistle shaped like a blue bird!  And one of those monsters looks so much like Bud from Space Goofs.  |

Super jealous of the Night Light OA, that is one of my faves! I thought of you Skellinton when I found the OA Night Light in the pile. I also got a brand new sheet of the punch out die cuts from the same collection in this haul. |

I have that Sassafras line with the monsters on it. I've made several pages with it- it is so cute. I have the bird paper, too. I think that is Basic Grey. I see a couple pieces from other Basic Grey and Sassafras lines, too. I am jealous. It is so fun to get old stuff. I miss the variety of scrapbook companies that used to exist.

There is some great papers in that haul, enjoy and what a find It is great when you take that marketplace chance and it ends up being an amazing find. I had one of those a while back, the photos were terrible but like yourself I could see enough of the products and brands that made me take the plunge. It was dark when I got there and I didn't see anything until I got home, to this day I don't think I will ever come across such scrappy fortune again in my life. |
