LOL, how's that for a first?
So I have decided to restart scrapping, and all my stash was a huge mess. I've been going through stuff, *trying* to purge, etc. and just getting the space all set up. I am down to the odds and ends, where I'm tempted to just leave it alone for now and go through it as I use it. But...I forced myself to go through some more of the odds and ends this morning, and I found $100! Literally, it was just folded up and I guess it had fallen into a basket of ink pads! I do have a vague recollection of losing some money at one point, but I've barely touched this stuff in about 7 years, so at this point, I just made $100!
And NO, I'm not going to go spend it on new stuff! The only new stuff I've let myself get is a kit to do a December Daily type thing and a few odds and ends to help keep it fresh.

Lucky you!
Unfortunately, if that much money disappeared in my house we'd turn it upside down to find it!

Lucky you! Unfortunately, if that much money disappeared in my house we'd turn it upside down to find it! If I'm remembering correctly, it was "extra" after a vacation where we'd brought cash and didn't use it all - so it had been budgeted for but not actually used. And yes, we definitely looked for it, but I think we concluded it had gotten thrown in the trash somehow. (I don't remember why we thought that, but I do remember resorting to digging through the trash can and not finding it.) |

I find money in my pockets all of the time. One year I found $300 in a purse I had used on the previous summer's vacation. It was birthday money and money I had put aside for printing photos. I spent it quickly on a new camera for my purse.

WooHoo! I thought you were going to say you sold some of your stash.

What a great story, RosieKat! I thought you were going to say you sold some supplies, too. Good for you for making room again for scrapping in your life. I'm putting together a scrapbooking organization class. I'd love to use this story and maybe some other input from you about how it felt to purge some things, etc. If you're open to that, please PM me! (I would give you full credit, link to your blog or IG, etc.) |

Nice! But more importantly... welcome back to scrapping! I did a page today! Woot me! (This is a hugely big deal for me on a lot of levels - I probably need to scrap about why I haven't been scrapping, as it goes beyond the obvious stuff of not enough time or creative energy, and into a college-course amount of psychological analysis...  ) |

 I found $10 just the other day. Wrapped up in a grocery store receipt. It must have been at least 3 months old. I love when that happens!!!

It's such an awesome feeling when you find "found money"!
