I.E. SCRAPS AND OLDER PAPERS ETC.... #Post#: 27200-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: maddawg Date: May 30, 2013, 8:03 am --------------------------------------------------------- I have a bunch of papers most especially from kits that after I subscribed I thought - what was I thinking. lol!!! I have a TON of old basic grey. I'm trying to get my stash of papers down to the "basket" that I use to flip through. I also keep scraps in a separate basket to flip through instead of having them divided up in files by mfg. I like the system - I just want to get all the papers in one spot. What do you do with papers you want to purge? I don't know of anyone I can "donate" them to. #Post#: 27204-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: Barb Date: May 30, 2013, 8:58 am --------------------------------------------------------- Lynn just send that Basic Grey my way...... I have been keeping most of mine and using it because I haven't been able to buy much. I sometimes pass it to relatives that scrap....But I love paper and I just have a hard time letting it go lol.... #Post#: 27212-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: KikiJames Date: May 30, 2013, 9:59 am --------------------------------------------------------- WAY too long. #Post#: 27216-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: SherrieScraps Date: May 30, 2013, 2:28 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I keep just about all my papers, unless they are a big floral or a big design. Those I donate when my church has a crop or give to one of my daughters. #Post#: 27227-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: tallulah Date: May 30, 2013, 5:19 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I happily accept any unloved papers, supplies.... I keep them until I use them..... I scrap ALOT. #Post#: 27230-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: Diana Date: May 30, 2013, 6:10 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I give them to those who want them. I need to do my yearly purge. I love your idea of putting them in a basket Lynn, my system does not work, I never use my scraps. #Post#: 27235-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: Resa Date: May 31, 2013, 7:45 am --------------------------------------------------------- keep whole sheets until I use them. scraps have to be at least 2 inches square or I toss them under the label that they are TOO SMALL to do anything with. lynn, as a teacher, I know schools always need paper for art and craft corners in the classroom. Donate to an elementary school. And if you donate A LOT, it's tax deductible. I cleaned out my stash about 4 years ago cuz it was overwhelming. I took everything to my neighborhood school and asked if they wanted any of it. they took every last dern button and bobbin I brought up. Then they sent me a statement thanking me and sent me a donation slip to use for tax purposes. #Post#: 27276-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: maddawg Date: May 31, 2013, 9:45 am --------------------------------------------------------- oooo cool ideas - glad I asked. pondering the possibilites. #Post#: 27278-------------------------------------------------- Re: SQOTD THURSDAY 5.30 By: KikiJames Date: May 31, 2013, 9:50 am --------------------------------------------------------- TOO long! Mainly because I use them to make a card set for my grandmother for Cmas every year (20 cards...she has a million grands and great grands. ). I also used a lot of stash on my niece's album this last time. I STILL have WAY too many. :-P ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
