After seeing Sandi's scrumptious scrap studio, I got the itch to clean out and purge my own scraproom. The Penthouse was bursting at the seams with a ridiculous accumulation of scrapcrap. I didn't take any before pics, but let me just say that the closet was something that rivalled a beaver dam.
However, after some serious sorting and a heavy hand toward the Goodwill box, it's clean and organized... and best of all EMPTY so I can stash my scrap tote in it...
...aaahhhhh, empty shelves... glorious.
I also shifted the Cricut 'workstation' to make more room since we'll be introducing our new baby, the Cricut Expression to the mix...
And I began the daunting task of cleaning off my side of the table...
... still a work in progress.
So far I've already taken a bin of 12x12 papers (leftover from the store) and my Crop n Style XXL tote, plus an assortment of stickers and embellies to Goodwill, but now I've got another load waiting to go...
Plus, while cleaning out the recesses of the closet, I stumbled across a couple of alphabets that go with the Revolution die cutting system...
Abigail and Beauty Queen. Anybody want them? I don't have the machine they go with. Make me an offer... I'm cheap.
And I also found these...
Same goes for this set of relics from Savannah Scrapbooking (sigh... they make me a little nostalgic.) They're full of QuickKutz alphabets (like a thousand dollars worth of 'em.)
Whaddya think? Ten bucks? Twenty? Email me. No offers and they go to Goodwill. Goodness only knows what will become of them, it's sad to see my precious babies go, but at this point I haven't used them in over three years so they've gotta find love somewhere else.
Tomorrow I will continue the purge... my goal is to streamline my stash and free my brain from the overwhelmingness (uh, probably not a word) of its enormity (definitely a word.)
Plus, I've gotta get my shit together because I've got a scrapbooking weekend (TYBEE!) coming up in less than two weeks and plan to get MUCH more accomplished than the last crop I attended... drunk or not. Just sayin'.
;)
I have the revolution machine and a die cut alphabet set too if anyone wants them. Email me at sandi.james@comcast.net

I'm waiting to raise my paddle for when you auction off a trip to Tybee with you & your friends. :) BTW, you are going to love the Expression. Enjoy your clean space!

I just got into scrapbooking and came across your page... Next time you clean out your storage and want to get rid of anything please consider giving me an email, I would love the chance to buy from you--Never found anything of scrapbooking at a goodwill store but am always hopeful I will come across something!
