One Woman's Trash become MY TREASURE

Recently a friend of mine called me and said that she had found a yardsale that I needed to hit. Lucky for me the woman said she'd be out for only another 45 minutes ....... it was a 15 min drive. When I got there it was like paradise. The lady was a former Stampin Up rep and was cleaning house. She had a whole table dedicated to scrapbooking items that she was getting rid of. They were all things that were brand new. I checked with my catalog when I got home and compared the prices.... all the goodies I bought would have totalled up to $683. Whew I can't afford to throw that kinda money at my hobby, especially not with a gallon of milk (or for that matter gas) costing what it does now. I left with a huge box of goodies and it cost $100! I can chew on that one for a bit and swallow that cost when I considered how much I saved. To give you an example.....

Heat Embossing Gun ........ Lists $35, Paid $3
Dry Chalk Pallate ............ Lists $29 (i think), Paid $6
Stamp Set .......... Lists $29, Paid $5
Stamp Set .......... Lists $19, Paid $1
.....and the list just keeps going!

Needless to say, I will watch this house like a hawk for future yardsales! She said she had more goodies, but for that day she was only selling the things she had acquired, but never used. Maybe next round she'll have some used items too!

LOVIN IT!
