De-stash for me, giveaway for you!

I am de-stashing my scrap studio tonight. Well, finishing up the de-stash I started several weeks ago, anyway. And I'm being totally brutal about what I'm keeping and what I'm parting with. 

I've been struggling to keep my scrap space clean enough to scrap and lately the piles are winning the mess war and I'm not getting any scrapping done. In fact, I think the miles of piles of scrap crap are responsible, at least in part, for my missing scrappy mojo. I have too much stuff to keep organized and with addition of 8000 yards of fabric and batting, a full-sized ironing board, two typewriters, a sewing machine and a strange abundance of chairs, not to mention a desk, an iMac, two printers and a partridge in a pair tree, I'm out of space in my 120 sf of our garage that my husband let's me and my craft shit supplies occupy. 

So far I have three Studio Calico boxes (my prized, precious SC boxes, oh how I miss seeing you grace my doorstep) filled with papers (KI Memories, Basic Grey, 7Gypsies, paper stacks, American Crafts, Scenic Route, etc.), chipboard letters and goodies from a whole buncha industry greats, rub-ons and all manner of scrappy goodies, and I estimate I'll fill at least two more tonight. Some of these items are a bit dated, but many or current or at least within the last year.

So, here's what you gotta do:

Leave a comment on this here post.

Yep, that's it.  I'll leave the comments open until Sunday night and then I'll randomly pick five winnahs to each receive a box of my scrapbooking hand-me-downs. And spread the word! Let's make this interesting.

PS  Unfortunately, it would cost me a holy heck of a small fortune to ship these loaded boxes outside of the US, so only US residents please. Sorry to my Canadian, Aussie and European friends!

*mumbling under her breath, just loudly enough so that you can hear* why do you US gals get all the fun?? I'll strike a deal - If I win (I've never won anything, so there's not much chance anyway) I'll pay for the postage? Ha, whaddya say, ha?]

One woman's trash is another woman's treasure!

I'd love to have a box of goodies from your big purge. I'm a big believer in cleaning out and organizing and I love the feeling of a fresh start when it's all done. Thanks for sharing the wealth with your readers :)

[Valerie]

Love that you inspire me both for scrappy LO's and quilting.
Although I haven't done any quilting yet (I'm a TOTAL novice, batting - didn't even know what THAT was!!) I'm trying to compile a little list of wanted items that may help hubby and family at Christmas!!
I know that I'm not in the US but I'll gladly pay the shipping to the UK if I'm allowed! :)

[JPScraps]

Great idea for a giveaway. I'd love it if you'd count me in :)

[amber]

I am proud of you. Sometimes it is hard to get par down on what at one time was such beautiful paper or something we had to have.

[Christine Guets]

Good for you! It's hard to part with beautiful stuff you "might" use some day!

[Briana N.]

Thanks for the chance to win- I'd love some of your old junk! :)

[carriegel]

Thank you for being so generous. I love reading your blog, for the scrapbooking and the quilting!

I'm jealous of your ability to purge. I need to do that, too...however, I'd still love to win some of your goodies! : )

[hanna]

[Penny]

I'd love to win your leftovers! I'm in that same state, where I can't get motivated to create anything in the 8 square inches that aren't covered with piles of stuff!

[MandyK]

Oooh would love to win some of your stash. LIke the others I miss seeing your fab creations in the SC gallery. The quilts are beautiful!
