Title: Card making
Post by: madchickenlady on January 01, 2014, 06:14:50 pm

yay, finished my bedroom  :excited: :excited: Next round, my craft room  :'(  this is the biggie, been here three years and never got it straight. Had loads of card making stuff, then inherited my Mums' when she died, its so stuffed I can't even get in there so all this stuff is useless  :gloomy: IT HAS GOT TO GO!  :idea: anyone local who could make use of some of this, can't post due to probable weight but happy to make up a mixed box as long as you don't mind what you get! Mostly card, paper, ribbon and bits and bobs, probably some cd roms and I also have four - yes four- boxes of stamps, need to sort out my favourite and get rid of the rest!  :fc:

Have you tried Freecycle?

I'm not sure if all free[size=78%]cycles are the same but once a month ours posts charity requests. There are always local groups looking for that sort of thing. Alternatively there must be a local Brownie group or similar who would love it all.[/size]

Hi madchickenlady,
speaking as a Brownie leader, that is the sort of craft we are always looking for.  Try local Rainbows or Guide pack as well.  Where abouts are you?

Sally, that is a brilliant idea. Ours doesn't do that but there are often requests from charities anyway.
