Way to be strong, girls!
I have 2 paper punches that someone might like from scrapbooking for my kids. One is an "M" and one is an "E" capital letters, about 1 1/8" tall (the punchout area.) I don't scrapbook much...need to let this stuff go. I'll take some material for it, just a few charm squares or a few in the same color family to use in my projects, browns/tans preferred. Thanks.

I guess I am kind of lucky! There are 2 small fabric stores here and we do have a craft store, but other than that we don't have anything else! Maybe some day we will have a Michael's! who knows!

I am reading through this thread and I think it is awesome that all of the "stashaholics" are coming together as a support group. ;) Wish there was a support group for those of us trying to build our crafting stash on a tight budget..haha! Ann---I love the challenges and can't wait to try one.
Keep up the good work and having fun! :)

Hang in there Tammy! Stay strong girl! Remember times may be tough, but farm girls are tougher!
Jessie - post a WANTED on our stashaholics bin. Maybe somebody is cleaning out what you are looking for. We are always happy to help a fellow sister!

Yup, I'm a stashaholic too!! Yarn, lots of yarn....and my current obsession is now mixed media/collage and ATCs!! Love paper ephemera, vintage photos...and all kinds of embellishments. My house is overflowing with it!!

Artist Trading Card! If you do a search online you can find all kinds of info. They are the size of a playing card and you make little works of art...and then trade them!
Lisa, I'd love to see your cards!

Thank you! And, I've seen them before (just never the abbreviation). I think they are very cool! I probably will have to try some...

We could do a trade here...
I'll post the July 4th ones I have and when I get my Halloween ones from the trade, I'll post a pic of them too. I love making them, but sometimes I get a little stressed over it when I can't come up with anything creative....LOL

Lisa, you should post this swap on the Stitching and Crafting board - then everyone can join in. Are you up for hosting a SWAP?

There's already a mail art swap that is very similar....unfortunately, not everyone that signs up actually sends something to their partner so I stopped after the first month.

We do these group swaps in a club called Scrapbook Oasis. The girl that hosts them there has girls sign up by a certain date, then depending on how many have signed up, you make that many and send them all to the host. She divides them up and sends everyone a pack. You get one from each girl that has participated. So if 6 sign up, you make 6 ATCs (can be all the same, which is usually the case, or all different) and send them to the host by a due date. Then they get sent back out. I'd LOVE to host it, but the way things are going right now with working on making Christmas gifts(everybody wants a quilt or SOMETHING), I'd have to wait til at least after the new year....but we can do them then - I don't mind..

Yahoo Groups also has several great ATC swapping groups that are run in the same way.
