D’oh, I added it in.

so darn cute!

Might be from me! But I’ve made so many recently it’s hard to be sure

would any paper crafter like some magazines? I have like hundreds, natgeo, parenting, nature’s, a little bit of everything. I can’t possibly use them all and I’m trying to downsize before little boo comes!

Postage might be too much, but…
I am looking for English magazines on any topic, since I’ll be cutting words out of them (for ‘found words’ art or poems, or I don’t know what I’ll do with them yet; for now I’m just addicted to cutting out words in all sizes and colors, LOL).

Is it important for them to be whole magazines, or would loose pages be okay? I bet I could stuff a decent number of pages in an envelope and send at letter rates . . .

I think if it’s only magazine or magazine pages you can mail at media rate for cheaper

AIMR · July 20, 2021, 2:04am

The media rate is only for domestic mail. But, I think you might be able to sneak it through the 4 pound limit of documents mailed First Class Mail International

I just packed up another 2 bundles of things to go out into the world and seek their fortunes. I’m starting to feel much better about my space, little though it is.

That would be so kind of you!
As long as there are nice big words on them, I’ll take it.

I think here in the next few weeks I will be tackling some boxed up stash(es) and will hopefully have some more to add to my list! So far, I’ve taken in more than I’ve purged… I don’t think that’s how this is supposed to work.

Magpie · July 20, 2021, 5:19pm

That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work for the giver

madebyBeaG · July 20, 2021, 6:00pm

If it makes you happy, it is!

@PrincessP, the booklet has arrived!
I’m so in love with the stamps & decorated outside that I haven’t even opened it yet!
Thanks SO much!!

Serenity · July 20, 2021, 7:04pm

I would love those floss bobbins and floss if you still have them

Serenity · July 20, 2021, 7:25pm

I would love your “hang in there” kitten cross stitch for my 12 yr old son who loves both kittens and cross stitching! Also I would love any floss for my own work if you still have it

Magpie · July 22, 2021, 2:24am

Wha… why is this card so heavy? Because it’s full of precious, precious Canadian pennies, that’s why!

Thank you SO MUCH @AntBee! I was seriously so excited to see these. I could never have too many of these pennies, not ever. I love them. One of them is old too, 1944! It’s got King George on it.

AntBee · July 22, 2021, 2:33am

Yay! I’m so glad they got there (and in really good time, too!) I didn’t want to tell you they were coming so it would be a surprise but I really wanted to tell you they were coming! haha.

I love the old coins. I like to think about all the transactions they must have seen, especially during their newly minted years when things were so different (money-wise) from today. Like, when bread might have been ten cents for a loaf. So interesting. I’m glad you like them!

kittykill · July 23, 2021, 3:11pm

I do! I will pm you for your address.

Camelama · July 23, 2021, 6:56pm

Hey folks! I owe some of you items or PMs and I apologize for not following up - been a bit crazy here as I quit one job & start a new one on Monday! I will take time this weekend to catch up on everything.
