Heya Folks,

Anyone have stuff they'd be willing to give away/swap?

Me Again!!

I worked for several design departments/houses and I have a whole bunch of crazy paper I would be more than willing to part with.

Guess Who!!

I actually have a request...

Does anyone have a bunch of old crayons or crayon pieces you'd like to have taken off your hands? I have some stuff I'd like to do with the kiddo's that need some old bits 'n' pieces.

Yikes, OK, I think I'm a little too excited about this little topic...


I also have some spray paint that's been sitting around unused and would _love_ a good home to go to! Lots of greens and maybe and orange or two, some metallics, and a few blacks. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll let you know what the actual colors are.

offer - egg cartons and coffee cans

Postby hairycarrot on Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:11 pm

I have egg cartons and coffee cans I'd be willing to trade.
The egg cartons are the paperboard kind, not Styrofoam.
The coffee cans are cardboard with foil coatings.

wanted - plastic bags

Postby hairycarrot on Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:14 pm

I'm fusing plastic bags and would like plastic bags that you would rather not throw in a landfill.
I especially like grocery bags in colors other than blue or white.
I like newspaper bags, too.
Any bags with a word containing the letter r. Other words are good, too.

I have TONS of plastic grocery bags: blue and white. There's a few other colors mixed in there too. I would love to get them out of my house.

I am always looking for thread. Though, I'm quite picky about the brand....I love Sulky or comparable thread.

Anyone have old rock tees that you're getting rid of??? Send them my way please!

Ohhhh... If I can find it, I might be able to wrangle my husband's old guns 'n' roses t-shirt from him. It's incredibly ugly though; it's printed on a black and white tie dyed background. I've tried to throw it out at least a half dozen times, but it always manages to make it back into the drawer...

BTW everyone, I edited the first post to give away/swap material, instead of just a swap. You see, I'm more than happy to just give my stuff away since I'd rather have it go to a good home and be useful than collect dust in my house or worse, go to the landfill when I get too tired looking at it. But if you'd like to swap, than I think everyone should have the chance to specify that as well.

So, if you see something of mine that you'd like, lay a claim and don't feel you need to give me something in return.


Although I do love chocolate chip cookies if you're really insistent ;-)

New Crafter

Postby hugs and kitsches on Thu Aug 21, 2008 1:39 pm

Hey, everyone! I'm Jessica, and I'm relatively new to the Pittsburgh crafting community (but I'm eager to get involved!). Does anyone have some spare craft supplies for me? I'm heading off to college in a week, and I could really use some stamps, paint, etc. I'd be more than happy to give some finished craft projects as compensation!

Jessica - I have some odd stamps that I don't use. And when I say odd - there are stamps of cat liter and 409 spray. I am happy to hand them over. Hopefully, you can find a fun use for them. They were a little too strange for me...
