THE SCRAPBOOK YARDSALE RETURNS!

THE SCRAPBOOK YARDSALE RETURNS!

Friday October 24th (1:00-8:00pm)

Saturday October 25th (8:00am-1:00pm)

We all have stashes of unwanted papers, unused embellishments, tools collecting dust etc etc so let's have a Scrapbook Yard Sale and turn your old supplies into new ones.

Here is how it works:

Gather up your things, fill out the attached form and bring it all in between now and October (ITEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED ONCE THE SALE STARTS)

You set your own price and I will sell for you. Each item must come in with a price tag attached and on that price tag the proper code.

You can return to my home after Tuesday October 28th to pick up anything that did not sell and receive your STAMPIN' UP! credit for the amount you sold. The credit can be spent on any catalogue items but is not redeemable on crops or classes. Credit Vouchers must be redeemed by Feb 28th, 2009.

Helpful tips for preparing your items:
Package your papers in lots (ie 10 sheets) and bag together and sell the lot.
All small items must be packaged, nothing loose will be accepted.
No broken items.
CASH & Chq only for payment of yard sale items so if you are shopping be
prepared.
Things that sell well - tools, papers, embellishments, kits
