Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Starting a new thread as requested. Here are the rules, as they have always been in the past. If you see something you like, you can claim it based on the guidelines of the person offering the item(s) (usually first come-first serve basis). Some time in the future, it is expected that you will offer something to Pay-It-Forward. You don't have to wait until you offer something before you claim something else, but we try not to do that too much, so that everyone gets a chance. The person sending the PIF pays the shipping. I usually post where I am willing to ship, to cut down on confusion.

I don't know about everyone else, but the holidays just wore me out! I didn't do much, but we had family members show up last minute for a visit, and we had a last minute get together on Christmas Eve with my sister's family etc. Still trying to keep visits to a minimum and I'm relieved that none of us got sick. My sister and her husband were getting over bad colds and coughs, but were negative for COVID...but I was still nervous. Who wants to get the flu or a cold at any time, even if it's not COVID?!!
Hoping everyone is doing well and had an enjoyable holiday season. Happy 2022!
Thanks for starting a new thread Chris.

Karen my husband and I are currently being isolated this week even though we did test negative for COVID. We are not allowed to go back to work until we are 5 days free of any symptoms!!! I have got so much crafting in and I am going to start our wedding book as we just got married in August!

Wow, congratulations on your marriage!! I still have to complete my wedding album, and it's been 41 years, haha! I started out as a scrapbooker, and then switched to card making some years ago. It was easier to work on projects without having to coordinate with photos etc. That being said, I intend to finish up many of my partially made layouts this year and finally get them into albums. My "kids" are 40 and 37 years old, and it's about time!

Could you add the guidelines in the first post for those who haven't played along in the past?
Hi Dina,
I'm hoping that Chris sees this so she can add the guidelines to her post and new participants will see it right away. However, the basic guidelines are that you can offer items that you no longer want or use, and the person offering pays postage to the recipient. It is expected that those who grab a PIF will offer something in return at some point, but it's not a strict one-for-one trade.
The person offering an item, or items, can indicate whether they send only in the US, or only in Canada or another country etc, or whether they ship anywhere. You would usually private message the person offering an item with your address, and the name of the item that you want.
It's a great way to get those stash items that we don't use out of our craft rooms and into the hands of someone who will enjoy and use them.

I think Kazeka explained it very well!

Telephone stamp set SPOKEN FOR
Happy Holidays SPOKEN FOR
I have two items to share that were previously shared here with me. I hope someone can use them! I can only mail in the U.S.. The first is a phone set from The Stamp of Life by Stephanie Barnard. I would suggest whoever claims this one maybe have a stamping platform, as it is a layered stamp set. I didn't understand that at first and stamped the pieces out seperately, then realized they layer together. (DER! lol...)
The second is a stamp set from Fancy Pants stamps (Happy Holidays). It has a wonderful saying on it "The true spirit of Christmas is Love". I thought that was beautiful and so true.
Just let me know if you'd like one or both, and PM your name and address.

Hi Chris,
I would love the telephone set if it's still available. It looks like the one I grew up with!
Karen
I have combined the items here with others previously offered in an effort to make a search easier. They can be found in #89.
Thank you to so many of you who expressed interest and picked up most items. It will take a bit of time to assemble all the packages and get them out, but I'm shooting for no later than Monday/Tuesday.

Hi Lercy,
So happy you decided to adopt some new furbabies, and how wonderful that they're all getting along. Each time we added a new kitty to our group, it was an adjustment period (harder for some of them than for others) and a couple of cats never did get along. This is absolutely a happy new year for your new family!
Pmd you , and thanks for the PIFs on offer.
Karen
Such sweet kitties! I have 2 dogs (9yrs & 14 yrs). Aging is not easy on any of us! I would like to have another cat, but that will have to wait as my 9 year old dog does not like cats.
Lercy, Your new family babies are so sweet! They are gorgeous babies!!! I am so happy for you all! They do bring happiness to life! I am so glad they are bringing you joy; they look like a fun bunch! And you are giving them a wonderful home.
I see they love the sherpa like our kitties. Our kitties keep us on our toes, but they are worth it!
Thanks for your generous offers. You are going to make so many happy with those!
Sharon,I am sorry to hear that you didn't find us, but I am glad you found us now! So good to see you! I have trouble finding this thread myself at times. It just seems to disappear sometimes. POOF!
Lercy, Thank you! I will look forward to your happy mail!
Hope everyone is having a fun weekend! I was actually able to get a little cleaning done today! Hoping I can craft for a bit later!
I hope to get both of the PIFs I am sharing in the mail Monday.
OMG cute kitties!!
our two cats are getting up there in age, one turned 17 this month and the other is about 6 months older we guessed, when we got her
Hello everyone! I hope that you have all been having a good 2022 so far. As most know, we lost our two furbabies last year. We found by the end of December that we could not move forward without having the chaotic crazy they bring to our lives -- so we adopted three! Sky and Penny are siblings we wanted to keep together because she is painfully shy and depends on her brother to let her know something is okay. Belle (calico) is turbo charged and brings out the wild in the other two. They all love each other, are safe and happy, which makes us happy.
Okay, so now begins my list of items to offer. I'm starting with stamps and will move to dies in my next post. The stamps are a mix of never used, rarely used, duplicates, or a theme I already have too many of. PM me with your interest and, as always, I will pick up the postage. Thank you!
Congrats on the kitties! They're so cute!
I would love the Altenew Persian set and the Ellen Hutson HB2U set!
Pay It Forward 2022...
