Another donation!

**This is another post detailing donations I’ve received for the auction to try and raise funds for my trip to Canada to deliver Anita’s scrapbook to her.  If you’re a new reader to my blog and don’t know who Anita is, you can read my previous blog post here.  To see other donations I’ve received that will be put up for auction in February and March, you can go here and here  and here.

So, if you don’t know a scrapbooker, then you’re missing out.  We are really an awesome category of people.  I’ve always known that anyway (duh, because I AM one!), but with this whole fundraising thing I’ve got going on, that belief has just been proven to me time and time again.  I belong to an organizational group for scrapbookers on yahoo and I mentioned on there about my Anita scrapbook project and how I’m trying to raise money to deliver the book to her in Canada.  I had a nice lady named Dorothy McCarthy contact me wanting to help.  She gathered up a big box of supplies she had that she could part with along with a neat little scrapbooker tool that she invented and sent it off to me.  Thank you so much Dorothy! 

Here’s some of what she sent.  I’ll show more tomorrow.

A McGill scallop tag punch that punches 3 different sized tags.

And “somebody” used to like Sizzix paddle punches and must have gotten tired of them.  haha  She also included a Sizzix hammer and a Sizzix craft mat, the ejector tool, and replacement heads for the hammer to go along with these!  I’ve tried to do some research because I don’t own any Sizzix products.  I have found out the names of these punches.

These are the retired tropical fish (#38-0851) and the retired palm tree (#38-0859).

These are the snowflake (#38-0845), retired snowman (#38-0862), and retired Christmas tree (#38-0848).

These punches are retired primitive star #1 (#38-0824) and retired primitive star #2 (#38-0825) and retired primitive heart #1 (#38-0822) and the retired sun (#38-0835).

Here we have the dragonfly (#38-0833) and the butterfly (#38-0834).

Lots of decorative scissors (click to see them bigger).  I’m thinking of bidding on these myself for my Girl Scout troop!

Lots of letter stickers (click to see them bigger)

Packs of papers and cute diecuts.

A couple leaf punches

and up close

Here’s the tool Dorothy invented below.  She calls it the 2nd Chance.  She describes it as tool for separating tape runner adhesive from paper craft items but she has also used it on glue dots, stickers, double-sided tape, postage stamps, and even items used with the Xyron sticker maker.  You can see a video demonstration on her blog here.  She also sent me one to keep so I can try it out for myself.  Looks pretty neat to me. 

Thanks so much Dorothy!
