So, this morning, I tackled Patrick's closet. It was the computer room/guest room/dump stuff here room before it became the nursery, so I had no idea what I might find in the closet. One of the boxes I came across contained extra wedding invitations
(we were married in '98!) and I asked Rob if he'd object to me tossing them. He suggested we keep one complete set (invite, response card, directions, etc.) As I was pulling that together, I found about 25 .55 cent stamps! These will work great for some of my larger trades! So excited! Just goes to show how profitable a good purge can be!

Updated to add:
OMG! I just found my old wallet in the rolltop desk in the living room and inside was a $50 gift coin to a local department store! Unbelieveable! I am SOOOOO psyched! (I also found $0.45 which Julia will enjoy putting in the change bin!)

Awesome! That's over $100 :eek:

My Target had very nice wedding scrapbook stickers on clearance for .74, there were 3 different sets. I grabed a set of all 3 for swapping. Lmk if you plan on doing a wedding page and you want them, I can give you more details then.
