    4 sleepers / sacks by cartersand gerber

    That's awesome, today I saw a post for kids stampers and the such and I was the first to respond and I went and pick them up today....

    There are about 100 stampers, some stamp pads, stencils and some other items for like play-doh, my daughter is playing with them right now, she loves it!

    It was alot and I was expecting just a few stampers for her! She loves everything!

    Our freecycle site is usually really a good place to find good things. Very little "not worth it stuff".

    I actually just posted on a different thread about Freecyle. It's the best. Our group is very active and very generous. I highly recommend people to go for it and start a group if they don't have one in their area. I've received literally well over a thousand dollars worth of stuff (treadmill, large foreman grill, clothes, large rug, mega toys, kitchen stuff.) It's fabulous, plus you meet really nice like-minded people.
