I've been in the process of reorganizing my scrap space for the last few days (although it seems like I am ALWAYS reorganizing this space! LOL) and have decided I need to part with some of the supplies that haven't been touched in the past year and that I know I just will not use. I had read about an organization that collects scrapbooking supplies on Kelli Crowe's blog awhile ago called Send Love Today. They are a nonprofit organization that provides support to brain tumor patients and their families in the form of cards and small gifts. I emailed one of the founders, Linda Thomas, and she was more than happy to receive donations. She will even send back a receipt for your taxes if you include an approximate value of your donation with your package.
So my plan is to set out a Priority mail box in the corner of my scrap space and fill it with whatever supplies I have not used or know that I will not use in the near future. Once the box is full I will send it off to Send Love Today and start the process all over again. Not only am I working on my goal to simplify for the New Year but I am helping others at the same time and really what could be better than that? :)
If you'd like to donate to Send Love Today you can mail your donations to:

Thanks for sharing this info, my friend. I have so many supplies here waiting to be donated as well and didn't know to whom. I'll be sending some love as well :-)
Lynn - I love this idea. I was trying to come up with a great place to send unused scrapbook products, so thanks to you, I now have a place to send them.
