I use to paper scrapbook - but now I do it digitally - no storage issues - everything is on the computer and you can re-use it!! It's actually my other addiction.
Here's one I did - my daughter and just one of my 7 gks.

Steph T, follow your passion! I scrap-booking is no longer your passion then sell the stuff and get that long arm.

If you are not using your scrapbooking things anymore, and by selling them you can buy something you would not be able to buy otherwise, then go for it! Your family is beautiful and so are your surroundings! Don't any of your girls want your scrapbooking stuff?

I was into jewelry making BIG TIME! I had over $10,000 worth of jewelry and tools and different metal boxes and displays. I gave it all to my son's girlfriend and then they broke up. I was soooo stupid! I should have sold everything. They were planning on marrying so I thought it would stay in the family, but now he's with someone else and all my jewelry making stuff is long gone. I never thought about selling it to buy quilting things. Oh well, I'll never do something like that again. Live and learn. I still like his ex-girlfriend. I hope she's using what I gave her. I was done with jewelry making anyway and didn't want to mess with advertising it and haggling over the price to sell it all.

I have TONS of scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies that I never use - always think I will, but haven't been touched in years. I've been thinking of selling my stuff, too, to support my new hobby. WAY too much inventory to list each individual item on ebay - how/where have others had success selling their stuff (or did you give it away)?

That's what I need to do. That was one hobby which was not my cup of tea and It's taking up too much space. I could use a new machine. But to answer the question, well, you're the only one who can really answer that question. Make a chart of why and why nots and see who wins.

Sounds great. Hey you can just take pictures of it with a digital camera and save the pictures on a card. No need for all that paper stuff, get quilting!
