    long time lurker, new poster

    Hello all,
    I am in Goldsboro NC, started scrapping about 3 yrs ago to keep me busy while on my Regular Day Off (RDO) as well as my Kelly day (KDay). Since then Scrapping has helped to make ends meet as my wife lost her job and our income got cut in half. I am small scale, mainly getting things by finding them on trash days, or the fellas at work give me anything they need to get rid of.
    Thanks all,
    matt z

    Hey Matt, welcome and thanks for the intro. I started out curb shopping and getting lots of stuff from friends and family as well. Keep at it and read as much of the old threads here as possible. It's a valuable source of info. Good luck

    Welcome to the forum. You have found a great resource of information and all that is required is reading the old threads, Mike.

    Welcome to the forum, I think most of us started the same way, stay at it and talk to people any before you know it you get repeat customers. Good luck with your scrappin.
