newbie scrapper

hello all, I have had some dealing in the past with storm cleanups and what not seeing as how i live in Florida and hurricanes love us lol. but I've decided to try my hand at some real scrapping ventures and found this forum I've been through a lot of topics already and decided to stay a while. I am looking forward to being here and hopefully ill get to make some money in the process. i deliver news papers so right now im just picking stuff up from the trash as I go at night. any advice or tips or anything really would be appreciated. thanks all every one seems to be pretty great here from what I've seen.
