Hello everyone! Newbie Scrapper Girl Here :)

Hey! My name is Monet & this is my first forum EVER!! :) A little about me... hum... I just started scrapping, or trying to anyway. Destroyed a couple of tvs and an extremely large printer w/my kids who are all into the destruction of things & I'm trying to help my husband to provide for our family who is in between homes at the moment. :( But, it's all good because I'm not the type of female who is afraid to get my hands dirty! :cool:

At the moment though, I am still learning what I should and should not be scrapping and what the various types of metals are and grades of copper and all that good stuff. So if anyone can assist me on giving me a good website to go to, to find out the basic info I would appreciate it. I have done and am still looking into scrappers on youtube but I am still searching. So, any help will be awesome & much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time for your time & help.

Oh, by the way, I'm in the country right now w/my parents & I'm trying to scap their things that they are not using, but they don't want to give things up so, what do you think about my plans: I'm about to create a flyer to take out to their neighbors asking for anything they were going to trash or old things they might have but not be using or not working. (Here in the ****REE they don't have garbage service, they have to take their trash to the dump themselves. Maybe i should try the dump?) Hummm.....

Anyway, any help or feedback is MUCH appreciated. Thanks again & nice to be here.

you have already found the web site . now all you have to do is read.

by the way dont feel lonely, there are a lot of lady scrappers here.

welcome. your parents' neck 'o the woods is great. riding around and door bangin' will get u more than u will believe. flyers in the stores will help too. this site is full of info - hunt around. you tube is good and google for info on metals. your name is french for money, and that's what u will b rollin' in if u do some each day and learn as u go. have fun too - guys and families w scrappable junk r very receptive to girl scrappers, but watch your self - as i'm sure u know - it can b a jungle out there sometimes. happy independence day to u and yours, Monet!!!

Hello and welcome from a *ahem* fellow lady scrapper. Most people start with answering the free section on Craigs list, dumpster diving, and where I live, the dump is a good resource, but not all dumps are equal. Hope this helps and happy scrapping!

From your description of where you're from, I'd guess a lot of people have old appliances and stuff "out back of the house". Offer to clean this stuff up for them.
