Never Before Used // #NBUS91...

The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used" ...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a Stampin Up stamp (AUTUMN SPLENDOR // 2009) that I picked up at a thrift store last November (there are still stamps in this set that I have not inked up yet)...it is a wooden red rubber set that had never been put together...so brand new, never been used!!  Oh...and I got it for $3...yippie!!
