clay memorabilia needs a good home

[Couch Tomato]

Hi Everybody...I am moving in 2 weeks and taking my own advice by not just packing up and taking everything with me. I have some Clay things that I am giving away. All you need to do is say that you want it and it's yours. I will add the items to this first post as I come across them. I'm sure most fans have this stuff but maybe there is a thing or two missing from your collection. Keep your eyes peeled here.

Damn, sorry about the quadruple post.

Here is what I have so far. Anything not taken by January 3rd will get donated to NIP through From Claygary.

That is super nice of you! You have posted this many duplicate times by accident.

[clayschampion]

Hi Couch Tomato I am anxiously awaiting your post! Clayschampion

[Desertrose]

Hi Couchie,

Will wait to see your list.

[ldyjocelyn]

Heck, there's some things I'M missing. Can't wait to see your list....

[gbmifan]

I also am missing some things since I came into the online fan stuff not until late 2004

[claywithme]

Hello there Couch Tomato

I still have an entire Clay Room and would love to give your Clay memorabilia a good home. I am never giving up my room unless I pass away. My husband has instructions to donate everything I have to the National Inclusion Project at that time. Hopefully not too soon though. I would be happy to give you my email address and send pics of my collection so you can see that I am serious. I attached one here too. I still check Ebay for items to buy and there is a small group of girls I still email that trade pins with me.

Please consider me for you offer.

Thank you so much,

[claywithme]

I forgot to mention in my reply that I will pay for shipping.

Thanks again,

Claywithme

[FromClaygary]

Looking forward to the list as well, would love to have some things for the NIP.

[msclaylady]

I still love Clay even though he is not on the charts and I will take whatever you have my address if 50 Taylor Lane Concord NH 03303 and my name is Debbie Stauffer

[preden]

[RubyR43]

Hi, couch tomatoe---I'm still Clayverting folks lol I can use more of Clay's cds to give away. I don't have all of them anymore...If you can spare the MOAM cds & ATDW cd It would be appreciated and put to good use. I still love this man and always will. I'm sooo saddd that there won't be more cds or tours. We had so many great times together!

Please let me know......and Thanks. Sincerely, RUBY

Hi, Rochelle33.... long time, no see.

[luckiest1]

I'd take the AIW EP for sure, and the Christmas ornament. I'll pay shipping of course.

[LovesClayalot]

Hi couch tomatoe

I would like the Christmas post card if it is still available. I will pay mailing costs.

[whatavoice]

couchie, you have a lot of nice Clay stuff to find homes for. I would be interested in the hardback, Learning to Sing - I have the paperback version, but the pages are falling out, so I'd really like to upgrade. However, if someone who doesn't have the book at all would like to have it, they should have priority.

For some reason, I'm thinking we both live in the bay area(SJ?), so, if so, I can come by and pick it up.

[david1darlene]

6. Clay Christmas wrap - one of the Xmas tours (2 packs)

9. Lighting and Sound Magazine - Clay on cover (story on the idol tour)

Luckiest - so true. I know I'm giving a lot of stuff away but I am keeping some very special things. The magazines they are just sitting in a box. gathering dust. I'd rather give them to someone who will at least look at it from time to time LOL.
