...is another man's treasure! I belong to an email group called Freecycle. The main gist of it is that people who have stuff that is still usable they don't want now have a venue to find other people who can use the stuff instead of throwing it away. People post just about everything from cats to washing machines to clothing to food.
So far I've gotten a baby swing, grapes, stamp pads, scrapbooking paper, and a ticket to the BYU vs. UNLV game for my nephew - all for free! I also could have gotten a treadmill, but I was lazy and didn't go to pick it up in time. I got to rid the closet in the nursery of a bunch of gift bags that I'd been storing for a long time. I gave it to a lady who was making newborn kits for unwed mothers at the hospital. Isn't that great?!?! I got to clean out the closet and donate to a good cause at the same time!
I also recently posted an offer for calligraphy services, and I got a HUGE response! I now have loads of opportunities to get some projects going and really get me practicing this talent. I'm super excited! I love you, Freecycle!

I so want to join that! How do you do it? I have a ton of stuff in the garage that I want GONE! Just don't tell Landon :)
we got our piano on the Ann Arbor freecycle list a few weeks back. I'm a HUGE fan. :)
