If you have not tried Freecycle, let me say that it is such a great concept. I

have given away so many things, including a feeder/hopper that I didn't really

want to throw away. I don't really like donating to Goodwill, since it tends to

mark up items so much. I could get a T shirt on sale from Fred Meyer for what a

used T shirt from Goodwill would cost. And the shirt from Fred Meyer would be

new.

Anyway, one of the members in my watercolor group suggested that I get some TV

trays. So, I posted an ad on Freecycle letting the members know that I was

looking for TV trays. By the next day, I had gotten a reply from a member who

said that she had a complete set that I could have. So, now, I have a place to

paint. Although, it is one of those places that has to be folded up and put

away every night. My room just isn't big enough to leave the trays up. I use

one for my paints and water bucket, along with rags, sponges, and whatever other

tools that I think I might need. The other one is where I put my watercolor

block. I use an old computer desk chair to sit on. Since the TV trays are

lower than a regular table, I had to push and pound the desk chair down until it

was the right height. The good thing is I no longer have to lean on my bed.

Anyway, I have sort of finished this painting of Isabella. She is the

granddaughter of one of the circulation assistants at our city library.
