Freecycle--Re: Isabella [1 Attachment]

[Guest guest]

Adorable painting! Yes Freecycle is amazing. I run my local freecycle group. I started the group ten years ago and then took it over again when I moved back here to the mountain. Not too long ago I posted for a grain mill for my daughter-in-law and someone responded with one! Last year I posted for a computer for my grandson and he was given a really good computer that works great. You just never know what someone will give or want. I also got a huge IKEA unit with shelves and drawers. It was new and still in the box, never assembled. Freecycle is great:) SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

<*>[Attachment(s) from Donna included below]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.
