Hi Everyone! I am happy to be here. I am also excited by the prospect of receiving so many thrifty fun ideas to add to the ones I already use on a daily basis. Reuse and recycle are the buzz words of today...freecycling is a new and wonderful addition to our society, as well. I am an artist and a craftsperson, who is hoping to support herself in a sustainable, non-corporate manner...all while enjoying what is left of my time on this earth. Thanks for the opportunity to have more fun being thrifty! Laura
