I'm hoping to turn my Gift Baskets into a sideline soon. I use my friends and family as Guinea Pigs. ;)

I sell used books on the web as my home business, so I'm always in the Thrift Stores scrounging for books and other treasures. I can't believe the deals I've gotten on mixed bags of yarns and the like. Granted, you have to take some ugly stuff, but I've found $10+ skeins of hand-dyed yarns and Alpaca wools and the like buried in those bags, too.

I like putting together the Gift Baskets; gives me an excuse to be creative, plus shop year 'round for goodies, LOL!

I want to find a way to incorporate "reFURbished" Teddy Bears and bear-themed books as gifts for kids, too.

Too many ideas; never enough time or money! :)

It's fascinating to read these threads and see the creativity and resourcefulness of Freepers.

I'm inspired and humbled. But feel so lucky to have a forum to spin my ideas out, too. Sometimes they seem more real to read about them in black and white. :-)

I know that politics is the backbone of FR, it's nice to read the food threads, though, and now these.

Off to rest my arm in a hot tub. I can see the end of the warp, I will finish tomorrow! Yay!!!

Night all, thanks KaC. ;-)
