    Thanks for posting the link Droopy. It's just the thing for me as I'm an 'oldie' and need help when I have to convert anything.

    I like www.freecycle.org because you can give stuff away and find stuff. It is better than it ending up in landfills polluting the environment.

    Oh and craigslist.org also has a free section. You can give stuff away or barter stuff you have for something you need. A few months back they added a farm & garden section where you can buy or sell farm & garden related stuff.

    If you use it remember it is nothing like ebay and avoid scammers by selling and dealing with cash and locally. Don't fall for the scammers that ask you to send something through the mail.

    I wouldn't normally think of putting in a link to a commercial site, but this one is just fun to look at, it's all Swedish antiques and artwork, so cute!

    I was sent this site in a e-card that my friend uploaded one of her pics an used as the card.. it was a pic of her garden, turned into a jig-saw puzzle.. really cute.

    Since i have no flowers to post, this site is full of beautiful garden an flower pic made into puzzles.

    Biita, I used to spend a whole lot of time at jigzone a couple of years ago.
    I like doing the puzzles using either the tiny triangle shapes or rectangles.
