#47 - Place at least one item on Freecycle once a month

I placed four things on Freecycle in February, but only two of them have been claimed. (I am playing email run around with the other two items that are wanted, but have not been picked up).

So what did I Freecyle?

  1. My old sewing machine since I have a spiffy new one to use. It went to special needs preschool program, so that made me feel good about putting it on Freecycle.
  2. A collection of holiday teddy bears. The last thing my kid needs is more stuffed animals. The lady who took them was so thankful she even gave me hug. She was giving them to her niece.

I guess I will be reposting the other two items not yet picked up and will get to count those as items Freecycled in March :)

#47 - Freecycle once a month

January - Let's Pretend Elmo
Since TemTem received Elmo Live for Christmas from her Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tina, there was no reason to keep around the ill-fated Let's Pretend Elmo (I'll save the story that goes along with him for another day, as it would definitely place me atop my soap box). So I posted it on North Dallas Freecycle yesterday, and today the new owner picked it up for her grandson. I even put new batteries in it too! Funny thing is that as soon as I pulled it down and put new batteries in it, TemTem wanted to play with it. But now that it's gone (luckily she did not witness the transaction), I know she won't miss it. In fact, she's playing with Elmo Live right now. (If I hear that darn "Why is six afraid of seven?" joke one more time......)
