tell its story, too. |

Kinda Kreepy
Enter any U.S. street address on
the
FelonSpy.com website, and find out how many
convicted felons are living in the area ... and where.

Are." Brrrr. |

"Free" Books!
Paperbackswap.com ... Whoo boy, is this a fun site! It's like an
all-you-can-read buffet. Get rid of the books you've read -- paperback,
hardback, whatever -- by exchanging them for books you haven't. Their
inventory is over 2 million books! (If you like this one
as much as I do, be sure to tell them I referred you and I'll get a free
credit. My user name over there is
MaggieBelize.) |

Fewer Catalogs,
More Trees
CatalogChoice.org ... my only regret is that I didn't find this
nifty website sooner, like before Christmas when my mailbox was
bursting with printed catalogs I didn't want! CatalogChoice is a
non-profit organization that saves trees by getting you off mailing
lists, for free. Just enter the info from the catalog's mailing
label and they take care of the rest. |

The New Mexico
Fiber Arts Trail This
FREE guidebook covers over 200 local fiber artists
and 71 different destinations in the state of New Mexico,
organized by region. You can visit artists who weave, spin,
make rugs, dye fibers, run fiber farms, galleries, "trading
posts" and fiber studios, many offering classes.
You can
download the guide
immediately, or request a copy through the website to be
delivered by snail mail. (If you're not in a hurry,
that's your best bet, because the booklet is beautifully
photographed and printed.) I also recommend their
Fiber
Arts News page. |
