New Category: Free & Fun!

With the posts today I am introducing a new category: Free & Fun! I hope you'll find some new ideas to enjoy without having to go out and buy anything. As I get the time, I'll go back through the archives and add to the category. I'll be assuming that you have the most basic of supplies needed for these projects already at home or in your recycle bin. Feel free to send me any submissions that would be good for this category too :)
