I am so sorry we have been off the grid for so long. The mother Freecycle.org site gave us grief for having our own blog site. Since the first of December, we have decided our group is OUR group and our blog is OUR blog; they cannot tell us how to communicate with our members. So I hope this is a pleasant welcome back into your lives.

We found some fun FREE Christmas tags you might like to use:
