3. I do not use any of these places. I do use goodwill sometimes to bring clothes when I'm done using them. I don't really know why I don't use these places. It's probably because I didn't really know where any of these places were or what they offered. Now that I do know I may consider it more often in the future.
Part 3
1. Yo-yo Picture Hanger - I really think this is a great idea because it's very different. It incorporates pictures which I love and it also incorporates color and a different sense of style. I would be very interested in doing this!
Skateboard towel hanger - I like this because it is very different than other things and I think it gives a cute touch to the bathroom. I think this is a unique idea and something I could definitely throw together!
Shadow box - I like the Shadow box because it's very cute and it uses old things to make new things to decorate your room or home. It also seems pretty easy to do!
