WOW

I was suprised to see a message from an fellow ebayer that had previously seen my listing for a cute Royal Rose Creamer. Now, a few months later she is interested in buying it... It's great that she can research an expired listing, and contact me to see if it is still for sale. I am excited that this is happening!!

I am going to my first ebay class tonight and am excited about this also. I am praying that it will help me to feel more comfortable with what i am selling and how i am going about it. I have looked at several sites that show how to display jewelry to sell and am getting this together also.

God will guide me through the steps that i need to take to be successful. I can do the work i just need a litte push!!

what do i do?

I am in the middle of looking for some sort of way to earn some income. i am trying to sell things on ebay and have sold a few things in the past.
Now i am looking for a source to sell other things and i am getting more and more confused the more i research on the web. there is wholesale- drop-ship places that "claim" to do just that. the more i research , i am finding that there are loads of people being ripped off by doing this. where are the reputable companies willing to sell products without a middleman?? any input would be greatly appreciated. has anyone gone through this? what are your experiences? i would love to hear what you have done.

I have been a crafter for a while now and have made jewelry that i am going to put on to a site and sell. I am feeling that this is my calling. err go..I love working with my hands and i want to sell the jewelry i make. seems logical and easy enough...
i am on my way to photograph my jewelry and post it.

I'm Hoping

I'm hoping that this post will post today. I've been having problems with it taking and have missed several days because of this. Today will be good, i feel it!

I've been feeling very ho-hum lately. Must be all the snow outside that is forcing me to cocoon in the house. Today is 44 degrees and i will make it a priority to get out and walk around the
neighborhood. Fresh air is wonderful when you are feeling a little depressed. Exercise and fresh air for me today will refresh & energize my body and bring me back to life. I will inhale all the cool air and listen to the birds chirping while walking slowly and taking it all in.

Ive got books & DVD's due at the library. I will watch my DVD-The Leading Man with Jon Bon Jovi this week. That will cheer me.

My friend Amy stopped by over the weekend and she is always so cheerful. She says it has to do with the drugs shes on for OCD. Maybe, but i know when i talk to her she is truly interested in what is going on in my life and she will always be there to listen to me ramble. She likes to ramble too though and I think im a pretty good friend and listener.

On Saturday night Bob & Kim came over and had dinner with us. It turned out pretty good actually. Im always a little nervous that they wouldnt like what i make. But Mike assures me that i am a good cook and it turned out just fine. Mike always knows the right things to say to me when im unsure of myself. I on the other hand, insert my foot into my mouth quite often and make him feel badly. This is not how I feel but it is how it turns out and i need to change that. Mike is always doing for everyone and he doesnt know what a good husband, & father he is to us. The kids sometimes dont show the best manners in appreciating what he does and it does get to be a problem sometimes. They are getting older and hopefully wiser. I try to talk to them at their level & to make them understand how things work and how people feel. It is a lifelong struggle to keep at it. I know that God is looking over me to keep me on the right track. Im always asking for direction and listening to hear his answers. I think I am getting better at listening and being more aware of what i am supposed to do. God has a plan for me and i am trying to do what is expected of me. I pray for guidance in my everyday tasks and look for more in life to fulfill me and sustain my family. Thanks be to God!

Our cats

Tasha, Sierra & Autumn. These are our cats. They love us. They keep our feet warm at night. They purr gently into our ears and knead our chest just to be close & show us they care. They climb up to the top bunk and sleep wit Justin or curl up with David or Jonny. They are the three musketeers.

Sometimes they keep us up at night because there is no food in the bowl. Sometimes we get out the flashlight to see what they are doing in the dark, and if they are really get into something and keep us awake, we get out the squirt gun to show them we mean business.

I love them dearly...

Weather is a funny thing... a month ago it was well into the 60's and now it's in the single digits.
Today i took my boys to the Nobottom Road sledding hill. It was a wonderful 8 degrees and the sun was shining down on us. I shall call it a beautiful day. When we arrived a handful of kids were already there having fun. Linking arms and sliding down the hill, arm in arm on each of their sleds & saucers. Laughter all around. I was the only 47 year old on the hill im sure. I was exhilarated gliding down the hill at such a fast speed & not having total control of my blue sled. Going face first was the best!! I felt young & loved every minute of it! We will go again tomorrow since it is another Snow Day for the kids and NO SCHOOL! Brrr...
