I can't believe I did this! I've sold a lot of things on EBay, and I know how fickle buyers can be, but I stupidly listed a denim jacket I had hand-decorated a few years ago with a starting price of $0.99 (at eBay's suggestion to get a lot of early bids). Well, guess what it sold for - $0.99!! Now I am obligated to mail my jacket (see picture below) out to some girl in Colorado and only get less than a dollar for my efforts. I feel like such a fool, but it was my own fault. I should have just given the thing away instead of trying to make money off of something I never wear. Let that be a lesson to everyone, give it away, rather than being greedy. Here's a picture of the jacket with "Bling":
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

TEMPORARY E-BAY SELLER - THAT'S ME!
I have decided that I will never again be employed as a nurse - at least not if I can help it! Therefore, I am selling all of my uniforms on eBay. In case you're interested in some good deals, my eBay name is "laurakim". I have sold the first three (for mere pittance), but I am listing some others for this next week. I had no idea I had so many cute Christmas uniforms. They were so cute, and hardly worn at all. I could have given them to Goodwill, I guess, but I thought maybe they would find better homes on eBay. I'm also starting to sell some scrapbooking stuff. Selling on eBay is fun, but I hate messing with the shipping and handling. I have no idea how much it's going to cost to ship something, so I always underestimate the shipping. We used to have a store that would sell things on eBay for you (for a percentage, of course), but they closed down. Now I'm stuck trying to do it myself again. Eventually I'll get frustrated and just start throwing everything away that I don't use anymore, and there's a lot of it. I'm a bit of a hoarder of Cricut cartridges, I must admit. I must have over 80 of them! I know it's obsessive, but it's like I just have to have them, especially those that make cute cards. I'm trying to find some nice way to store all those cartridges that won't take up a lot of space. Right now I'm storing the cartridges in divided fishing tackle boxes, but they won't hold the booklets, and I can't do without them! If anyone who visits this blog has some good storage ideas for that many Cricut cartridges with the books, let me know.

STARTING A NEW PROJECT
Hello to all. I know I haven't written much lately, and that's because I've started on another album project and it's taking me a while. I finished my Spring Basket, and now I'm going to try to sell it on eBay. I made a video showing it because I think you can put videos on eBay now. We'll see. The new project I'm working on is "Confessions of a Shopaholic", again inspired by Kathy from "Paper Phenomenon". I bought one of her kits, so now all I have to do is put follow the instructions and put it together. I'll show it to you as I go along. Hope you all enjoyed the Scottish Parade we went to. LOL!
