Outback & Sewing

New update.
Tonight I vow to pull out my little sewing machine that could and get sewing. I have fabric, I have buttons, and I have the will.

I found a sewing machine at Walmart that I want SUPER bad. It is just a simple Brother 50 stitch, but so glamorous compared to what I have. I may be slow at the knitting I have started, but maybe sewing is my "thing" that is so little j.

The avon selling has been going really well. I like it much more then I thought I would, whenever I get a new order and stop to input it I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Strange since I really haven't done much.
I have even gotten a couple of recruits, which is awesome. Now I just worry about keeping my sales up. I have to meet a minimum to qualify for a percentage of my recruits or "downline" sales. If anyone has any ideas or tips please feel free to let me know!

Etsy is doing well, it has slowed down a little bit with an order or two a week, but still fun and exciting. I am hoping that it will pick up a little before the holidays.

Tonight is dinner at Outback with my grandparents, my two favorite people in the world (besides my husband of course). Is is their wedding anniversary (53 I think?)And somehow we have a tradition of me going out to dinner with them for it! So silly but fun. I do love to spend time with them. Last year Chad and I went. Good times.

I am ready for the weekend. Sleep, more sleep and a possible Ren Faire. Weekends never are quite long enough.

Also grateful for the headphones to keep me out of office BS.

Lava,

Kristin

Take One

This is my first attempt at writing a blog. Not just a blog, I have written plenty of those. Instead writing a blog that people will actually WANT to read.

Here is the story. I have been working over the past several months to make extra money outside of my regular job. I have been successful in some ways, and not so successful in others.

I have learned SO many things from others blogs, about saving money, about smart tips, about making and keeping money, that I decided to start my own blog.

Don't expect expert advice, just the opinion of someone that has been there, or is currently there, or is on her way.

The beginning of this blog will focus on my selling records for Ebay, Etsy, mark. & Avon Makeup and other small ventures.

Welcome.

And enjoy the successes and mistakes along the way.
