Selling arts and crafts on Ebay

My sister was telling me that she was thinking about starting to sell some of her arts and crafts work on Ebay.  Lots of her friends have been encouraging to try to do that, insisting that she could make a killing doing that.  She has several friends that DO make a lot of money on Ebay, and they have told her that they will help her with the red-tape if she has any problems or questions.  Their enthusiasm has got her all pumped up about making money selling her crafts.

Towards that end, she is going to need to buy a Shipping Scale to help her to determine the postal rates of items that she will be offering for sale.  Scales are vital because she needs to know how much the item weighs (including the shipping box and stuffing) in order to calculate the shipping charges that she will have to quote on Ebay.  She has already accumulated enough boxes to get her started as far as that end goes, and she has lots of old newspapers saved up for stuffing the boxes.

I suggested that she try to find one that is compact so that she can tuck it away into her cupboard when she doesn’t need to use it.

Planning weddings

I love to plan weddings.  A wedding is a time of hope, romance, and excitement.  Girls start planning their weddings almost from the moment they are born! I love looking at the different wedding favors and gifts that people can buy to give their guests or their bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Personalized Money Clips are a great idea to give as gifts to the groomsmen!

Getting a nose job

My sister needs to have her deviated septum in her nose fixed. The procedure is known by several different names; rhinoplasty, nose surgery, nose job are all names for the same procedure. (I think.)  She’s been putting off having the procedure done because she is concerned about the discomfort level during the healing process.  But she really needs to have it done; her deviation is so severe that it is causing her to have chronic sinusitis.  She has a constant sinus headache, and is sniffling all of the time.

I am trying to encourage her to have the procedure done, I am sure that once it is done she will be much more comfortable the rest of her life.  At this point in time every time she catches a cold it always turns into a sinus infection and she is miserable for weeks on end.  Especially since she moved to a different state and her new doctor doesn’t want to give her the antibiotics that she needs to clear up the sinus infection.  Last winter she was sick for four whole months because of that!  So, she really needs this nose job.  I’m going to try to get my girlfriend that had the surgery done last year talk to about it and see if it might calm her nerves about it.

Custom embroideried sweatshirts

I’m going to be going on a vacation this fall with a small group of friends.  We’ll be going to Bar Harbor, Maine for the Columbus Day Weekend.  We’re going there because the weather will be nice and the fall foliage will be at peak and we’ll be able to get off-season rates on the hotel rooms.  We’ve agreed to order matching sweatshirts with custom embroidery on the shirts to commemorate the trip.  We’ll be ordering them from the bluecotton.com website.  My girlfriend says her office has ordered from them before and they were very pleased with the quality of the shirts and the embroidery.
