Grandma's Pearls

It's been a while...

The last time I posted anything on my blog has been quite a while back. Truthfully, it has been over a week. I have just had a lot of things going on around the house and I have been trying to get some of my craft stuff done for the holidays. Not Labor day but stuff for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make all kinds of things and sell them at flea markets and to friends and family. I thought about selling some of the things on Ebay or maybe setting up my own web page. All of that takes some money and I have none to spare right now. Most of the things that I make, are not made with the most expensive material but they will last for a few years if taken care of properly. For example, I make Autumn wreaths, but most of the supplies are from the dollar store or local discount store. I still have one of the centerpieces that I made about 5 years ago. It still looks great on the table. I just enjoy making seasonal craft items and painting and making jewelry. I haven't made a lot of jewelry so I'm still considered a newbie where that is concerned. But, I do make some really awesome christmas ornaments and they are not the kind that you might find at Hobby Lobby or Michael's either. I thought about sending some of them to Martha Stewart but then, I don't have a patent on them and I might lose the idea to her company. But, then again, I might be able to sell the idea to her also. Guess that deserves some more investigating on my part. I have also been looking into ways to make money online, since I am home all day. Does anyone know of a legitimate on line job, i.e. rebate processor, typing4dollars or something like that? It would be great if I can find something like that that is not going to cost me my first born child. I don't think she would like that since she is grown and has her own kids. I'll log back on in a few days with an update on other stuff that has been going on around here these past few days. Hope that everyone has a great weekend!!
