31 Days of Tracking Spending--Day 3

Ooops....I forgot to ask hubby about his spending today before he went to bed!

I know today I shopped at Walgreen's.  Nothing too exciting this week on sale so I used my $2 register rewards towards Halloween pencils and activity books.  Not too much spent.

I am in the Spooky Celebration today and bought some sachets on special from one gal for a total of $5.  I plan on purchasing from another gal this evening.  So yeah, pretty much needless spending, but I do like to support other work at home persons when I can.   I'm up to present at 8 pm CST if you see this and would like to stop in.  I also present again on Friday at 3 pm CST.  Just click the button to check it all out.  Loads of fun! 
 

I will have to remember to ask about today and tomorrow when he gets off work tomorrow.  Want to bet he tells me he can't remember??

I finished the table runner and the lap quilt.  Both are now listed in my etsy store:

Christmas Table Runner 

Lap Quilt 

I'm working on getting more items moved over to my zibbet store.  I need to have all of them moved over before my first presentation time at the Spoooky Celebration.

Hey....by accident when I sold a book on half.com and went to print out the packing slip, I found out that there is a link to just the books that I have for sale.   I've added 2 more books to my listings.  You can check them out here:  Half.com / Shops / marsha32 / Books

Thanks to Ruthi's ( a bitosunshine) Shop Hop post last week I am now also linking up on the 1st and 15th with Pixel Berry Pie Designs Shop Hop Linky as well.   Click both buttons to hop along and share with others, or show your support.

 

 

Lots Going on in My Business World--Shop Hop Saturday 9/24

I'm still working on getting myself prepared for my presentation spots at the Spoooky Celebration with the Online Craft Mall. I have my spots set. You will find me presenting on Monday Oct. 3 from 8-8:45 pm CST and on Friday October 7 from 3-3:45 pm CST. Spots are still available but must be purchased by Monday, September 26 to get in on the action. This is truly a fun time. I just ended a giveaway here on my blog to give away a free spot. I only had 2 entrants. I think the online parties are something that not many know about, but I do know that hundreds, or even thousands of my connections online sell their wares online.



I added another set of the Country Yellow washcloths to my etsy store as well as a set of 3 in Cream.

Cotton Crocheted Washcloth...

marsha32

$6.00 USD

I am in hopes of completing a lap quilt and a Christmas table runner for my new listings next week.

I move 3 more items over to my Zibbet store giving me 17 listings there now.  I still have several more items to get moved over this next week. 

I put up 3 new listings on Listia today:

25 Box Tops for Education 

Cute Autumn/Fall Bookmarks--Set of 5 

Cute Halloween Bookmarks--Set of 5 

If you aren't a member listia, it's a really neat website.  Use your points to buy things that you want and need from others.  It's a bidding site with your points.  You can use this link to sign up and receive  100 bonus points for signing up.  You can easily earn points to bid on items even if you don't "sell" anything yourself by sharing auctions, logging in etc.   Over my time as a member I have filled goody bags of small items for 4 of my grandchildren, I've gotten a movie, 7 or 8 music cd's, a quilt book, 2 shipments of fabric, thread, and a lot more!

I believe that is it for my report today.  I am linking up with the Shop Hop Saturday over at abitosunshine.  Come hop along with us!

 

Win a Spot at the Spooooky Celebration with the Online Craft Mall!!

I have talked about the online craft mall several times in my posts. I've been a member of the mall for many years.

We are getting back to having the online parties!! Starting with the Spoooky Celebration!

I am offering up for giveaway your own 45 minute vendor spot to sell your wares. Whether you sell for a direct selling company such as Tupperware, Avon, Mary Kay etc (Pampered Chef is already taken), sell your own hand crafted items, or sell your creations in cafepress, Zazzle etc, you will want to check out being a vendor.

The Spooky Celebration takes place Monday October 3, Wednesday October 5, and Friday October 7 from Noon to 10 pm CST each of the 3 days. Prize drawings are live on camera!

For full vendor information please visit http://www.online-craft-show.com/Halloween/

Not interested in being a vendor? Join us and support the vendors. It's a lot of fun with workshops, games, prizes, scavenger hunts, and the trip through the haunted house too!

Let's find a winner!! If you don't win and would like to buy a 45 minutes presentation time, please do so by the cut off date of September 26.

I can't say enough about what a good time these parties are!

Back in Business!

I've been doing pretty well lately of getting a couple things listed in my etsy store each week and working on my zibbet store.....as well as working on other ventures....for the past few weeks.  I hope to continue!

I've been crocheting away on my cotton washcloths.  I am almost done with all of those so that I can move on to another project.  Honestly, I have enough craft supplies in this house to keep me busy for the next 10 years.  It's all a matter of finding the time I want and need to get things made!

I do have a couple more things to list in my etsy shop, but I did add 1 more to the quantity of the Cotton Washcloths set of 3 in Country Mauve, and the Pebble Baby Bibs.  (I already am about to list a couple more items too!)

I move 3 more items from my expired list on etsy over to my zibbet store.

I didn't get anymore books listed to half.com yet, but I did sell a book.    I'm concerned on how they pay to my checking account instead of to paypal, but it doesn't look like there is any other choice.  I have some personal issues with my checking acct. but hopefully can transfer the money to my paypal.

I've paid for one spot in the Spookky Celebration and may get another one.   I will be making more posts announcing the celebration as time gets closer.   If you've not checked it out, I really encourage you to do so.  Ralyn puts in a lot of work putting these together.  It's a very fun time for both those of us who are vendors as well as the guests that come to the party.

Spoooooky Celebration!!

For this week's Shop Hop I would like to highlight the upcoming Spooooky Celebration with the Online Craft Mall. 
I've updated my Online Craft Mall squidoo lens to include this information as well. 

Ralyn, the owner of the online craft mall is working hard to bring back our online parties. The Spoooky Celebration is a great one to start with. She spends a lot of time putting together haunted houses to go through as part of the games and things. (Games get you entries to win prizes) 

If you sell online, we hope you will consider joining us for the celebration. Spots are just $5 each for 45 minutes of presentation time. If you know others who sell online, please help us spread the word. I hope to see all of you joining us for the fun, games, prizes, and sales too! Please click the banner for full information. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

 

In other news, I've listed 2 more items in my etsy store:

Cotton Crocheted Washcloths Set of 3 in Black and Sage

Baby Bibs Set of 2 with Pebbles

I also got 2 more items moved over to my zibbet store:

Strip (or String) Quilt

Strip Quilt Pillows

I also updated my Zazzle Custom Postage Stamps squidoo page again.  I didn't add anything new but put in about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

I added just 2 more books to my half.com.  Is there a way to promote just the books you have for sale there?  I was looking but I'm not seeing anything like the about me page over on ebay.

That's all for me this week.  I want to thanks Ruthi of abitosunshine for offering this shop hop blog hop for us.  It keeps me inspired to continue to work to add things to my shops.  Please click the button below and join us and/or support others who are working from home.
