Quick Hello

 I am currently on Thanksgiving break from school, which means a week of ebay and amazon craziness for me, so I wouldn't say it's a break from work, just a different kind of work.

It's been a while since I checked in, so I'll give you a quick update.

I decided to send all of my toy stock in to FBA. I've been working really hard on boxing it up and getting it in there. So far I've sent 35 boxes of various sizes and I have 80% to Amazon right now. It's been very busy for me on there, and I'm glad to be raking in some dough without having to do all of the packaging myself.  I think I still have about 20 or so smaller or odd shaped boxes to go. It doesn't go very fast for me anymore as I am having some issues with my back and my leg giving out on me if I stand or sit for very long, and I have o have my hubby lift all of the full boxes for me.

After my toys are sent in to FBA I plan on spending the rest of the week trying to get all of my Christmas stuff listed on Ebay. It should have been done months ago, and my plan was to get it all listed by July, but morning sickness kinda got in the way. I'll just keep plugging along as best I can and do what I can do.


Sales had been pretty slow for most of October and the beginning of November, but are picking up more everyday. Yeah!

I have one BOLO for you, then I have to get back to work and try to slam out 4-5 more boxes before my Hubby gets home.

I found this Mary Engelbreit Angel at Goodwill last week during their half off sale. It was blizzarding like crazy, but my sweet hubby still stopped and waited with our sleeping 3 year old in the car. I picked this angel up for $3.50, and I listed it at auction with a reserve of $50.  (thank you worthpoint!)
I had one lady bid on it, but it didn't meet the reserve. She contacted me a few days later and said she would pay $40. I didn't get back to her right away due to morning sickness, but she must have paniced, because she emailed me this morning and said she'd paid the $50. It did have the original box which I think helped the value a lot. I'm still waiting on her payment, but I'm pretty sure she'll come thru.

I show what I've been busy listing for christmas in a few days, until then happy thanksgiving!

Oh, and on a more personal note. . .  we decided to found out the baby's sex this time.  We are so excited to announce that we are having a baby girl! Bring on the pink stuff! I've already been scoping out the thrift stores for girly clothes and I am excited to start getting everything organized for our little one!

I'm back......

Whoa Friends, has it been a long time! Hard to believe my last post was over 3 years ago- but here I am. A few things have changed- I am now...
