Sorry to be MIA for the past week or so. I've had a lot on my plate with the end of school activities with my son, some unexpected news from my stepdaughter and I had the flu for a few days. So, here's a quick jumbled post and a promise that I'll post my numbers and another post I have percolating in my head right now soon.
First of all, the good stuff-
Hubby and I have talked numbers and it's official that I will be a stay/work at home mom for another year! So excited (now that I am finally getting a feel for the whole stay at home schedule) and relieved not to be trying to do job interviews right now!
What I've been working on:
cleaning/organizing my ebay room outside in my metal shop building. I found about 20 banker boxes of unlisted inventory in there that I will be working on this week and next. If I can get photos taken of it all, then it's about a weeks worth of listing for me. I was sad to discover that about half of those boxes are items that were listed on ebay, but the listings have disappeared. What a waste of time!
Hubby is going to install a heater and insulation for me in half of the shop so we can work out there this winter. It's going to involve a lot of organizing and rearranging, but will be so worth it when it's all clean and set up to store inventory and pack amazon shipments more efficiently.
It's going to be a challenge working on it with the kiddos to watch too, but it'll get done. I'll post more pictures soon.
Sales on Amazon have been steady and pretty good, especially for this time of the year. Ebay continues to be slow, but I haven't been listing a lot either. Just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day!
Social pig for etsy continues to be working out great. I only scheduled 3 items to be posted, and all 3 of them sold, the last one this morning, which was a $50 item.
Talk to you soon!
