Hello Winter

Luke 1:78-79, “Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” (NLT)

It got pretty cool yesterday.  I slept pretty good last night.  Having headache and back ache made my put off my last batch of cookies for today.  Now I wish I had powered through.  I bought a new crockpot, broke the crock for my other one.  Looked online and couple thrifts, could not readily find a new crock.  I will keep the shell and lid for a couple months...see if I can find another crock.  If not, I can trash then.

Woke up yesterday at 4am...stayed in bed till 6 and got up.  Watched the sun come up.

Later in the day, we moved around some stuff so that we could move my truck in the shop.  It really makes things tight in there, but the truck is new and expensive, so we wanted to store inside.  I finally got all the commission friend's sister's shoes listed on Poshmark.  I have 146 left, but they are all cleaned and listed.  I brought all the boots back in my house, hoping I can get them all sold by end of February.  The boxes of shoes I have narrowed down to at lieast a single file against far wall of the shop, allowing the truck in.   I have 41 of my own listings, mostly jeans and shoes.  I have sold gross of over $600 for her and couple hundred for myself.  I am saving up for another pair or 2 of tennis shoes.  They are all I wear now.  So I am just going to embrace it.

My high school class is planning a late January get together.  I have been working on it with my friend.  I have to use DH phone.  No telling when mine will be back.  She laughs and tells me she found ANOTHER BOX of shoes.  They are totally ok with and I am thinking someday...if all the stuff is listed and I don't want to perpetually stock my inventory...I will let the listings dwindle and I will either donate the last bit, or take them somewhere to sell in person on commission.  I will see what happens.  My friend said, get what I can and donate the rest.  They just needed them gone.

What are you donating?  Baking?  Hope your day is filled with Christmas preparations and happy planning!

I Have Been Busy

But what I have accomplished...well, that remains a mystery.

Monday I made venison goulash and lemon bars and did power yoga. Since it was after December 1, Goodwill took my Christmas tree donation.  I had a large one and DH a large one when we married.  I donated them couple years ago.  This house had a fairly large one left in the attic.  I am going to find a really slim one.

I decided to duck in and take a look at shoes.  I found several nice brands, no or very light wear.  I bought 6 pair for $45.  I listed 3 for over $100.

I set up spreadsheet for my 2 consign projects.  I am selling for 2 disabled people and just taking expenses and 10%.

Tuesday we had to go to other side of county.  I popped in another.   Bingo.  I found Stuart Weitzman,  Lucky Brand,  Vince Camuto,  Cole Haan, Merrell, Nine West...basically perfectly condition.  Guess I will see if I can make some fun money.  I spent $15 on 3 more jeans and $40 tues.  My outlay is now $100.

I paid one client his $100 for 6 pair of jeans I sold.  He was pretty happy.  And gave me another pair...of Levi's with tags still on them.

Jeans are $5 and shoes $4 (and go on up) at Goodwill.  I sold a bunch over the weekend...and not a darn thing since!

I am currently working on updating photos.   I made a very amateur "light box" with a light and filter to help my photographs.  Cross your fingers!

Dec 3 was take a walk...I will do tomorrow.   Was too cold yesterday and too busy today. Dec 4 call someone you love.  I called my Granny.

Today was clear your room or desk of clutter.  That's already done.  Tomorrow is take a social media sabbatical.   I will even stay off my phone tomorrow.   Be back here Friday!

Have a great Thursday!
