garage sale
god i could die. i've been working on prepping this garage sale for a good solid week now (it was a neighborhood thing and my sister brought a ton of stuff out to sell with us) and we were working from 7am yesturday til 6pm (with set up and clean up) and you want to know how much i made?
$15.50
my sister made more (not nearly as much as she wanted mind but moor at least) and my mum made more too. but my god, i spent SO MUCH time working first on my stuff and then helping my sister get ready. and i had tis plan that the money i made would help fund start-up jewelry costs cause i need another pait of pliers and some more wire and preferebly more beads but at this rate i dont even know if i'm going to have enough to pay a library fine.
i guess this was a good experience though--its not me never to do a garage sale like this again. at least never to put so much work into it thats for sure.
i think i'm still going to try to sell my books at one of the local used book stores maybe but only if they're willing to give me a descent amount of money cause i have a lot, most of them are series book from a couple that i really really read as a child and over half are in new condition so they really could sell. or i might put them on CraigsList and see if anyone bites on the price i'd like for them.
final note, new piece of artwork
