Well, I've gone and done it now! I've created a blog! I've enjoyed many blogs over the past year and a half, so many of these women and men are so inspiring not only with the crafts they share but also the peeks into their lives.
I am looking for gainful employment at 55 years young. I had an awesome job with the government but as things would have it budgets were cut and I was let go along with 24 of my co-workers. That was over a year ago and still I am looking.
I've done some small jobs, enough that my friends and family think I should venture into the world of handymen & handywomen. That my friends is scary! What if I fail? What if I cannot sustain myself and my home with the small jobs I get?
So many of the bloggers I admire have given hints and tips on how to start your blog, how to start your business, and I have read every one of them thinking can I do that too?
I love a good bargain, maybe I could buy low and sell higher? I love creating items, maybe I could make some things and sell them at a bit of a profit? I love repurposing things, maybe I could buy, repair, paint, and sell at a profit?
Do I have the determination? Do I have the drive? Can I stay focused? Do I know how to make money this way?
Well there is only one way to find out. I hope to start soon. I'm almost afraid to put a deadline, an actual date to begin this venture.
I have many items in my house I can sell, because you see . . . I am a self proclaimed hoarder! I have a good eye, can see a high end item at a low price and purchase it, but can I let go of these items?
It's time to find out. Please join me in this adventure I hope it will be fun, but know it will be hard work.
