Ideas for you as a WAHM:
make quilts! I have a friend who did this. She sewed and then paid some women at a senior citizens day program to do the quilting. I have 4 of them!
alterations-You could make a fortune. $15-$20 for a simple hem! A lady in our smallish town-20000- has opened a business doing this and she is busy all the time.
clothing construction- My DSIL is +sized and has a seamstress who makes all of her special occasion clothes. She charges $500-$900 and that doesn't include the fabric!!!! That is strictly her fee for constructing the garments.
I agree with this. JB, I remember you posting a pic of one of your quilts that you were working on before. You could make them and sell them to people in your area, and put some on Ebay as well. If I saw one that was "right" for me, I'd buy one from you gladly.
Just have to post - I'm at Disney!!! We're having a great time. It's cool (67 for a high) clear and the crowds are light. This is awesome!
Lucky duck! Hope y'all continue having a great time! Eat a serving of School Bread in Norway for me! And maybe a sweet cream cheese filled pretzel from Tomorrowland too.
Just wanted to subscribe to this great thread. Thanks.
Hiya! Hope you'll join in and post with us.
Hi y'all!!! I'm disappointed, I expected y'all to be on a new thread by now
. I still don't want to go back and catch up - too long. But I think for our next title it should be The Conservative Thread - don't blame us, we voted for McCain!
Seriously though, I'm half glad McCain didn't get it - especially with the way he's acting now. We need strong conservatives folks!
Heh. I saw the video of McCain with Obama this morning, and I just shook my head. I know this will get some up in arms, but I'm seriously just counting the days until he pokes the conservatives in the eye yet again. Because he's a "Maverick!" Why else ya think I have always hated him saying "My friends..."? You aren't my friend!
Don't get me wrong, I respect his service to the country so much, and how he was an example of loyalty and honor when he was a POW. I appreciate his stance on the surge and some other things. But otherwise, I am not a fan. Never have been, and the election did not change that.
Hey everybody... just checking in and wishing every one well.
Guess what! I just registered yesterday for a continuing ed event in ORLANDO the first week of January. Leadership team features lots of creative types from Disney parks. The event includes a day in MK with some behind the scenes peeks, guided touring, and an emphasis on connecting with how Disney uses creativity (and how participants can use that in various settings).
Sounds like I went into the wrong profession. I want a business related trip to Orlando!
Hi guys. I've not been on for several days. My father passed away Friday. This, plus the fact that me and my DD have been sick has left me pretty bummed right now -- I haven't even watched the news since last Friday. I'll try to get caught up with you all but I am going out of town the rest of this week for work. Anyhow -- didn't want you to think I've abandoned you guys.
AP, I'm so sorry. Y'all have continued to be in my prayers. I know I'm not near you geographically, but still please let me know if you need anything.
Uggh! It's too early for me to be getting Christmas greetings from
anybody.
I'm one of those scroogey types who bravely resists all things Christmasy until the day after Thanksgiving,
then I turn into a big ol' sentimental puddle of holiday sappiness and joy.
I was shopping in Kohl's earlier this evening and my eye started twitching when they played "Here Comes Santa Clause!"
NOOOOOOO, it's too early for this! Sigh.
i heard exerpts from you-know-who's book, dreams from my father, (in his own voice from books on tape) and he sounded pretty intolerant of caucasians, i must say.
Ever read MO's college thesis? That isn't so great either.
So is anyone here part of the "bunch of folks" who declared that racism is dead??
I'm so sorry AP. Wish I was more eloquent but you're in my prayers.
I also bought Christmas Sweater since a couple of you mentioned it was really good. Now, if only I'll stop staying on this site so much, maybe I'll actually get to read them. 
I doubt that will happen, though. I'll just get less sleep.
