I have been crafting for many years. Some say I am quite good as I design as well. I have been told that I should start going to craft shows/fairs. My question is, how successful have they been for those that have participated in...

wilsongoddard I think that it sort of depends on the area as to what is likely to sell. Also, pricing makes a difference. If you have at least some lower priced items, you are likely to pick up sales from some people who are on the fence about splurging on an item. It's...

One of the easiest ways for me to save is using coupons that make the product free. Each month I receive a coupon for a free sandwich, which is perfect when I'm doing a big shopping trip. I'll use my free coupon to eat and then do...

peavey Yes, and I love to eat it, too. It doesn't even have to be anything special, just plain old homemade bread and I'll eat it every chance I get! Your oatmeal muffins sounds an awful lot like the ones I make, but I make mine with pumpkin in it. I'm glad it's too...

As with most people these day, money is tight. My children have birthdays coming up (ages 15, 17 6) and I have no idea what to get them or how much to spend. I don't have mega bucks to spend on each child, especially with the...

wilsongoddard Gifts do not need to be expensive or new (vintage is cool ), and there is no reason why you couldn't do handmade gifts. Or you could choose an experience over things--a trip to a children's museum (for the youngest), going to a fun...

coffeebreak And as fast as things go "out of style"...it's even a gamble as to if they will want the item in a few months! I would go with what author of this discussion says for the 4 gifts. I agree with that. I always got my kids practical things and they like them as...

Jenny1015 We could not expect to be having tons of money for Christmas shopping. And even if we want to give the best and most expensive gift for our kids, hat is simply not possible every time. I try to give them something that I know that they will surely make use of....

I just read from a blog saying rolling the yarn into a ball is good, it makes the yarn smoother to roll out when you are knitting, as it's "hand-roll", rather than "machine roll". I gave it a try last night. At first, I was...
