How to make extra money for the holidays

I would love for you to PM me this other mylot user! I don't remember a single gift before 5...thanks for the reminder! I had a feeling that everyone would send me their get rich fast solutions thanks for sharing a different idea!

Her name is on the way to your box now. I hope your mind is feeling better and you can relax a bit. As far as adult presents go - the gifts in a jar are really easy and pretty. The soup mixes are the most inexpensive (yes, cheap is another word for it, but inexpensive sounds so much better!) We all put so much value on how much we spend and then sit around comparing what we gave to what Aunt Sally gave and then feeling bad. I used to do crafts and had a kiosk at a local Antique Mall (tourist trap). The things that I made were mostly all of dried flowers, herbs, pods, seeds, and natural things. A friend of mine painted a most beautiful sign for my little corner of the world there with the name of my shoppe. It was "From The Heart". I loved what I did. That is until I had to go to the shoppe about every other weekend, replenish stock, have the owner give me pieces of paper with specific things I was to make, and deadlines to make them in. At that point it became a job; and a job is work; and that work was stressful and no longer From The Heart. It was then that I realized that I had to close up the store and only do things as I felt the urge to, and only do things for people that I wanted to do them for. When you do that, you are actually putting the love into the project. Your family knows who you are and they know what you are going through. That means that they also know your financial situation. And all of that translates into they know that the gift (or card with your handwritten sentiments) are truly from your heart. ~Donna

Donna, Thanks for the encouragement. You'll never know how much I needed the reminder that my family knows what we're going through ... much love. God Bless!
