My New Ventures

Since I am staying home now I have SO much more time to do things. NOPE! That's a big lie. I have a highly active 2 year old, remember?! However, I do have a little more time than before and have taken up new hobbies.  Some of you may remember my FB post stating that I needed a hobby that pays.  My only problem was/is I quit the only thing I was good at and passionate about as well.   Teaching!  But anything involved with that would require a babysitter for NJ which negates my money.  So my friend reminded me about a website called TeachersPayTeachers.  This site allows teachers to sell their created resources for other teachers at a low price!  So all these ideas and activities I made over the years (or wish I had the time to make so I never did) I can recreate and sell!  Genius.  Although right now it has only paid me $7! Hopefully, that number will have at least 1 zero behind it eventually. 

It took me awhile to read all about it and figure things out, but I have a good handle on it now and have about 7 products posted. I am very proud of them and think they are very helpful to teachers in the Pre-K-2nd grades.  I'm having to be selective in what graphics I use because I am trying not to purchase any until I make more. It's been tough.  If you are a teacher, or know teachers please share this link with them and have them BECOME A FOLLOWER. Becoming a follower means you will receive an email each time I post a new product! And it helps get my name out there.  I'm not looking for this to be a part time job, but I would like to make enough for some date night money that includes paying a babysitter!  That's not too much to ask is it? I mean even if that were once a month I need to make at least $50 or more!

My second new venture I have discussed before but I'm making progress! Sewing. Mom came and helped me use a pattern (never done that before and not sure I can do it correctly yet by myself) to make NJ a pillowcase dress. It turned out pretty cute though. I just need to add some material to the bottom to finish it out.  A sense of accomplishment if nothing else! Next week I have booked some time with my friend, Kayla to refine my skills=)

This venture is just for fun, not to make money.
