A Roo Jacket, Addoway, My Bliss Project, eBay and clean stove grates
Some highlights of my week............
I sold a Roo blanket jacket to a fellow/gal seller/friend on Addoway.
I listed 76 items free on eBay and sold a bunch of things that I have had a long time and marked down.
Got some of my creations for my BIG Bliss project http://www.addoway.com/twysp2/blog/b/Bliss-Christmas-Project that was cluttering up my home to their destination in Long Beach...filled my Rav 4 to the brim..
My daughter drove...it is over 1 1/2 hrs away IF traffic is perfect.
I have many more trips to make before 11/16..the completion date. Thank you Carla.
I am busy creating new clutter now....for my next trip.

Bliss Christmas ProjectSeptember 14th 2011
The blog I wrote about my BIG project Using_Time_Wisely....... brought questions so I thought I would share my progress even though it has nothing to do with sales nor Addoway..EXCEPT... it is keeping me very busy until the sales roll in..and that is a good thing. Click to see Bliss525
The wreath is for the bar and has many wine corks amoungst other stuff. The tree in bar will have wine cork garlands. All artwork will be wrapped in gold paper like gifts with large bows and beads and embellishments. This project is very time intensive not to mention the space it takes up in my kitchen and living room...it is a blessing to me to be able to do this. Normally I do not share but I am trying to be transparent. lol Below is the review I wrote which tells more if you care to read it. ...

Using Time WiselyAugust 20th 2011
 I am on Countdown
“It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” –
Henry David Thoreau
Along with selling on the net, two months ago I agreed to take on a very large holiday design/decorating project that must be completed by Nov. 16 for installation. It will be a Christmas Spectacular with 40,000 lights and 7 decorated trees and all the trimmings! This is very exciting for me and I am sure I can pull this off if I plan effectively.
I am on countdown...planning, ordering, accessing time, preparing and mapping this out for the follow through. I must budget my time, think of priorities, and be a time manager so as not to be stressed. ... Read More
Pushing Boundries One Week at a TimeAugust 14th 2011
Feeling kinda brave this week as I listened hard and changed my icon for my storefront. Did you notice?
This was due to Addoway Fred's comment on my last blog Building Trust with Credibility. His comment "You just took the credibility and trust factor to the next level for your shoppers that come and visit your page. I would even go as far as making that your storefront icon too. Trust me, you will not be sorry."
I do not think this message was only for me. He said, "trust me," I have a sneaking suspicion he is right...AND....I swore I would never do this, but I did....and you can too! lol

 Just thinking about what I have been thinking about since my last blog Uniqely Me.Wondering what I should write about this week.
I have enjoyed reading the various blogs and the inspiration, knowledge, ideas or fun I get from them. The variety and style is vast. Mine will always be about me, my thoughts and my life because I know more about that subject than anything else.
Last week when I finished writing my blog, I got caught up on my credibility... not being credible. Not because of what I wrote, but, because of my avatar. The "old lady with a dog" did not feel befitting. I asked myself...is this blog capable of being believed and real with the doggie picture AND me always talking about age? Nope!

Uniquely Me Marching to the Beat of a Different DrummerAugust 2nd 2011
Uniquely Me....Marching to the Beat of a Different Drummer
My life has taken me on very fascinating study. I probably have not shared this openly with anyone in the last 25 years. My "old" friends all know this stuff about me. Anyway, this blog is about me and the way I relate to the world. If you get any insights or if it helps you better understand just one child, I will be delighted. I tell you this only to establish credibility. We do not all fit into the same box,.... or respond and interact with each other in the same way.
Over 35 years ago I started pondering my life. What makes me tick, how and why I am the way I am. Susan Cain, who I recently discovered, has on her blog her 16 Beliefs ..this one is #14. ... Read More Community UnityJuly 23rd 2011
This is a continuation of last weeks blog on Community the Bitter and the Sweet that was kind of a tongue in cheek slant on seniors living in my over 55 year old community. I focused on the squeaky people who flavor the pot....not the majority. Doesn't it seem like that is always the case? The ones that flavor and stir the pot gets all of the attention? Even though the word c-o-m-m-u-n-i-t-y has unity in it...it is not always unified.
Much could be said about the majority of the great people in my community who give tirelessly through volunteerism to communities outside of where we live. Kudo's to the board members who have to keep everything running and try to appease everyone. There are circles within circles when we talk about communities....it's all relative. "Everything is relative"

Yikes!
.....I had a light bulb moment the other day when I made a connection with the sameness of where I live and that of selling on the internet. I want to share that with you.
Last week I found myself delighted discovering there are fellow sellers here on Addoway with me who are also chapter 7 of their lives. We each age differently but we have the commonality of selling on the internet as well as being on the planet for a long time. We all interact with all age groups no matter what our age.
My two prior blogs were about Fuddy Duddies and Is Age a Blessing or a Curse. OK, I know, I am in a niche interest bracket for reading about old age and now I throw in condo living and internet sellers? What am I thinking? Stick with me and let me tell you what dawned on me. Is Age A Blessing or a CurseJuly 12th 2011
Is Age....A Blessing or a Curse ?
Lately, and never as prominent as before....age, and keeping up with the times gives me feed for writing this blog and many more. Last week I wrote about Fuddy Duddys and the fear of being one myself. I confess, I do not think I am there yet...but the possibility that I might become one makes me unsettled.
