I have two shops, a paper product one and a photographic print one, but I don’t spend nearly enough time working on either. We’re moving in a month, so once that’s done, I’ll be making things as often as possible and listing frequently, plus working on marketing. My print shop I’ll be adding to as frequently as possible, doing more marketing, and spending time creating new photos to add. I’ll update as things move along.

We’re moving soon, and as a packrat, I have trouble with buying stuff I don’t need then keeping things that aren’t needed/useful anymore. So as part of making our move smooth and organized, I’m going through and finding EVERYTHING I don’t want or need, and either tossing it, giving it away, or selling it. I’m hopefully going to have a garage sale in a week or two to get rid of a lot of it that way, but I’ll also sell on Kijiji. The money from it will help cover our moving costs, and go towards paying some of our debt.

So, my husband is back to work from his parental leave. We got his first full, regular pay cheque today, and it looks like as long as it stays about what it is, we’ll be able to pay off our debt! It will take time and dedication to not overspending, but I’m going to use the snowball method, and gradually build up the amount we’re paying on the credit cards by paying off the lowest-balance debt items first. I’m so excited, I don’t think I’ve felt so hopeful in a long time!
