Does anyone have any good ideas
on an inexpensive craft project that I could possibly make a little side money on? I did so well with the lighted gift boxes, I need to get started on something else!

Whenever I visit craft shows, the first thing I look for are cute t-shirts. Or something with wild life on it for my DH. You might think about giving this a try.
Look for "wholesale" clothing sellers on the net and also look for wholesale decal sellers.

Robin,
I thought it was a cute idea for fq's, but I was thinking you could buy those bulk washcloths from Walmart and make this up with washcloths for bathrooms and sell them. The washcloths are so inexpensive and come in a variety of colors too, so you could even customize the colors they might want.
Easy too! I think it would look better in a little claypot. Maybe a nice ribbon attached too.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

Robin, I had a little add on idea. lol
I was thinking if you used a clay pot and bought a saucer that was a bit larger, you could then add some small decorative soaps along the base in the saucer too or just have the saucer on the side with soaps.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

I put it in the bathroom, but so far Gabe hasn't mentioned it. I thought he'd comment something. lol

Robin on that theme, I was at my sister's and I was knitting about 2 of those dishcloths a day, and we put them in a basket with some french soap from another gift and displayed them on the counter.
I knitted them in a blue and green mix cotton yarn. Against the light cream of the basket and the ivory of the soap it looked really good together.
You wouldn't have to knit, just do the washcloths in a basket with soaps and maybe an envelope of scented bath salts (epsom salts with a few drops of lavendar oil mixed in)
Little wicker baskets are cheap and plentiful at our salvation army store.
A little spray paint to brighten them up????

I just saw Michael's ad starting Sunday. They have clay pots 3 for $1. This will be perfect the saucers are also on sale for the same price. Gonna go out to the garage and dig out the paints and be ready for tomorrow.
