    Default Should We?

    I paint and draw. I used to get commissions several times a year but just let it all go when my mental health went downhill. Now DH and I are talking about seriously starting again. He makes survival bracelets and knives. I paint watercolor cards and do portraits. We are seriously thinking about trying to start to sell our items as a second income kind of deal. I was just wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing and how you first started. We don't have a CC that we can do anything like etsy. So what would be some other ideas?

    Do you have a debit card you use for a paypal account, for etsy? I 'etsy' selling mostly 'yard sale find' jewelry i buy for .25-$1, resell for $4-12+. Can't retire off it, but helps when I'm a SAHM. I don't think you need a CC to use etsy, but a debit card, yes.

    Also, my husband is a knife freak- if your hubby has a website or has any knives he made up for sale, send me a message- i'm sure my hubby would love a peak!
