    Question Re:MarketPlace that will be going up

    What does everyone do? who is crafty or has items they are interested in selling on the marketplace? I am just curious. I can't wait to see what you all do. Is it an actual product? A service? HMMM the possibilities are endless. LOL My brain is always going faster than I can control it!!!

    ~Don't know if I'll sell or not, but I like to redeem and recycle clothes into new reconstructed clothes or other projects. I'd like to see YankeeMom post some of her things! I never mind paying more for homemade. How about you pizzamaker?~

    Smile My talents

    Well heck, lets see, I do alot of crafts, mostly for fun, but I make jewlery, mostly with swarovski crystals. I do make cards, and scrapbook. I have done some bead weaving, You name it, I've tried it. I like rug hooking too. I bake doggie treats for my friends grooming shop (human grade) pizza (obviously) Cakes and cake decorating. You know its a matter of dable in a few master of none! lol Jk. I love making jewlery and Art. I get lots of things that flash through my mind, but if I took action on everything I thought of!!! my house would be cluttered with lots of stuff. I have even do some trash to treasure stuff. I love working with paper. I have made my own paper thats fun to mix different textures.

    Ok thats about all I can think of for now.

    i've thought about supplementing my income by selling some of the craft (crochet/knit) items i make... but never really thought they'd be worth anything...

    who knows... maybe i'll give it a try once i build up a "stock" of some things.

    I am starting an at home business for clothing repairs (hems, seams, zippers, etc) I am also going to start making cloth purses ( I have had several people ask me about solid color bags instead of prints out in the market) I am also going to be painting on glass, etc. I can also decorate cakes on a limited basis (but my hands and joints disagree with me)
    I have a large selection of rubber stamps that could be used for different crafts.
    Like pizzamaker, I have a lot of ideas but just think of the mess I could create at my home.

    I make both all natural and nearly natural lip balms. The all naturals are flavored with essential oils. The nearly naturals are flavored with flavor oils. They are made with shea butter and other groovy stuff and everyone who gets their hands on them loves them.

    Since selling is only allowed through the classified/MarketPlace, I'll have to wait to give you a peek, but I do have pictures and ingredient lists for anything that I post for sale.

    I do have a question, though. Will there be a minimum post requirement or a membership length requirement to post in the MarketPlace? If there is a minimum post requirement, I had better get busy posting! If there is a membership length requirement, I'll just have to wait, wont I? :~)

    No. There won't be a minimum post count.

    I am very anxious to see this start! I am pretty much a "dabbler" in a lot of crafts, but LOVE to own handmade items.

    I do a little bit of everything. Knit, crochet, sewing, cardmaking, scrapbooking, painting, wood working (not much since the baby's been born), photography and etc.

    I like so many different things I could never just settle on one.
