Dreams + Work = Success
So I mentioned in a previous post that I had some things in the works to help us raise/save money for IVF. Here are a few we have so far:more
We’re going to look into applying for some grants. It’s a long shot, but might as well try.
We’re also having a yard sale later this month. We have a ton of stuff that we don’t need anymore since we moved into our new house. We may not get much, but again… it’s worth a shot!
AND I started an Etsy shop. It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, but now that there’s a REAL need for some extra income, I have the motivation I've been needing to actually make it happen.
I’m selling digital prints for $5 each. For those who aren’t familiar with digital prints, here’s the deal: Once the customer’s payment clears, they are prompted to download the digital files. Then the customer can have them printed wherever/however they’d like (at home, photo printing service, local print shop, etc.). Each purchase includes 4 files to allow for flexibility when printing.
Here’s the shop if you want to check it out: Magpie Print Co.
There are only a few listings so far, so be sure to “favorite” the shop and check back often to see what’s new. Please let me know if you have an idea for a print. It would be fun to design something just for you! And if you like what you see, please share with your family and friends. Every little bit helps!
I have a few other ideas for raising money, but this Etsy shop is likely to have the most immediate impact. And as an added bonus… it’s keeping me busy doing something I actually enjoy! Best of all - it’s keeping me from getting sucked into that dark, twisty vortex of negativity. That shit is no fun!!
