Mother and project she made for Eva took her 4 months. Fits a king size bed

Mondays to me are catch up day… Catch up what I started over the weekend………We get to go to the post office, bank… grocery store……and maybe Wal mart… (love that place….).  Mailing one book and some author requests for bookmarks… I love to send there bookmarks with the books I sell… Makes a nice touch.so far I have Debbie Macomber   www.debbiemacomber.com  I will be going to see her in May in Tallahassee.  Can’t wait.. Gene is going to make me something to take to her.. I love giving out little gifts when I go see someone ..  I am half way through book Montana Creeds:Dylon  and the new one comes out tomorrow.  Montana Creeds: Tyler, they are by Linda Lael Miller, www.lindalealmiller.com  I should be able to start it by the end of the week.. Then you can look for them on my eCRATER store.  Everything I put in from now on will go on my eCRATER store. It has more to offer my customer as well as me.. I can sell for less as they cost me less…. Check it out… I have paypal and money orders… where on the other store I have only paypal and the books cost you more… I can move things for now from one store to another…. I do give shipping discounts on both stores… But as I said eCRATER is my store of choice and will be fading out the other one as things sell off…

 

 

 

Have a good day and check out my stores… write on my blog and have fun……………………  check out the picture of the day

Gene made today

Gene made today

Today started off differently… Had to go to doctor for a visit as he just had to refill my thyroid meds… I don’t have one had removed several years ago as it had a spot of cancer. Anyways find out tomorrow about blood work…
Sence I got home read emails and feedbacks (eBay) Had a nice one from a customer who bought “Waiting for Agnes”. I went and wrote this person a email and asked them to come on here and give a review… Hope he or she does….
Then I went on to eCRATER and put in books for Iris Johnansen, who I had started doing yesterday. Then went on to do Catherine Anderson.. And its so funny I had got a newsletter from her today.. She not only has a webpage at www.catherineanderson.com she is on myspace, twitter, and Facebook… I can’t tell you about these so if you have been to any of these places let me know.
I will be spending time on eBay this afternoon doing odds and ends putting more books in taking books off the shelf that didn’t sell in the last year or so.. Getting ready for my yard sale in three weeks… and I might even go on craigslist and look around…
Gene went and bought another tool so he can make a larger vase for my wooden roses… Its going to be out of cedar… I would love to get him wood from all over the US for his birthday.. I thought of the idea last year but did not get it done.
This afternoon while I was putting books in eBay and eCRATER and taking pictures of the one I want to put in eCRATER tomorrow. Gene was our working on a vase made of cedar to go with the wood roses he Bought me last Friday at the street Fest here in LC..

How my stores run……

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

eBay has been making a lot of changes over the past year, that have made me change some of the ways I do things… Previously, I sold Harlequin and other small books on eBay at a really low price. I can’t do that any more as they won’t let you sell under 1.00, as well as only taking credit cards and PayPal.

I have started working with eCRATER because they let me sell at the price I want,  I can put as many categories as I want, with as many books in each as I like. They also allow for money orders as well as PayPal.. They also have other ways to pay but I have not gotten into that yet.

In eBay, I try to put my better books since I have to charge more, but if you are a returning customer, I tend to send books to you that are as good or better than you are thinking… My goal is to make my customers happy…
In eCRATER, I am able to sell for less, and ship for less because I pay less to list. I try to pass that savings on to my customers. I am also able to give almost instant rebates when you buy more than one book at a time.  As soon as you pay by PayPal, I will send you a rebate right back for the extra shipping you would have otherwise paid for each single book. The books are as good as my books on eBay or might have a few more lines but nothing I would avoid putting in my living room for people to see when they come over.

eCrater woes, sight seeing in the rain

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Looks like I may be closing my eCrater store after entering over 300 items and opening a new one .  Gene has offered to help me… WE just can not get them to understand that we just want the email address to change where it is seen above the picture of books at the sight… I don’t know what else to do.. Gene has even written a email to these people… don’t know where else to look… or go… So will probley start over. ………………………….  We went sight seeing in the rain today…. went to a couple of stores and then went to lunch. Was not much fun as the weather made my legs hurt… so I did not go far… Did not make a good impression on my friend I am sure… Hopefully today will be better. Its not suppose to rain.  I bought couple of books will put on eBay.   My author has offered to let me sell for him exclusively… That is very nice… That will give me a lot of expos….I hope.Well back to bed its still early…. Pray for a better day for my friend and I…. no worries over ecrater….Thanks God for getting me though another day. I will try to be a better person.
