Playroom Project Almost Complete


We are all starting to get better from being sick. That means we can go out to the grocery store and buy diapers and also run errands. Since I won't be posting the final picture (probably) I am just going to get this up as proof that I actually did make the changes in the playroom as I wanted. In order to fund the entire playroom transition I posted a few items on Craigslist to sell. I need $200. I've made $50 so far by selling Cadie's old car seat. We had planned to use it as a second one but let's get honest, she's too big for it. I posted an ad and realized that I needed to check to be sure that it hadn't been recalled or anything. I had to edit the ad 3 times because I'm not the marketing genius that I thought I was. I had to completely clean the car seat wash the covers, take it apart and try to find the manual. This took a couple of hours. I finally found someone who wanted to buy it and she called me to tell me she was coming so I rushed home from Target and waited for 2 hours. She never came. I gave it to the next woman in line. I have never spent so much time haggling with buyers. Maybe it's a Portland thing.
Because I currently don't have income I am drawing on this article for inspiration. http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/money/making-extra-money-without-getting-a-second-job-350892/
