Ebay business

And the winner is...

Yes, I am indeed expecting and as further confirmation my memory has lapsed!  Sorry, I had planned to post last Friday and forgot all about it.  Charity was the big winner!!!  Now I am going to lay down and take a nap with the 2 year old.  Hopefully I will make it back online at least a few times in the next couple of months.

Creative uses for Kool-Aid Jammers

I feel like I have gotten so much done this week!  Isn't that a great feeling.  Here is my latest creation.  Kool-Aid bags and Bible covers.  My friend had shown me how to make the bags, so we went and bought a case of Kool-Aid Jammers (my kids were so excited, these were a real treat for them!).  My daughter and I were brainstorming ways to use the empty packages, and we came up with the Bible cover idea.  They are so cute and so cheap to make.  I thought it would be more difficult to sew, but it turned out to be so simple.

Website Update

I am nearing completion on my new website Ponder the Path.  I say completion, but I don't know if it will ever feel "completed" -- it's an ongoing process.  However, I do have the framework there, I just need to fill it with wonderful resources and articles.  Christi from Art Designs by Christi has finished up a wonderful image to link to my "store" (actually my son's store--he sells soap).  Here is the design:

She did such a great job! Christi was so quick about getting it done, and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her.

Articles
I love it when I recognize a name in The Old Schoolhouse magazine or in Lisa Vitello's New Harvest Homestead.  Which shows me just how well some of you ladies can express your experiences on the homestead (actually, I already knew it, I read your blogs).  Can I tap into your wonderful writing abilities and ask for article submissions?  I am looking for Christ-centered articles in the following areas:

Family (marriage, pregnancy, child training, breastfeeding, quiverfull)
Health (herbs, natural rememdy, immunizations)
Homeschool (methods, getting started)
Homestead (livestock, poultry, homemade, hand arts, beekeeping, survival)
Nutrition (whole foods, gardening/orchards, canning/preserving, water purification)
Business (home/family business)

You can email me directly at jasmine.lucero@yahoo.com.  You can also visit the website for more info.  Looking forward to hearing from you!

Blessings,
Jasmine

Need Graphic Art Help

Edited to add:  I have found a graphic artist!  In looking through her portfolio, I was very impressed.  And her rates seemed very reasonable as well.  I guess I thought that the price would be outrageous!  So thankful it was within my meager budget.  Will post my goodies when she is done.  Her name is Christi and here is the link to her site Art Designs by Christi

I am finishing up some work on my website and really need to find someone to help me with some graphic art.  I am looking for some type of design that will be placed on my homepage linking to our "store" (actually not much of a store, just a few bars of soap ).  Also, I could probably use a few graphics just to spruce things up a bit.  I am trying to keep the website as low cost as possible, so I would love to be able to barter maybe some advertising or even soap (or used curriculum or some sewing -- will try to think of anything else I have to offer!).  If you know of anyone that you can recommend, send them my way!
