Alrighty then. I'm proud to announce that I am now a business woman. The name of my company is "Trudie's Treasures." I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of everyone making a gazillion bucks on me. My goal is to find name brand and/or quality merchandise, and offer it at the lowest possible price that I can. Yes, I need the income - but anytime I get involved with any type of selling, I have to believe in the company and the product.
Two of my kids don't think that I can make it work. What I can't make work is their father - which is a whole other blog. I have to believe in myself and get moving with this. Please visit my store, and let me know what you think - CONstructive criticism is always welcomed. I will also be coming to you from an eBay site near you!! Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have some items on the auction. Please say a prayer, or cross your fingers for me, whichever the case may be (MelodYann)!!
I'd also like to mention another talented blogger, Helen (who just happens to be Janet's sister and grew up in NJ). I read her blog "Just Playin'" and feel like I'm "back in the day." Her posts are short, but very enjoyable. Helen also writes poetry and some really good stuff aka "heavy, heavy" on her other blog "Box of Rain."
I'm so blessed to have met these bloggers because they actually read my posts and have extended a hand of friendship to me. My own fam damily doesn't read my blogs! It means a lot to me that I am read, and even if just once I caused a smile then it's all worth while. Thanks!
Use the word "guest" to login to the URL I've left. Please navigate around and let me know what you think. sign up as a client so you can go to the partner stores as well. I won't send you junk mail!! :) I can show you how to have a store the same way I do if it's something you're interested in.
You're "Lisa" blog is very touching. I'm an avid reader from this day forward.
God Bless.

Trudes, may I borrow "fam damily"? It's so non-cussy-ish.
I love your writing Trudie. I love the Lisa blog, and I love this one. I treasure your friendship.

Just wanted to wish you luck - it's great that you are trying this new idea. Stick with it, and mail me if I can help with advice etc. And as for what the kids say - God knows, they'll probably be ignoring your advice in the future, why not get a head start?

Good luck with the new store.

Good Luck Trudie. As I tell my kids, "You only fail when you quit."

Hi Trudy,me agian,just stopped in to :"shop"needed info on Princeton Hotel.
Shirley,from Babbling Bloggery and I have exchanged links,and well you need not return the favour,would you like a link at http"//mygoogleads.blogspot.com/ I am putting people who have google ads on it.
I have recently also installed bidvertiser ads on my sites( I have 5 main domains)giving people another choice.It has resulted in google giving me better ads as well,so now a person can "shop"two links a visit.

Trudie ...thanks a ton for stopping by and commenting! Best of luck to you with your Ebay business. Should be fun.
I got such a kick out of your "fam damily" because my mom used to say that all the time!
