Meandering Missive: Shameless self-promotion ;)

Shameless self-promotion ;)

I'm not usually the type to engage in "shameless self-promotion", but I figure if you can't do it in your own blog, where CAN you do it? ;) I'm excited because I now have more than two dozen items on the auction block at my favourite auction site, eBay! My eBay I.D. is "acorn58", and here's a direct link to my item list. (I meant to post this here earlier, but kept forgetting. The auctions run thru Feb. 4).

My general rule is to use eBay 2/3 of the time for SELLING and 1/3 of the time for BUYING. That way, hopefully I end up making more $$ than I spend. However, it doesn't always work that way! I remember once I went on a buying spree (I love that word) on melt-and-pour soapmaking supplies and spent way more than I thought I would (or should!) But the fragrance oils and essential oils sounded sooo delicious! And the dyes and colourants were sooo beautiful! (My fellow soapsters Shari of Las Vegas and Becky both know what I'm talking about! heehee)

Speaking of such things, if you like the merchandise of Bath & Body Works and/or The Body Shop, I hope you'll take a peek at my auctions, which run through the night of Feb. 4. I'm selling a bunch of indulgent and tempting lotions, body sprays, shower gels, bubble baths, home fragrance oils and lip glosses/balms at mega-bargain prices! (I bought them during the post-holiday mega-sale! *grin*)

Most have either been discontinued, or will only be back again during the June half-yearly sales or during the holidays. Some items are so yummy, I almost hope they don't sell, so I can keep them for myself and give some as gifts to female friends/family members whom I know will love them. But first we'll see how my current auctions go, since I could reeeealy use the profit margin! I've had good luck selling this stuff on eBay in the past, so I hope it continues. :)

Since I'm doing shameless self-promotion, I might as well go all the way and mention something else! As some of you know, I belong to the Amazon Affiliates program (now called Associates, but I like the other name better). It's very simple and totally safe. :)

Each time someone shops at Amazon.com, I earn a 4-10% commission on the sale IF the person "clicked through" using one of my customized Amazon banners located on the following page: Shari's Amazon Affiliate links You can also use the mini Amazon banner at the top right of my blog sidebar.

If you click a banner on my link page, or the banner here on my sidebar, you'll be brought to Amazon's website as usual; nothing looks different. You don't even have to buy anything; you can simply browse for fun. However, if you do buy things, then I benefit. Once I earn enough commissions, Amazon sends me a gift certificate! I earned one a long time ago, and am hoping to earn another soon. :) So if you ever use Amazon, and don't already use someone else's Affiliate link (I don't want to scam on another person), I hope you might use me. *blush*

Thanks so much! Every bit counts, especially when you're as poor as a churchmouse like I am! *squeek squeek* For what it's worth, the majority of stuff I've bought lately on Amazon hasn't even been for me, but rather for friends and relatives. I LOVE giving gifts! :)

Today I am feeling giddy!
