Should you make it or buy it?

I love this post from Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy:

I don’t like to make gifts just for the sake of making them. I want them to be worth my time and trouble. But it’s hard for me to tell in advance which projects are going to be worthwhile, and which ones are going to give me headaches. Because if a handmade project is going to give me a headache, well–I’d rather just buy it.

With that in mind, I’ve created this handy flowchart that helps me decide whether a handmade project is likely to be worth it–or not.

We Paid Cash: New Bikes

Published: by Crystal Paine on November 6, 2013 | This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

A testimony from Jessica

My family and I live in a great house on the edge of town. Now that my kids are getting older, we decided that we should start biking more into town. The only problem was that no one but my husband had a bike!

We started looking on Craigslist to find a tag-a-long bike for my son (age 5) and a bike and trailer for myself and my daughters (age 3 and 1 1/2).

We were quite surprised to find a double tag-a-long that my two oldest could ride for $225. We also were able to find a good deal on a bike ($125), helmet (new from Craigslist, $25) and a trailer ($25).

All of this took some time to wait for just the right items since we live in a small town and didn’t want to add the cost of gas to our purchase.

In order to be able to afford the $400 cost of our new bikes I worked hard to sell things that I was able to clean out of our house.

It took several months and some deep closet digging, but I did it! I learned a few things along the way that made the process successful.

Facebook Sale group

I got hooked up with a local sale group on Facebook, and this is where I had the most success. Living in a small town, it was great to be able to sell things locally. I also discovered that people would be willing to buy one or two shirts from me since they didn’t have to travel far to pick them up. Selling things $1 or $2 at a time takes a while, but it still helped.

Craigslist

Craigslist worked better for larger items that didn’t have much of a market in my small town. I would usually list items first on Facebook and if they didn’t sell within a day or two put them on Craigslist.

Word of mouth

I sold a couple of larger items to friends that I knew were looking for them. I am able to sell some of the clothes my daughter outgrows to my sister.

Jessica is a stay-at-home mom of three young kids (5, 3, 1) and wife to an amazing husband!

Last call! Apply to be a part of my Book Launch Team!

Published: by Crystal Paine on November 6, 2013 | This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

In case you’ve not had a chance to sign up yet or you missed my post about this last week, I just wanted to post a quick reminder since the sign-up form for this will only be available through November 8, 2013…

I have some incredibly exciting news to share with you today! After months and months and months of effort on my part and the part of my fantastic team, my new book is done and headed to the printers.

Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion For Life will officially release on January 21, 2014. It’s packed with both practical ideas and big-picture perspective that will inspire you to live life on purpose.

I’m so very thankful and humbled to have the opportunity to share a message in it that I’m not only immensely passionate about, but that I also believe has the power to impact hundreds of thousands of women across the globe. I’ll be sharing much more about the book in the weeks to come (you won’t want to miss the HUGE giveaways and other fun things we have planned for the launch!), but for this post, I’m writing to invite you to join me in an exclusive opportunity.

Join the Say Goodbye to Survival Mode Launch Team

We are putting together a special “Say Goodbye to Survival Mode Launch Team” — made up of people who want to join with us in helping to spread the word about the book. But it’s not just about spreading the word, it’s about showing others how to thrive in life, not just survive it.

As a launch team member you will get exclusive access to read a digital copy of the book in advance, the opportunity to interact with me and other launch team members as a community via a private Facebook group, and access to several other special resources (top secret stuff that we can’t share just yet :)).

To be apart of the Launch Team, we ask that you:

A) Read the digital copy in advance
B) Agree to help us spread the word in any way you can during the timeframe requested
C) Post a review on a retailer site
D) Interact with the launch team community by sharing ideas, etc.

We’ll provide everything you need to help get the word out. We have an amazing group of folks in place who will be running the Launch Team and you are going to love working with them!

If you’re interested in being apart of this opportunity, just fill out the Launch Team Sign Up Form here by November 8, 2013.

On November 9, we will select around 1000 people from all submissions and notify them via email. (I wish we could select everyone but in order to keep things manageable and enable us to interact one-on-one, we’ve decided it’s best to stick with just 1000 people on our launch team. However, even if you’re not one of those chosen, everyone who signs up will get a sneak preview download of the book!)

I’m so very grateful for each of you and the excitement you’ve already expressed about Say Goodbye to Survival Mode. Your support means more to me than words can express.

Sign up to be considered for the Launch Team today!
