These websites can help you manage clutter while making cash, too – USATODAY.com

These websites help you manage clutter and make money, too

thredUP.com Order a free thredUP bag, fill it with outgrown kids' clothing and put it on your doorstep with outgoing mail. thredUP resells items to other moms in its online shop and pays you 20% to 40% of the resale value. Pocket the cash, or use it toward the next size up!

tinypay.me They keep selling stuff online simple. Fill out a quick form for an item you want to sell (either physical or digital goods) and you can share that page across social-media platforms such as Facebook. No account is needed; all management is done through e-mail, and payments are handled by PayPal.

Gumroad.com Create, share and sell your digital goods online — a great way to spring-clean your computer. Most use the site to sell things they've made: songs, albums, videos, photos and even T-shirts. You can sell just about anything that you can upload or link to digitally.

STORY: Experts help sort through clutter

KarmaGoat.com List an item, set a price and pick a cause you care about. KarmaGoat forwards 85% of the proceeds to the charity you select, among them the American Red Cross and United Way.

Keepio.com Aficionados, unite! Find others who are passionate about the stuff you're trying to sell and easily offload those items. For example, that vintage bike? Find the perfect audience: a bike collecting community. You also can swap stuff.

neverlikeditanyway.com A place to break up with your used belongings. Get rid of stuff you no longer need at a "breakup" price. What's unique is that members shed the stories behind each item. This site takes a cute approach to selling the things you really never liked anyway.

Yardsellr.com Just like a yard sale but all online. Use your virtual neighborhood (Facebook friends, Twitter followers) to declutter. Connect with buyers based on interests (Barbie dolls!) so you can find online neighbors who want exactly what you have.

Shopify.com Create your own online storefront and sell all the high-quality goods you have. Shopify helps professionalize the process by customizing your store design, accepting credit cards and shipping goods — all with a few clicks of the mouse.

Zaarly.com Find people in your local community to buy your stuff. The coolest part: You can set up a phone alert to notify you when something you want to sell is requested by another member. Carry on with your busy life, and watch the buyers come to you!

TaskRabbit.com Want someone to get your spring cleaning done for you? TaskRabbit.com helps you find local people and pay them to, say, clean out the garage. Yuck.

Stuck in a rut? 5 ways to propel your life forward.

Are you at a place in life where nothing appears to be moving? Worse still, does the situation appear to be getting darker with every passing moment? Or perhaps, you are at a crossroad where every possible option appears to be simply just a choice between a step towards the devil or the deep blue sea?

The great poet Robert Frost penned the beautiful poem “The Road Not Taken”. In the final few stanzas he wrote:

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Many times, all it takes is a change in mindset that will propel us to sweet success. Below are some perspectives in which a change, in any of the 5, may lead you to better outcomes.

1. COURAGE

We all recognize acts of courage when we see them. Our spirit cheers in acknowledgement. While we can recognize it, performing it may be a different matter altogether. You see, acts of courage require us to dig deep and, very often, do something which we may not be comfortable with. Acts of valor require us not only to hold on to the cup that is entrusted to us, but to also run with it until we reach the finishing line.

Many try to find courage by introspection and often deemed themselves as not valiant enough and unworthy of being a champion in life. But maybe it is because the answer is not from looking inward; but rather to look at what you have at the very present moment, and consider how you can change the situation for the better; day by day, bit by bit.

2. RESPONSIBILITY

To propel our lives forward requires us to accept a daunting truth. And that is no one is responsible for our life except us. The term “responsibility” can be broken up into 2 words “response” and “ability”. With any given situation, we all have the responsibility to “respond” with the very best “ability that we have.

In other words, in order to propel our lives forward, you have to live in the here and now. Past mistakes are regrettable but they are over! Move on! Future fears are nothing more than figments of imagination until they come to pass… which may not even happen! Just because you made a mistake in the past does not mean you will do it again. You have the ability to prepare and respond in a better manner… and therefore expect a much better outcome!

3. APPRECIATION

“What you appreciate, APPRECIATES – Anon”. Similarly, what you depreciate, DEPRECIATES. What do you hold dear? What do you constantly think about? Is it your family, or your business, or your job or other relationships? More importantly, in what manner are you thinking of such things?

4. TEACHABILITY

Sometimes, downtime may be an excellent time to reflect, re-strategize and to plan in expectation for a bigger and better harvest. In these circumstances, often the key factor in turning these downtimes into opportunities for us to emerge stronger is to have a teachable spirit.

Ask yourself these questions. Am I open to other people’s ideas? Am I able to accept my error when pointed out? Am I willing to show a temporary period of ignorance to gain a deeper understanding?

5. HOPE

Think big and reach out for your star! Draw, aim and shoot at a goal which, while it should not be impossible, should be within stretch targets. Push yourself! You will be surprised with the hidden potential you have!

Zig Ziglar said, “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”. Your attitude in any situation or problem will directly determine how well you fare in it. Hold on to that positivity and hope! At the end of the day, that may be all it takes to turn that flickering flame from afar into your flaming glory in the not so distant future!

Traditionally Modern Designs: Pencil Tip Carvings!

This is one of the most incredible art forms I have seen. I received this in one of those awesome e-mail forwards that mothers love sending daily :) After doing some research, I found that the artist's name is Dalton Ghetti. Check out his work {here}. This work is sharp! (pun totally intended) and he does this all without a magnifying glass. Born in Brazil, 49 year old Ghetti says he has been carving since he was a schoolboy - things ranging from stones, large piece of wood, soap, broom hands - until he found this niche.

Originally this dress was made with a slip underneath, and for good reason! I have decided to leave it up to you, the buyer, to do what you want with it! My first instinct says to put a light pink slip underneath although it could look great with an unexpected color underneath. Red may look fabulous!
Be creative! It is an amazing piece of vintage better left untouched by me and personalized by its new owner.You can leave it as it is, if you wish :)

Maryland Couple Makes Beautiful Objects From Recycled Circuit Board | USA | English

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:41:00 +0000

Maryland Couple Makes Beautiful Objects From Recycled Circuit Board | USA | English

June Soh | Gaithersburg, Maryland

It's said that one person's trash is another's treasure. That is certainly true for Debby and Joel Arem. Twenty years ago, the couple started creating jewelry and office products from recycled computer circuit boards. Today, they have a full line of "green" products.

There is no shortage of recycled material for Debby Arem's creations. She uses everything, from pieces of scrap metal and electronic components, to computer circuit boards and chips.

"In 1992, my husband had a company that made computers. And I saw a circuit board for the very first time in my life and I went out of my mind. I said that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen with all the intricate circuitry and the colors. And the first thing that came to my mind was you could make jewelry out of that,” Arem said.

Arem has a degree in fine arts - so that's what she did. She and her husband Joel founded a company called Three Ring Circuits and introduced their jewelry and other products at a local craft show.

“The first night we sold out of our clipboards, completely sold out. People would come by the booth and do a double take and they would say, that is a circuit board from a computer? Oh, what a clever idea,” Arem said.

Their line of products has grown. The Arems use discarded prototype circuit boards as the base for most of their products. Then they add vintage beads, small pieces of metal, and anything else they find interesting.

“If I hadn’t rescued them or if we hadn’t rescued the circuit boards from these companies, they would have ended up potentially in a landfill or had been burned,” Arem said.

Circuit boards recovered from cell phones are popular. "I come up with ideas many times but I can’t quite figure out how to engineer it. And Joel is a master at taking an idea that I come up with and figuring out how to actually put it together,” Arem said.

They say working together for 20 years has strengthened their marriage.

"You get to know a person a lot better when you spend that much time and overcoming not only the challenges of the relationship but the stress of business really puts the strain on a relationship. If you can get through it, it [marriage] gets stronger,” Joel Arem said.

“We have a lot of fun, we really do. I don’t consider this work. That's the best part of it," said Debby Arem.

These days, instead of traveling to craft fairs, the Arems sell online. That way they can spend more time in their home studio, meeting the increasing demand from around the world for their creations.
