Snow days may cause shipping delays....

My first Ebay sale!

MY EBAY STORE

"CRAFTYPETSTUFF-and-more" pretty much says it all about me!   I make fun things for people who love their animals! I've been busy doing this for about 30 years now, and feel very blessed that I've been able to build up a lifetime career doing what I enjoy most!  I love working at home, especially here in Oregon!   Things Iare always changing, which reminds me that during winter months, we do have some snow days which may affect my shipping schedule (which normally is every Friday)

I've been selling on Ebay for almost 8 yrs now and my inventory seems to change frequently too, but my love for art and crafts will always be evident!  My Grandson got me interested in Thomas the train, so I've been carrying the TAKE ALONG THOMAS sets for a few years now.  I have also expended my store categories to include other toys, BREYER MODELS, books, puzzles, household stuff, music CDs, DVDs, and who knows?  Maybe someday kitchen sinks! I like to think of online selling as a pack rat's dream come true!  For artists, Ebay offers us a terrific way to market our creations to the world

've had a passion most of my life for dog training, art, writing, and working to help animals in whatever ways I can.   Most all my pets have come from rescue groups or shelters, or just turned up at my door.  Someday I would love to earn enough money to put in a real kennel here and fix my property up to officially help other animals get a second chance in life. 

My primary craft product is still what I first began selling on Ebay several years ago--my humorous dog signs.  Although the costs of making and selling these signs has gone up dramatiically over the past several years, ( I WON'T EVEN MENTION THE STEADY INCREASE OF EBAY SELLING FEES......)  I have continued to survive, think positive, and work at stratigies that will keep my weekly auction price as low and affordable as I can.   I recently received notice that I had reached the halfway mark of 7500 unique positive feedbacks (almost 10,000) total feedbacks over the years!  That's a lot of HAPPY REPEAT customers!  Now all I need are another 7500 and I'll have a new yellow shooting star!  Thanks to all who have helped make this possible!

People always say you never forget your first time, and I think Ebay sellers are not any different. The second photo I am showing here is the very first dog sign I was brave enough to put up for sale many years ago.  I even remember the first feedback that was left from ????? somebody who said I was going to do very well out here.  Sometimes many of us find ourselves at a place in our life when we need a change and a new direction.  Ebay has given many of us that rope to hang onto and a way to launch ourselves up to new heights!  

 Check my weekly auctions, or BUY INSTANTLY from my Ebay Store.   You will find unique HANDCRAFTED DOG SIGNS, along with ferrets, goats, turtles, and other animals.  I've grown and branched out quite a lot from that first year!  I ALSO SELL WHOLESALE TO  STORES, CLUBS, RESCUE GROUPS, ETC.  I hope you will enjoy browsing through my store and finding the perfect inexpensive gift for yourself or all the other pet owners you know!.
