Ebay, Wraps, and Disappearing Time

The kids come home from school in 30 minutes, and what do I have to show for it? Where do my hours go, anyway? I always seem to have too much on my schedule.

I was planning on doing another Tell Me a Story Tuesday, but I spent all evening yesterday posting books and DVDs on eBay, and then I attended Necco's school concert this morning....and then there was the laundry and the phone calls and the photos that need to be edited from my 2 photo shoots this weekend.....And here we are.

Spending time on eBay the last 2 days has really sent me down memory lane. Back when AJ was a little thing, I was a huge eBay seller. Didn't know that about me? I sold enough during the Fall of 2006 to buy Renaissance Festival costumes AND Christmas presents.

PS--do you recognize my dress from the dance that CandyMan and I went to last month? Back then, it fit me a little better....

I sent most of my time on eBay selling baby wraps. I was the first eBay seller to sell handmade wraps (in late 2005). I'm not joking. I swear I started a trend. By the time AJ grew out of being carried in a wrap and my low-cost fabric source disappeared and I decided to stop selling wraps regularly, they were all over the place.

I really miss baby wraps. I miss having AJ so small and keeping him so close all the time. But I honestly don't miss eBay selling that much. I'd much rather spend my time taking pictures and blogging. ;) EBay took up a whole lot of time, and sometimes it was a bit of a headache. Way less interactive than a blog. Way more work. Boxes, shipping labels, answering emails, writing listings.

Have you ever sold anything on eBay? What has your experience been?
