My Little Blog Shop

Ryan and I have been trying to pay down some debt that we have and the idea hit me that I could post some things here on my blog and sell them for less because I can skip all of the fees associated with the other sites. …you know the ones.

So, I am cleaning out my home and attempting to make back a small bit of money to put towards our debt as suggested by the awesome, Dave Ramsey! To make it more attainable and interesting, my husband and I decided to hold a friendly little competition. We are each going to try to earn half of the amount of our debt and the first one to reach the goal wins! We are both just a tad bit competitive by nature and this is just the push we need to knock out our debt. My goal is $5,000.

I’ll be adding more items as I come across them including homeschool books, DVDs, Scrapbook items, and many other things. Everything I list will be new, like new, or in great condition unless noted. And folks, I have no intention on listing anything less than great so buy with confidence. Thank you so much for stopping by to look! If you see something you want simply send me an email letting me know what you want and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice for the total. I’ll try to mail it the very next day! If you have a blog shop and would like to leave a link just scroll down to the bottom of the page and add your page to Mr. Linky

All My Own Work – Adventures in Art *New $5.25 postage paid
by Carole Armstrong, Anthea Peppin

About this title: This engaging “draw from your imagination” book holds many adventures for young readers: a dragon to fight, a mystery ship sailing to shore, a splendid archway to step through. The starting point for each adventure is an intriguing image from a painting in London’s National Gallery. With the help of paints, crayons, pencils, felt-tip pens, scraps of paper, and, above all, imagination, budding artists fill in the scene. Reproductions of all the original paintings appear at the back of the book. From an adult’s perspective, the finished projects can offer valuable insight into a child’s thoughts, desires, and anxieties.

Classically Cursive *New $8 postage paid
The Classically Cursive series teaches a handwriting style quite similar to that of D’Nealian. It does not teach manuscript, except in a very cursory fashion in Book I, and focuses entirely on cursive. The four books offer a fair amount of content, working with letter shapes, connections, and then words, before it goes on to some Bible verses (NKJV), the ten commandments, catechism questions and attributes of God. Book I begins with nine pages of manuscript review, quickly working through the entire alphabet. From there, it offers a series one page drills for each letter in cursive, first 26 pages of lowercase (tracing a letter, writing the letter without tracing, practicing connections by writing the letter twice, and then using the letters in other words), and then by going over the alphabet again in uppercase (where the letters are first traced, written without tracing, and then used at the beginnings of names). After this practice, students practice writing the names of the books of the Bible, and learn a few key facts about the Bible, as well as the Lord’s Prayer. The book concludes with several pages of instruction on forming letters, both in manuscript and cursive.
