Good morning ;) We will start out with an easy dinner I know it's early to think of it but, if you make this you won't have to worry about a thing except boiling water 10 minutes before you want to serve it ;) and, it will taste like a gourmet meal

Pork Ribs in the crock pot
Ingredients:
Pork Ribs
1/2 onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 pkg of instant pork gravy (envelope)
instant rice


Open ribs rinse well with cold water, place in crock pot, dice onion/garlic lay on top now pour powdered gravy on top and add seasonings I use garlic and Lawry's season salt....put the lid on and turn it on low....they will be sooooo tender and juicy...it will make a great au jus/gravy to serve over the rice....

boil water add rice cover let stand for 5 minutes and your meal is done ...I will start adding pictures of these quick easy meals so you can see just how good it looks before you try it....

Now for an update on our business:

We are now listing on Bonanza, Craigslist, Ebay, Etsy , Facebook  & Yardsellr....I will let you know that sales were slower at Christmas time than we thought this year....but, overall we did well last year. Bonanza , Etsy & Yardsellr have produced minimal sales and I will tell you their have been little to no problems with selling with them. Craigslist has produced quite a few sales however, you get a lot of junk email from there...people just forwarding the post back to you (I assume to try to get your email address), people asking for your full address so they can send a check and a courier to pick up and then, last but not least people sending emails with images of young scantily clad girls that just think we are interesting and want to "get to know us" trying to get us to sign up for some sight "just like facebook" that's free to JOIN.....lol. We do not answer any of these!!!!! We have gotten quite a few sales from ebay ...they allow you to list 50 free per month and seems they give us some sort of free listings every month or so...Facebook has netted us a lot of sales and in turn we have met a lot of great people...new friends as well as photographers which has helped us immensely when the pictures are brought to life they seem to really sell a lot faster ...Let me ask you just how anyone can find you interesting and want to neet you because you create? Lol ....I could go on and on but, this is just to be an over view of the sights we use in case anybody is planning to list items for sale this might help you know what to expect. And, well just one more thing people are people...it takes all kinds to make this world go round....we have had a few that just complained I think just to be complaining as we put our heart into everything we make and would never sell anything we wouldn't buy ;) we have even had several people telling us that we are selling ourselves short....may be but we do not think we will get rich....my sister started this so we could do the crafts and make a little extra money....the reward has exceeded our expectations....the people we have met are some of the best people I have ever met, the monetary gain is nothing to complain about....but the greatest reward of all is the bond my sister and I have developed...we are in constant contact....updates on the business have allowed us to know what is going on with each others families on a daily basis. When we first started all I knew about a computer is how to turn it on and play free cell.....my sister has taught me to upload pics, post items for sale and now, well just yesterday I became the teacher....I have done the listings etc for so long as she works full time as a Teacher she had to ask me how ;)...we now have 600+ likes on facebook and some of the people say they only buy from us....some of the projects are a challenge...so I am back to asking Tammy....which makes us closer and closer..... Sooooo the rewards of starting this business other than monetarily are priceless....that's all for today....Have a GREAT  day and God bless you all
