Fundraiser

[morganskye]

Ok, I'm a sucker for pretty girls in fuku, so I'm going to try and attend Jacon this year. I've never been and I'm kinda keen on spending a weekend at a resort. They have 4 pools!!

Anyway, I promised myself that I wouldn't go unless I could raise cash for it. My goal is $500, which would cover gas, room, food, and reg. I'm going to attempt to avoid the dealers room. ^_^ Anyway, I need your help!

Have I ever made something that you're interested in? Soap? Felt pillows? Cross-stitch? Hair falls?
Do you have a project that needs to be made but you don't want to do it yourself?
Do you have an idea for something I could make a sell?
Please tell me!

I really don't want to fall back into the credit card trap, nor do I want to cut back on the overpaying I've been able to do with my current bills. I really like the thought of paying my car off 8 months early. I'm open to suggestions/commissions/ideas. Thanks everyone!!

Hmmm... well, it is warming up into Garage Sale Season, if you have a lamp bonanza any spare junk laying around.
See if you can sell platelets? I can't here in Georgia, but maybe you can in SC? ((They don't give money for platelets here because (I swear to god I'm quoting this) offering payment "attracts the wrong kind of person." OR MAYBE IT ATTRACTS POOR HEALTHY COLLEGE KIDS WHO JUST WANT A LITTLE BOOK MONEY INSTEAD OF AN UGLY FUCKING T-SHIRT. AND MAYBE I'D DONATE BLOOD MORE IF YOU HAD BETTER COOKIES. AT LEAST GET SOME WITH FROSTING, SRSLY. AND MAYBE DON'T BE SO STINGY ON THE JUICE- MAYBE I WANT MORE THAN A TEENY LITTLE DIXIE CUP FULL.))

On a side note- if I were a dude, I would totally donate sperm. All the time. In fact, it would be my hobby. Hellzzz yeah.

Hm... I'm considering doing Raven for D*C if I can get my act/funds together in time. Give me a price for your assistance in the creation of a hooded cloak:)

You could try to open an etsy store and make/sell a bunch of different things. I, personally, just bought two pairs of earrings from an etsy store. In the past, I've bought a bracelet and a purse too. So try to make as many things as you can and toss them up there. See if anyone buys ^_^

You realize that if you come to a Florida con, I will be forced to come visit you. =D
