My grandbabies and where they fit in my life and business ventures

 

This is a story about my journey through life and where I am now. My grandbabies are a very important part of my life and business!

Hi My name is Diane and this is how I ended up selling on ebay and Avon 

This is a brief story of my life and where it has taken me so far. First let me tell you I am a small town girl originally from Central New York and now living in Florida. I was raised by 2 very loving grandparents who taught me that you get nothing in life unless you work for it.

At the age of 21 I knew all of the answers and got married ,short version ended up divorced raising my daughter on my own. I worked as a waitress for over 20 yrs sometimes 2 or 3 jobs at a time to provide for my child!We had a pretty good life and a whole lot of love!

At age 21 she also had all lifes answers and got married and divorced! She has blessed my life with 4 beautiful grandchildren and we all live together!

She currently works a full time job outside the home to provide for her children as did I until I broke my ankle this year. Not to many jobs for a waitress with a bad ankle.

I started my journey in ebay as a way to buy clothing, gifts, and books for the children. As that journey continued I decided since I had found so many great deals for my family maybe I would be able to start selling affordable clothing for children and adults to supplement our incomes.To think this all started as a hobby!

I started searching on ebay as well as other places to find great deals that I could afford to offer at a good price. You see I know how hard it can be to provide for your family in todays world!

As I became more involved with selling on ebay I expanded my inventory to include books , childrens books, home decor, yard decor,mens,womens,childrens clothing as well as holiday and seasonal items.I offer combined shipping on all of my items to save people money on multiple purchases.

To further my business ventures I also sell Avon products. This is a great oppurtunity for me as it allows me to buy products for my own family at a discount. I don't sell anything I don't totally have faith in myself. Their skin care lines are excellent products as well as affordable!You can visit my avon website at www.youravon.com/dolivadoti

I am currently in the process of expanding the products I sell on ebay to hopefully ensure a secure future for my family.

I have a lot of faith in God as he leads me through life and have also instilled that faith in my grandchildren!

Thus is my journey so far and I will update as things change!

I added alot of great new items to my store today and will be adding a lot more soon. I added some more childrens books ,a couple of Nascar items and some really nice birdhouses and other yard decor. I also am including a free gift with every purchase.

I am a firm believer in introducing your children into the world of reading at a very early age. Reading helps spark your childs imagination and opens up a whole new world for them to explore. It also is a great way to get that cuddle time in with your child as you spend quality time together reading with them.Why not sit with your child and read a book today!

I am celebrating my birthday in February 

To celebrate my upcoming birthday I am having a sale in my ebay store for the entire month of February. Come celebrate with me!

February has turned out to be a very eventful month on ebay.First there is the introduction of Ebays new changes. A lot of sellers are very angry over these changes.They are going on strike from February 18th - 25th. Although I do not agree with alot of the changes I will not be participating in the strike as Ebay is my only income at this point in time. These strong feelings that people have are causing a lot of dissention between sellers and friends which makes me very sad. The new feedback system Ebay is going to be implementing should prove to be very interesting with sellers not being able to leave anything but positive feedback for buyers.It would seem to me Ebay could come up with a better solution this new system could damage a lot of very good sellers. Alot of sellers are leaving Ebay because of these changes. I myself will be looking for ways to diversify.

My birthday was wonderful! Just want to give an update on some changes I have made in my store.
I am going to be running several Charity Auctions and have created a section in my store to make them easier to find.

Also check out my new Disney and Nick Jr. items I have recently added I will soon be adding more.I will be adding alot of other great childrens character items as I come across good deals so that I can pass the savings on to you.

I have stopped being an active Avon Rep and will soon be listing my Avon items on ebay some will be in gift baskets , some auctions & some in store inventory. I assure you when These items are listed they are all brand new product.
