Idea’s pls

After looking at Cas’s jewellery thread, I got to thinking. I need something like this that I can sell to raise money for kids with Ds in the Orphanage.
But I’m not likely to make jewellery lol it’s so not my thing.
Any idea’s anyone on something I could do long term to raise ongoing money. And please dont tell me to iron clothes or house clean and I cant keep up with my own.


Actually it’s 10pm we have a Early intervention teacher coming sometime in the morning…I cant find the scrap paper I wrote on with the time and I’m guessing it’s Monday not Tuesday, but really I wont know until she doesn’t’ show Monday. See I’m so organised.

What about selling some of your photography as artworks?

I dont have any landscapes or anything other than family pics.
I’d love to do what you do and take photo’s for people but I know I only mange one or sometimes two good shots, when I take pics and I’m no good a group photo’s that is a whole other thing.
I thought about doing a course, but really I wouldn’t’ manage it, I have to learn one of one and do understand the lingo… f-stops….I read it and read it and still I don’t understand it. Sometimes I have a moment where I get it and think yeah I got it, lol then it goes. It’s just too hard my brain. Just works differently and I still haven’t figured out how that is hahaha
I thought about photo editing for people, but that takes up so much time. Hmmm more thoughts please.

If you like, next time you are in brissy, I could do some stuff with you. I know what you mean about getting the f-stop thing into your brain! I did the same, read it and read it and read it! It took me 5 minutes to get it on the first day of my course!

As for the photo editing, it does take a lot of time, but you can also charge quite a bit for it. I do digital scrapbook layouts for people, which, you can make templates then just use the same ones over and over. Just make sure you aren't infringing on anyones copyright if you use anything you get off the net. (you can buy digital scrapbook elements that have commercial licenses, and you may be able to use some of the freebies out there on the basis that you are selling them for charity - just ask first. Check out www.rakscraps.com for some great ones, include ready made page templates.)
