    Time to kick it up a notch!

    So guys and girls,



    I am totally addicted. I just wish I had more time to go out and scrap but alas, I have my '9-5' to tend to. Ever go scrapping in a shirt and tie after work? Must be a funny sight!

    But anyways, I need a truck and some tools. I'm scrapping with my Chevy HHR right now and it just won't cut the mustard. I've had to pass up quite a few good hauls from Craigslist because I just can't fit those big items in the back. So today I started up a GoFundMe to get some help from family and friends. The response has been overwhelmingly positive! Already raised $50 to go towards the truck and...well...that's really exciting!!!

    Just thought I'd share my good vibes and excitement with all of you . Adding in the link so you guys can see what a GoFundMe page looks like if you're unfamiliar with a crowdsourcing project.

    P.S. I got the family hooked too! My girlfriend and her daughter grabbed some scrap on the way home from soccer practice last night. So awesome!

    That's being creative for sure and good luck.

    Personally I would opt for the fund your own business plan. I've started several businesses with nothing and grew as the money came in.
