SULUSTAR CREATIONS

I have not posted very often of late. I can tell you why. In January, I revived my business name, and started selling self made Checkbook Cover Inserts in Vinyl checkbook covers on eBay. This venture has turned out to be fairly popular. I have sold well over 100 checkbook covers and related items since then.

As I make them myself and offer personalization for a fee, this endeavor has been taking up a lot of time. In fact I have been spending enough time making checkbook inserts that it feels like a job, but not a job that I could make a real living at.

Well as long as it is fun I will keep doing it, and at least I am making enough money to pay for most things I would want to buy on eBay myself, like Channel parfume, a number keypad for my laptop, a new leather cap for my husband, a new bedskirt, etc.

I have decided that I will try to limit my work on my eBay projects to every other day, just so I can get something else done in my life, like housework, bill paying, spending time with my husband, watering my Petunias, and especially enjoying my back porch, pond and family.

VICKY PAYS REVISITED

Vicky our college aged daughter is away from home attending school at Grand Valley State University, my alma maitre. She saw this posting and complained. She did not think I should put her name in this article, or "write about something I know nothing about". So, I have replaced her beautiful High School graduation picture with one less identifiable, though more contemporary.

Vicky is shown standing next to a large pendulum on the grounds of GVSU, wearing the required student backpack and uniform.

But, unlike her contention that I did, nowhere in this posting have I found that I included her full name. I only ever identify her by her first name.

Oh, she may think that the cancelled check likeness, that I based this humorous fictional posting on shows her last name, but it did not. Lke the name, address, routing and account numbers of the bank, I also blurred Vicky's last name, except for the first letter. Perhaps I should have blurred that as well. ------So, now, I have.

I am sorry if Vicky was offended in any way, but she should not be. I am sure there is a very logical explanation for her curious memo remark on a $4.00 check, but when I saw the check, it did strick me as humorous. So I made up what I thought a humorous story to go along with the check. Here is that story:

--------------VICKY PAYS---------------

As a favor, because I know she pays little attention anyway, I have been keeping track of Vicky's savings and checking accounts. Besides at least 90% of the money contained within these accounts comes from, you know who--we, her parents.

While balancing her books on-line I came upon an interesting and puzzling cancelled check which I would have thought a newly fianced co-ed would not have written to man who is not her intended . Here it is :

I cannot decide whether I am more intrigued by her comment in the memo line "A great night!" or that this "great night" only cost $4.00. Ah, the thrifty Dutch. Willing to work for what a thing is really worth, and not for highly inflated values.

Of course if you all knew my seriously religious & fairly innocent, for her age, daughter, you would no more suspect any hanky-panky with Benjamin then the man in the moon. It must have been an innocent but not well thought out comment, written in the excitement of the moment, probably about some concert or sporting event to which Mr. Bytsma escorted her. "Dutch Treat" of course. Go Lakers!! I love you Vicky!
