I know it's been awhile since I posted anything on my blog and maybe what I am about to say will explain at least some of it.
Last year I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It was BAD, I mean really bad. I had a blood sugar level of 280 while fasting. I have spent the last year adjusting medication
going to the Doctor, adjusting medication, feeling sick, going to the Doctor etc etc. I have spent the last year in this cycle. I will get my glucose under control and then I will
get sick, knocking it all out of wack again with no real viable reason, just because.
Then, summer hits. Summer in my house is hard. I realize it's hard for everyone now days but summers are the worst. I moved to NY because the economy tanked and I was losing my home. I moved in with
my sister and I helped take care of her son so that she could go to college and get a degree to make their lives better. You would think that once he hit school age my being at the house all the time would
change but with her going to school someone has to be here to put him on the bus and get him off, when he's sick or the inevitable snow day. That being said, I don't have a job, my job is working with
digital content ei. clip art, scrap kits, 3D poser/daz products. In the summer my sister doesn't work because she has a job at the college which does not require her for the summers. This seems like a great thing
but tell a potential employer in an economic destitute city (unemployement here is nearly 9%) that you only plan to work 2 and a half months. A summer job isn't going to happen.
All that being said, this summer has been worse than in the past. I've had to forego meds for food. I've had to ditch my low carb, diabetic diet so we can eat pasta because it's cheap. While I do currently have internet
this is due to the fact that my sister needs it for college and it's not a luxury so much as a necessity for her to complete her education. That being said, it also means we have to do without some much needed things like
getting to go to a laundrymat (washing clothes in the bathtub sucks especially as a grown woman in her 40s) test strips, and a phone etc.
Had I been in a scrap store, or a clipart licensing store this might not have been so bad but as it is, nearly every store I have been in has closed for one reason or another. I pulled my items from the last store over a year
ago and haven't found another. I have a few things in a 3D store but it's not a large one and has a very small customer base.
With all this going on I have decided I need to do something. I NEED my medication and I NEED the test strips so I know when to take emergency medication. While I do get medical assistance I have co-pays just like anyone else
and we need to supplement our food income, we've resorted to eating lunches at the local soup kitchen on the weekends because there's just not food enough for everyone at the end of the month.
I am not asking for donations, I don't want a hand out. What I am going to do is have a huge sale running until Sept 15th.
You can buy all my scrap kits in 1 bundle for less than $1 each. I have 37 kits for $20. If you would like to buy just specific ones the price is $2 for the first one and $1 for each additional kit. You can look at the kits here

I am also selling my clipart/tubes for less than $1 each if purchased as a bundle. The entire collection is $25, these are also available in individual packs at $1 each. There are well over 50 tube packs, some of them have never
been released. You can view those HERE
