I guess I am primarily asking those who are retired already.
I do the local craft shows around the holidays. I sell runners, bags, totes, quilts, rag dolls. I think this year I did 5 of them, cost for space 100.00 total, made about 1200.00. All of what I made at these each year goes to my DGS's tutition. I have had custody of him since he was 6 months old, is now 12. Goes to private christian school. I know I could save sending him to public school, but here they are so terrible and I would rather do without some things and try to stretch it so he gets a good education.
