Action is the foundation key to success. ~ Pablo Picasso

Tools, Tools.....we love our tools,

I certainly love especially my pink handled crop-o-dile and couldn't part with this helper, but do you have some in your scrap room that are surplus to requirements?? Or you have bought a new tool that is multi-purpose and made another in your stash redundant?? I have several that I don't use much any longer and it got me thinking about having a place other than trade-me to find a new owner for them....

So I am going to make a photo-album of "SH tools for sale" and invite you to join me in adding yours to it also. All you need to do is send me a photo with the $$ amount you would like which I will add to the photo.....and when someone enquires I will pass their email onto you to do the deal. Do you think this could work??

Inspirational thought for today....

I have never been a millionare. But I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us, that money cannot buy. ~Jack Anthony
