Hello!

Welcome to my blog. I make no promises as to what I'm going to write or even when. I write about whatever is on my mind when I get the chance (but I'm working on posting more often). Feel free to leave me messages about what you want to see here or what you think about what I've already said. See ya!

Paperclip Project Update

I still have this silly bottle of lotion, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I might have to take a hit on some points so I don't totally fail the project. If that doesn't work, I suppose I'll get a new paperclip and start over. Please, let me know if you have ANYTHING you would like to trade.

I'm currently looking for a tenor sax so if you or someone you know has one they would trade, let me know what you would need for it. I'm trying to work backwards.

As far as getting the word out, I've posted on Facebook, a few Facebook groups, Twitter, 4 Craigslist ads, and Missouri Buy, Sell, Trade. I've e-mailed and texted several people about items I see listed and haven't gotten any feedback (though I did get a very rude voicemail from one). This is probably one of the most frustrating projects I've ever done simply because I'm stuck.

So I'm asking you to please share this with your friends. Help me get the word out that I'm looking for trades. If I fail this and get below a C in this class, I won't graduate. This project is THAT important so please help me out!!!

One Red Paperclip Project

Alright friends, as you probably know, I'm participating in the "One Red Paperclip" project in which I start with a single red paperclip and try to trade up to see what awesome stuff I can get. I've decided to blog about it so those interested can keep up with what I've traded and what I currently have. I'll also be on Facebook and Twitter about it. So here's where we are now...

10/15/12 - I was given a red paperclip in MG354 class to begin the project. I posted on Facebook about it and got some interest.

10/15/12 - I got an offer to trade my paperclip! I'll be giving it up for an 8oz bottle of Midnight Pomegranate lotion to Lydia Holland.

10/15/12 - Upon hearing about my deal, I received a comment about what a great gift it would be and the promise to look around and find something to trade.

10/16/12 - I woke up this morning to a message on Facebook asking me if I still need an upgrade and how long my project lasts. I'm waiting to hear back on what this person has. I also had a comment on a post about 2 brand new, women's, leather motorcycle jackets (which I'm thinking could work out later as I hardly think it's fair to try to trade those for a bottle of lotion). I'll be meeting Lydia this morning to get the lotion and would love to make another deal by the end of the day!
