Goodbye eBay ....

I will be closing my eBay store, this month, marking the 4th Anniversary of my eBay store. I may occasionally list an item, but of course my website www.OldGlorySoldiers.com and Etsy store www.OldGlorySoldier.etsy.com , plus other marketplace ventures will remain open.

eBay has steered away from providing a true feedback system, not allowing a buyer to determine if a seller is providing good customer service and on the other hand - not allowing a seller to provide accurate feedback for a customer.

The definition of feedback implies a reciprocal relationship - eBay is using the word feedback, but not the definition, giving the false impression of a "real" and "safe" marketplace, when in fact it is a money maker for those sitting in the big chairs; lining their wallets with the buyers and sellers money.

Buyers don't fool yourselves. The higher the costs to the sellers, the higher the end cost to you!

Patriotic Prizes ...

These are the signs I just donated to my favorite event!!

You can buy them right here ... The Sweet Land of Liberty 24.95 each, Old Glory Shelf Sitter 7.95 each, and the Tattered Old Glory 5.95 each; plus travel fare - exact cost, no handling fee, calculated by your location.

We love to ship to our overseas friends too!

To buy one of these patriotic tributes post a reply, email, or visit ...

www.OldGlorySoldiers.com

To be entered in our upcoming drawing make sure you are following us on Facebook!

Celebrating Our Country All Year Long

Happy Fourth of July! To me this is a time of Honoring those that have sacrificed and continue to do so .... a time of remembering what Our Country was founded on ....

As an Army Brat, I was raised with Red, White, Blue, and Green, all year long! We didn't put our flags out for special occasions, or shop to buy those special Red, White, and Blue crafts for those times either. It was a way of life.

It is something that as an Army Spouse, I still do today. Everyday, I Celebrate My Country! And my house is Red, White, Blue, Colonial, and Primitive! I think the Colonial and Primitive, are an obvious compliment to Americana decor, as they share the same love of Family, God, and Country. They shared respect, dedication, hard work, and honesty that it took to survive.

We have lost a lot of that in Our Country. Hard work and honesty is a forgotten virtue too many times. It is something we must teach our children, so they can teach theirs.

We must not forget the sacrifice our forefathers made for us, and that Our Troops continue to make so we may remain a Free Country!

Have a Safe a Blessed 4th of July!

Tina

A Few Of Our Favorite Things ...

I really had a hard time choosing just a few!

It basically came down to what looked good together.

I have been enjoying making new labels and thought I would play around with a grouping of my offerings at the same time.

Vote for Red White and Blue Craft Off

Vote for Red White and Blue Craft Off at American Craft Guide

We have entered our Handcut, Woodburned, Wavy Edge flag. We do each by hand without a pattern so each is unique. All of the lines are woodburned by hand and we add our special touch to each edge so the flag appears to Wave! All have unique antique characteristics added.


They are finished with wire hangers; or can have sawtooth hangers if preferred. These are always popular as Patriotic gifts and home decor must haves; and are Proudly displayed in military and civilian homes nationwide and overseas. These are sealed to be Proudly displayed indoors or outdoors.

First Lady's Address To Families and Tina's Take

"I particularly cherished my visits with military families all across the country. ... the unique challenges they face because of their families' selfless service to our country. ...

All of us can learn a fundamental lesson from our military families: You don't need to wear a uniform to serve your country. We all have something to contribute to the life of this nation."

- excerpt from First Lady's Address To Families

http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,183199,00.html?ESRC=eb.nl

Tina's take ~~

We should all step forward and contribute to our community and in turn our Nation. We are at a critical time in our Nation! We have become complacent with laziness, stealing, blaming, and making excuses. We have been failing and falling behind for many years, is it any wonder that we are in the current economic state that we are in? Own your own downfallings and shortcomings and change ... or move out of the way and let those that you have been standing in the way get past. Don't stifle them. If we spend less time on blame and more times on ourselves then we will see a more productive society.

Hold the door, say thank you, smile, wave, buy someone's coffee, help someone with their groceries! Teach your children to respect their elders; but also hold places of authority accountable. This is what checks and balances are all about!

Teach your children honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion. Make sure you are approachable for anything! SADD is a great ever-evolving organization based on the changing times, that offers support and even Contracts For Life that you and your child sign. These are great tools to aid in the communication of tough subjects with your child.

We can all make a change now .... but it has to start today ... tomorrow the road will be longer to travel back.

~ Tina Shifflett, Proud Army Spouse and Brat
