I have been encouraging my daughter to write a blog about how she earned money to pay for her 8th grade class trip. She, and her sister, are against it. However, with today's economy her journey may be interesting. If she does start up a blog, I'll post the link. Here is what she has done so far. We are a long way from reaching the amount needed.
$22.00 earned from selling homemade macrame jewelry at an event
$12.00 earned from the summer library program for reading books
Amount still needed: $545.00
It's been a difficult journey. We'll see what happens over the next month.
