Photo by Kelleys-Creations. Go Green with Polished Rocks and Engraved Rocks

Everyone seems to be going green with everything they do. People are going green using solar energy for their heat and electricity. Some people are buying bamboo clothing and furniture for their home. Even different types of carpeting are made with green materials now.

If you like to create things for gifts or for yourself, you can go green by polishing rocks and engraving rocks. These polished and engraved rocks will be treasured by all those that you give them to for gifts. You can engrave their name, pet’s name, child or children’s names on them, favorite short sayings, crosses and other pictures and more.

To get started you will want to either order rocks online or go out and collect rocks. Once you have an ample supply of rocks, you will then want to clean the rocks. You will have about four stages to clean the rocks. You will need a tumbler that is also a rock polisher. The first stage of rock cleaning will have gritty sand. The gritty sand will tumble the rocks around and make the edges nice and smooth. You will use very fine sand at about the third stage of the rock cleaning.

Next brush off any dust on your rocks. Now you will need to engrave the rocks. You can buy the rock tumbler/engraver online. As long as you have a steady hand, the sky is the limit as to what you want to engrave on your polished rocks. After you have engraved the word or words on the rock, take a brush and clean off the dust.

Now you are ready to polish the rocks. You can buy rock polish at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Ben Franklin, etc., or you may choose to shop online for rock polish. Follow the directions on the rock polish and put the rocks in the tumbler and let it do its magic.

You now have a wonderful gift for yourself or for your friends. You may want to sell your unique polished rocks and engraved rocks online. Go to Etsy.com or make up your own website with a shopping cart for customers to purchase your rocks.

Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast with Activities to Make Money

Photo by Kelleys-Creations. Open Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast with Activities to Make Money.

If you live on a farm than a great way to make extra money is to open your farmhouse to a bed & breakfast with activities.

First you will need to block one or two of your bedrooms off as a business. Keep the farmhouse bedrooms cozy and attractive looking so people will want to stay in them. If one of the bedrooms has a bathroom off of it, you may want to save that bedroom to rent out. When guests have their own bathroom this will make them feel much more comfortable. You are also going to rent that room out more than a room without a private bathroom attached.

You can offer a choice of breakfast by leaving a little note in the customer’s room. Have them check off if they want eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns, cereal, toast, pancakes or crepes for breakfast. This way you can be prepared for when the guests come down to breakfast. Offer coffee, juice and milk with the breakfast.

For fun activities on the farm you can let the customers milk your cows. This would be an awesome experience for most people as they have never tried this. Any other animals you have such as pigs, sheep, etc., they could feed with you. If you have horses the customers could brush them. Customers that bring their children will love this part of the stay at your farmhouse bed & breakfast with activities to make money.

You can offer hay wagon rides for customers. If you have horses let them take horse rides around your acreage. This would be very romantic at sunset for a couple to do.

Have a quaint front porch swing and wicker chairs available on your front porch for the guests to relax on and enjoy the countryside.

To advertise you can list your farmhouse bed & breakfast with activities to make money on Craigslist, your local newspaper, magazines, online to advertise for people coming from another state or country and at all local businesses. To get the word out you may want to offer a free day or charge $2.00 to $5.00 a child for the elementary school in your area in the fall. The kid’s can do face painting, gourd and pumpkin painting, ride small horses, feed animals, enjoy a corn maze, play in a “sandbox” filled with hardened corn kernels, enjoy hay wagon rides and tractor rides, climb stacks of hay bales, drink milk, etc. You can open your farmhouse for potential customers to tour and make reservations.
