I created an Etsy shop sometime last summer, but I haven't been time to make anything to post on it. :\ I would really LOVE to get going on that though. I'm glad you mentioned it!
I'd love to see some of the things you want to give away. :D I have a lot of my own stuff I probably should get rid of that is perfectly good, and since I have a policy about not throwing away (I hate throw-away-society, it makes me so mad), I have to figure out a way to donate or give away the things I don't need. :\
I have student loans, but since I'm still in grad school, I'm not paying them off yet. When I get out of school, what I'm goign to do is consolidate my loans, and then my husband and I are going to continue to live meagerly and just dump like, 70% of our paychecks into paying off student loans. If we're making about $50k each (and that may be on the low end since both of us will have Ph.D.s, that mean that if we continue to live on $20-30k per year, we can dump about $60k of our income into student loans and have everything paid of in ... AT MOST 3 years, but really, it should only take 2 years. That's our plan. :)

Good luck.
By the way, you make costumes?
