I was referred to this website by my cousin. She has made around $40 in the last 6 months, so I thought I would give it a whirl.

If you have extra time, and don't mind taking surveys it is kind of a fun way to make a little extra money.

I have made $2 so far (which isn't a ton) but to log on and take surveys here and then it will be fun extra money to go out to lunch, or buy myself a treat.

You also get paid if you refer people and they take surveys.

Sooo...you should check it out. It's a real legit thing, which seems to be hard to find.

Let me know what you think, and happy survey taking!

If you have taken my button and placed it on your blog, I would like to thank you.

However, I just figured out that my button is not working properly.

If you have taken my button, please update it with the new code:

Or you can grab it off my sidebar.

Whoops...sorry for the hassle, but the old ones don't work.

Thanks ;)

I have had a few people ask me how I find all the freebies I post on my facebook page. It's no secret, I use many other websites to find free stuff, so I thought I would share with you the best ones I have found around this little internet world.  (In no particular order, here are some sites I digg)

http://absurdlycool.com/

http://www.bargaindivas.com/

http://freesamplefreak.com/

http://hip2save.com/

http://thefreebieblogger.com/

I have been a slacker in updated my facebook page with freebies, so feel free to locate them yourself. Or...when I get the time and post on facebook, I do the work and sort out the junk and will post the good things I find on there.

I totally love getting stuff for free, I hope this helps those of you that have asked!

Thanks,

Did you know that pepper, like salt and pepper comes from a tree?

I seriously didn't know that. Here is a picture of a Pepper Tree in San Juan Capistrano, CA.

San Juan Capistrano is also known as a number one hot spots for Ghosts. So the family and I went on a mini ghost hunt as well (when we were there visiting) .

We didn't see anything, but there is a story of a lady that is seen often out in front of this pepper tree.

The "white lady," who materializes in fog and likes to call attention to herself, has been sighted on Los Rios Street, the Capistrano Villas, Las Brisas, and in the foothills behind Del Obispo. She's a playful ghost, dressed in a long white dress, who cavorts and teases, but never lets anyone catch up to her.

It was a fun little outing. This is a totally random post.

Maybe it's because I'm an Idaho girl, but I seriously had no clue that pepper came from Pepper trees :)

I am not a ghost hunter, it was just fun to pretend. But...I am curious if anyone you know or if you have been ghost hunting here in San Juan Capistrano CA?

Later,

Welcome 07/10/2010
 
I have been on a serious no crafty holiday. I think the summer weather has been keeping me super busy. This weekend I decided to work on a few unfinished projects.

I was given some old drawers from a broken chest of drawers. (I thought I had before pictures, but can't seem to find them) I decided to take them apart and just use the drawer fronts.

I left the pain original, it is worn and I loved the look.

I borrowed a Cricuit from a friend and cut some letters out of card stock. I modged podged them on, and then sprayed a clear protective coat on top.

This is what I came up with:

I love how it turned out! It looks super cute on the entry up to my house. The other part that totally rocks, is this project was FREE!!! Those are the best projects :)

Here is a little better close up:

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Until next time,
