I've been so busy!

I've been meaning to post pictures of my zazzle buys! I've had them for a while and took pictures, but I've been so busy lately that I forgot to post them. I am going to be scanning my post cards since I'm not that great at photography.



It may look different, but it's an awesome binder. I just love the weird and unique.

I've also ordered 4 mugs, but only going to show one on here since the other 3 have pictures of my children on them. Just not interested in putting my children's pictures online. Will be posting a picture up as soon as I get it. Very excited about getting it. I have so many plans for that mug.

Well I hope to chat more I've got to get busy making lenses. I'll definitely be working more here once I get my goals done before the New Year. Thanks for reading!

We need to stick together.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. The artists at Zazzle and the Lensmasters at Squidoo should work together more. It does happen, but not enough. This is a great money maker if we put ourselves together. I put my efforts in both places. I promote other people's work. Do I get anything out of it? If I work at it I do. No one pays me to personally do this. This is what I want to do and if I earn something then that's great.

I had an idea after making a purchase at Zazzle. I had found an item that I promised myself I would buy. I wanted it really bad and now I'm just waiting on it to arrive. After I get it and find a use for it then I'll take photos and share them with my readers here and on Squidoo. This is an item that I bought for my own personal use. I didn't buy it to earn anything talking about it.

I bought something I made at Zazzle also. I bought it for my mother. It's a part of something that she loves and I figured it was her Birthday soon so I can get her something unique. I'll be posting pictures of those items that I got also. Yes I can promote myself.

So what I'm planning on doing is spending a portion of the profits I get promoting other sellers and buying items from sellers that have an item that I just have to buy. Then I'll be promoting the items by taking pictures and posting them on here and Squidoo. Think about it this way. People will be more inclined to buy something if the one promoting it feels good enough about the product to buy it. I don't like the idea of showing off products that I know nothing about. This is about trust. Plus I now have a reason to buy some pretty cool items.

So let's work together and promote the sellers on Zazzle and let them help promote us.

I thought about showcasing an item today.

I was working on a page at Squidoo and I saw something at Zazzle. It was a beautiful Christmas Gift Tag. What is a Gift tag you say? Well you remember when wrapping up a present for Christmas and putting a paper card on it to say who goes to? Well that's what a Christmas Gift Tag is.

I want to share with you this item. I just love looking at it. The person created the image and put it up for sale as a gift tag. Check it out below. Will include a picture also.



Isn't that just beautiful? Stop by her shop and let her know what you think. You can leave a comment in her box.

It's Christmas Time Once Again.

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. Every year it seems to come at me faster. I have two children and I want them to have everything that they want, but obviously I can't buy out a whole store and say here you go kids. I do have a plan this year that's slowly coming together.

I made a Christmas Wish List on Squidoo. I put together a list of things they wanted and I could afford. I really want them to have a hand held game system. I may even have to get my son one early since he's going to a different state this year for Christmas and needs entertainment for the 10 hour drive.

My goal was to buy all of the items at Amazon. I just love that place with it's free shipping and no tax so it was the number 1 choice. I have bought a few presents that weren't from them, but that's because of a really good sale.

So after putting up the page there I am waiting on some royalties to come my way. Nothing yet, but I can still earn money from having the page up. I may not be able to get all the items for the kids, but earning a little on the side will definitely will help ease the pain of Christmas.
