Shop Hop Saturday---Work Week! And Sweetheart Celebration!

I'm working hard to get back in to the swing of things.  Mostly I am working away on my crafts to keep getting them listed in my etsy store and such.

I do have 2 new postings this week.  They are repeats of products already in my store:

Cotton Crocheted Washcloths Set of 3 in Billowing Blues 

Save the Earth Fabric Bag 

 

I have a couple of things lined up to list next week already as I work on some larger projects to get listed.

I am working on a quilt with flower fabrics, a new toothbrush rug, sets of double thick crocheted hot pads with matching coasters, and I have 2 table runners I want to get put together.  I have one more fabric bag ready to sew and material enough to make 3 or 4 more of the Save the Earth bags.

 

On to the sweetheart Celebration---Monday, January 9, 2012 is the last day for get the early bird pricing of just $5 for a 45 minute presentation time.  Hurry in and grab your spot!  We are back on track on having these online parties and they just get better with each one and more and more know about them.

 

Shop Hop Saturday--New Year's Edition

It's that time of year to really re-think goals...at least for most of it is.
After pretty much concentrating on Christmas the past couple of weeks, I'm more than ready to get myself back in to some sort of a normal routine.

There are my goals---not all having to do with "business"
1.  Clean and re-organize my house--and keep it that way.  This means putting things back where they belong, getting rid of excess that just isn't needed, and more.

2.  Quit smoking---easier said than done, but something I really need to be able to accomplish.

3.  Make my goal of reaching a minimum made online of $600 per month--this total includes the value of items that I get free for review and such.

4.  To reach #3 I need to be active in squidoo each and every day.  I need to keep up with working on my crafts and sewing daily.  I need to learn about different affiliates and how those programs work.  It also means better ways of getting the word out about the things I am doing online.

5.  Learn to say no when asked to do things outside of the home.  When I say yes, and doing so takes me away from home for hours at a time, my whole day ends up feeling like a waste.  Of course there are exceptions but it's been crazy.  Take me here, take me there.....

6.  Each Sunday I am going to make a list of school assignments for Jasmine.  These will be expected to be done by the end of the week.  These will be things for her to do on her own, in her own time, but preferably the times when I can't be sitting one on one with her for schoolwork.

I'm sure there are more things that I can list that I'm not thinking about right now.  No, I'm not going to go over this list in my blog over and over.  I may occasionally talk about the goals in with my regular posting however.

So...let's see.  I finally made it back into my sewing room 2 days ago after almost 2 weeks of no sewing.  I still hope to make it in there tonight, at least for some ironing and cutting to get ready for sewing.

I did post one item in my etsy shop--another set of the billowing blues washcloths.

I want to tell you about the Sweetheart Celebration coming up.  Time is getting close on being able to get your spot for just $5!!!  Please click the button on the side for more information.  I need to get myself better prepared for it.

I will be taking part in DNBuster and Friends Valentines Giveaway her blog.  You may also click the button on the side to find out more information about that.

I have one current giveaway up for Natural House cleaners.  If you haven't already, please enter to win.

I made a new page here on my blog.  It's Hand Made in 2012 (linky).  If you post with instructions on hand made items (including food), or you have made an item that you gave as a gift, please post to the linky.  I want to see LOTS of link ups and lots of inspiration.  Posts can be old or new, and do not need to be blog posts.  They can be posts at hubpages, redgage, squidoo, gather, etc etc.  You can also list you etsy or other stores where you sell hand made items.

I still have book reviews to catch up on here on my blog....music reviews and giveaways to get done, and more.
But, I am going to quit rambling for this week and spend the evening with my hubby for new year's eve.

Friday January 30

Good morning! It's Friday!
I got my wireless router in and hooked up yesterday. Now I am ready when I do get that laptop but I have a lot of saving up yet to do to reach that goal.
We ended up spending hours yesterday working on cleaning and organizing my mom's house here so I didn't get a whole lot of internet time. Sometimes you just have to do that.
I'm still working in my own group on gather...clearing content that has 25+ comments and posting 10 posts a day that don't have that many yet. It's really kind of fun and I am seeing content that I've missed along the way in the process.

Today is the final day of the Sweetheart Celebration at Under The Rainbow. I'm not presenting, but will spend most of my day there. I've been drawn to win 3 prizes, that is really cool. I think I will get the other 2 magnetic bracelets made and listed on blujay today. Otherwise I am going to work on cleaning around my desk area while I sit here.

I sold 3 auctions at homeschoolbuy recently, so I want to make my featured squidoo lens to be about that site today. It's a nice site, with a great owner who is always there to help when you need it. Homeschool Buy

I'm off for now, trying to get through all my paid to clicks and things before the online party starts.

Have a great Friday and an awesome start to your weekend.

Good Morning. It is still morning. I've gotten caught up in doing about 10 things at once both on and off the computer. I cleaned for about an hour, I've been working on things in my group on gather, clicking other sites, and also getting coupons ready in hopes of getting a ride to the store here n a bit. They are having the buy 10 get an extra $5 off sale again this week.

Soon it will be time for the Sweetheart Celebration to start! I am presenting from 3-4 pm cst. I hope you can make it in and join us for awhile. Right after my time is the activity hour then the live prize drawing, first one of the day. You can find us at Under The Rainbow Sweetheart Celebration!

For Some reason the banner isn't working, so please click the link above it.

The kids have Awanas this evening...and I really need to get Jasmine up and out of bed now and get her started on some schoolwork for the day.

Let's see what I have for you in squidoo today....how about another fun music lens. This one is on REO Speedwagon. I hope you enjoy the videos and lyrics that I chose to share. REO Speedwagon Fans
I have quite a bit of updating to do at squidoo as well as the other lenses to build. I will concentrate more on that next week once the celebration is over this week.

Until tomorrow, have a wonderful day,
Marsha

Monday January 26

Good morning! We didn't get that icy rain yet, and I did make it to the bank this morning. Not long after I was home my mom was doing laundry and it seems the sump pump has gone out. So, in other words, she is alredy asking for some of my money to get a new one!

Today starts the Sweetheart Celebration at Under the Rainbow. For some reason the button above is not taking you to the website. I hope you will join me Under the Rainbow chat and party room My time today is 5-6 pm cst and then 3-4 pm cst on Wednesday. I hope you will check it out.

Today I want to feature my squidoo lens on the Jerky Direct Business Opportunity. I am also offering a special during the celebration. Free shipping on your order if it's emailed to me at marsha.seiberling@gmail.com Jerky Direct Business Opportunity

That's today's plan, promoting my business LOL

Wishing you all the best day possible,
Marsha
