Friday December 12

Good morning. I'm a little late getting my blog written as I've been doing some other things like getting Christmas cards addressed and out for the mailman and the craft order that I finished out in the mail too.
Jasmine was sick to her stomach yesterday so we left her down here alone. I worked on cards and dish scrubbies upstairs yesterday.
I have 4 more scrubbies and 2 washcloths to crochet for a prize to send out from the piepoints Black Friday event. Then, unless more orders come in I can get back to making the rest of my Christmas gifts.

The weather was just gorgeous yesterday. It's supposed to be that way today and tomorrow then take a turn for the worse again with snow and highs in the 20's starting Sunday. I better enjoy the nice while I can.

Since I didn't get much time on the computer at all yesterday I am in hopes of getting a lot done today. Mostly I want to work on catching up with gather email. I will work on crocheting as well.

Today's squidoo lens that I want to feature is one I built called Homeschool helpers. I talk a little about my home schooling, then offer lists that others can add to if they own their own business type website related to homeschooling and another list where they can post good homeschool websites. Whether you homeschool or not, I hope you will check it out. Homeschool Helpers

Until tomorrow,
Marsha

Thursday December 11

Good morning! It's a crisp chilly morning with no wind.
Yesterday was just bad....my son drove over here needing a driver to take him around, I was the only one here. As soon as I got done with him he did get me to my dr. appt. However, no one picked me up and I had to walk home...now that sucked! Thankfully there wasn't much wind, but it was only 30 degrees. I was in a bad mood and my legs felt cold the rest of the evening.
Today Heather has her math tutoring so hopefully my daughter will get her there and home. This evening I have church council meeting but I have a man from church picking me up for that.

I am working on some dish scrubbie orders. I need to have those done by tomorrow evening to be off in Saturday's mail. I still have several hair scrunchies to crochet. Some of the scrunchies I am sending to a lady on the Christmas wishlist group who is collecting little things to make stockings for the needy. I also need to get all my Christmas cards addressed and ready to mail as well. This is always such a busy time of the year for everyone.

Today I am featuring the squidoo lens that I built on the traffic exchanges that I do. I am signed up for more that was is listed, but these are the ones that I enjoy the most. Traffic Galore

I am off now to see what I can earn before it's time to head to work. Have a wonderful day,
Marsha

Wednesday December 10

Good Morning. I am getting a slow start this morning on the computer so I will have to be at work before I know it. 6 workdays left until I am done there!
Yesterday no sooner than I published my blog it started snowing like crazy. All we are mostly left with this morning are icy streets. It's now supposed to be sunny with highs in the 40's and 50's the remainder of the week.

My only extra post on gather yesterday was about an email I got from mypoints. It was an anniversary email...I've been a member of mypoints for 11 years!! It is one of th best and most reliable sites out there.

Today's squidoo lens to feature is one I built for my 12 year old daughter Jasmine. It's on the anime Death Note and I've recently updated it to make photos larger. Death Note Fans

In other news, still no money order from those books, which leaves me wondering if she really is going to pay. That is a sad thought as I've already borrowed and spent the profit from Steve. Also I have a doctor appointment this afternoon. It's a yearly check up, so get that over and I don't have to worry about it for another year.
I received payout for a 3rd time today from Matrixmails. If you are reading this in blogger, the banner is at the bottom of the page. Another program worth doing.

Until tomorrow, have a glorious day,
Marsha

Tuesday December 9

Good Morning!
Yesterday it got up to 60 degrees, and wasn't even cold with the wind! Today is a total turn around. It is super windy and really cold out there and they put us in a winter advisory, even talking about it getting bad enough for school closings tomorrow. I will take yesterdays weather!

Today is Heather's math tutoring. I've asked my daughter to take me to Wal Mart to get craft supplies while she is there. Tonight is bowling. With any luck I will also get that gal's money order in the mail and can get these books off in the mail.

Here is a post I did on gather about a rug I crocheted for beside Jasmine's bed. Finished One Rug for Beside Jasmine's Bed (with photo)

Today's squidoo lens to feature is one that I made highlighting online parties. It's an older one and I need to go find a way to spice it up with some graphics or something, but I hope you will go check it out...and add your own site if you own one or frequent one that holds online parties. Online Parties

Until tomorrow, stay safe and stay warm,
Marsha

Monday December 8

Good Morning. The weather is pleasant today. Looks like the temps drop quite a bit starting tomorrow. Another day to enjoy it while it's here.
8 days of work left...the countdown is still on.

I got a lot of gifts wrapped yesterday until I ran out of paper. I worked more on the yellow Barbie dress and made one more hair scrunchie. I need to make 5 or 6 more to have what I need for gifts.
No real plans today other than a trip to the grocery store, which reminds me that I need to get my list ready with coupons before work since I will have my daughter take me as soon as I get off.

I got the post done with photos of our Christmas tree and gifts and things. I hope you will take a look. Christmas Tree Up and Presents Wrapped

Today's squidoo lens I want to feature is my original lens. The one I thought was going to be the only one I built. Since I have taken a lot of the original stuff off of it and make those things in to different lens, but I have also added to this one. I hope you will check out Gifts Galore and More

I will leave you today and get on to the grocery list (and some yuwie comments) Have a great day,
Marsha

Sunday December 7

Good afternoon! I chose to stay off here this morning and do some things around the house and get the kids ready for church. Steve took us to church this morning for the Christmas dinner afterwards, it was really nice to go.
Last night Steve took his laundry to the laundry mat, then while it washed we ate at Kentucky Fried Chicken...while it dried we shopped at Dollar General. I got the rest of the little gifts for Allen, Ariel and Araya...and gained 2 more yellow bags towards working on the yellow Barbie dress.

While I am talking about that, I will share the link to my gather post on the blue Barbie dress that is complete. I am crocheting these with plastic bags. Once done with the dresses I am going to work here and there on a shopping bag. It's really interesting and fun, not to mention a great way to use those plastic shopping bags too. One Barbie Dress Complete

I had a suggestion on my Deathnote squidoo lens to make the photos larger to pop more. I did that last night, so I will make that today's featured lens in my blog. Death Note (anime)

Today's plans pretty well include vegging out here in front of the computer. I am going to crochet in these 2 bags on the Barbie dress, wrap some more gifts and crochet on more hair scrunchies while sitting here.

Until tomorrow I hope your Sunday has been blessed,
Marsha

Saturday December 6

Good Morning. 9:15...that is what time I crawled out of bed this morning. It wasn't that I stayed up late, but had a granddaughter who thought all night she was going to be sick.

I gave up on yuwie yesterday (sorry friends) I was trying to do about 10 things at once and when I would hit back to yuwie I would find I had left it on the page to leave a comment, then when I put the comment in it locked me out on suspicion of fraudulent activity. I guess just because it took me so long to put in the comment. When it happened the 2nd time I just closed yuwie for the day. I will catch up with you all today.

I actually did 6 posts on gather yesterday as well as shared 2 photos. I'm going to share my post of the Game Wave system we got yesterday thru bzz agent. Game Wave Gaming System Came Today From Bzzagent

I updated my cello in the box lens yesterday on gather so I will make that my featured lens for the day. I hope you will take a look, I put in the December specials. My Cello In A Box

No real plans today other than clicking away on the computer. I would like to make a trip to the grocery store at some point too.

Until tomorrow have a glorious day!
Marsha

Friday December 5

Good Morning!
I am later getting my blog done today. My daughter or her boyfriend didn't show up to get Allen to school. None of the usual people that my mom call would answer their phones...so the secretary of the school came to get him after things settled down for her. I am so tired of this!! My daughter should have just let me homeschool him and we wouldn't be going through this stuff of getting him up early and off to school.

I am also late posting because I started messing with crocheting with the plastic bags. I am starting on making the Barbie dresses for the girls and it's just not going to be as easy as I thought. Once I get them done I will be posting on gather and sharing here.

Today's squidoo lens to share is on Aerosmith. I actually built this one last night. I chose 5 of my favorite songs, put youtube videos as well as the lyrics for each song. I hope you will take a look and enjoy :) Aerosmith Fans

I have a doctor appointment this morning. I have no idea if I have a ride to get there. All I can do is wait and if no one is here to get me by a quarter til then to call and say I don't have transportation and make another appointment. This is why no vehicle sucks!

I think that is all, I will update more tomorrow.
Marsha

Thursday December 4

Good Morning! When I was outside there wasn't any wind...no wind would sure make the day a lot more bearable as far as the cold goes.
My daughters boyfriend is going to Wichita again to have his broken ankle checked. Good thing today is the day the gal that's giving me a ride to work gets off the same time as I do. We already talked to them at math tutoring and told them we probably wouldn't have a way to get Heather there. Mom will have to find a ride to the doctor today.
Mom just really seems to not understand how aggravating it is for her to keep calling and calling for rides places. Then, if the ride isn't here right away she is callng them back. You can't just expect people to jump because you need to go somewhere and it's a LOT to ask for a ride for her to go to her doctor twice a week. (I personally think he is a quack that just takes people's money)
As I said, not having a vehicle wouldn't be near as bad if we weren't coming into the cold and snow and ice season.

Today's squidoo lens to share is Earn With Marsha. This one lists the paid to clicks that I do on a regular basis. I belong to tons, but these are the ones that I do daily. Earn with Marsha

Until tomorrow, have a great day,
Marsha

Wednesday December 3

Good Morning. It's a cold windy morning here!
Today is my mom's payday and I don't know that she has found a ride to get all her stuff paid. I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night so I tried to go back to bed after we got Allen off to school. Now here it is almost time for me to head to work. 10 more days, I am counting down!

Steve did buy me that sewing machine. That's all he talked about last night wasll the things I can sew now. I do look forward to getting the machine out, setting it up and getting started on something. I have some scraps of material from a friend that I want to start a quilt with. However, I need to finish up things I've started for Christmas gifts before I can start messing with the sewing machine.

Today's squidoo lens to share is about the crafts that I make. Marsha's Crafts

The kids have Awanas this evening after having last week off. I'm hoping my daughter and her boyfriend will get them there. That is one reason I miss the van as I do enjoy getting them there and picking them up. Keep praying that I can get another vehicle really soon.

Have a good day and stay warm!
Marsha
