Great time to join swagbucks, if you have been thinking about it! This week there will be daily swag codes on their blog and fun winter-themed swagbucks! Collect all 8 collector "bills" and get a 25 swagbuck bonus! The easiest way to get swagbucks is by searching- you can install their toolbar or if you prefer not to, set your home page to www.swagbucks.com or www.search.swagbucks.com. Make sure you sign in with your username before you start searching to earn them to your account! More details about the Winter Madness promotion here.  Swagbucks is great and it's free. I have earned so many Amazon and Starbucks giftcards through this rewards program.  They have lots of other great things you can earn too, even more expensive items like game consoles and Keurigs!  Interested? Click here!  Have fun!

If you have been thinking about signing up for swagbucks-

Now is the time! Not only will you get 30 swagbucks just for signing up, but use the code MARCHSWAG and get an additional 70 swagbucks!! The code is good for one use until April 2nd at 11:59PST.  If you want to check it out, click here.  It is free to sign up, free to win swagbucks, and free to turn in swagbucks for free stuff! I personally get their Amazon gift cards- and gotten so many things free from Amazon! It's great for getting gifts for people and there are many ways to earn! If you have any questions feel free to post a comment on the post, just make sure you have an email address where I can answer you. :)  Thanks for letting me take a break from the usual stuff to tell you about this great opportunity. :)

OH- and right now they are running  "March Swagness" (like March Madness?) but it has nothing to do with basketball.  Simply earn the daily goal posted on your swagbucks home page and get bonus swagbucks! At the end of the promotion, if you have reached your goal every day, they will double your bonus bucks! I think it's fun trying to reach my goal and it has helped me earn more than usual. 
OK, infomercial is over. ;)

a quick post at lunch..

Just a reminder to all my swagbucks peeps that today is Mega Swagbucks Day! Today if you search you are more likely to win large amounts of swagbucks than on a normal day.  They are also having a code extravaganza, keep an eye on my widget to the right. :) To check for codes, click the Code icon then the "check for swagbucks code"(or something like that) button.. it will tell you where to look. Once you get the code, type it in the gimme box on the swagbucks homepage. 
If you're not familiar with swagbucks, its a great reward site where you get virtual dollars, "swagbucks" for searching using their search engine, as well as other things, like surveys, games, polls, etc. It's completely free to sign up and you can use your swagbucks for great prizes l.ike Amazon and Starbucks gift cards,  toys, and lots of other things.  If you're interested simply click here .  Did I mention you cann also earn swagbucks through redeeming coupons?

Progress on "I"

It seems like I am moving so slowly on my stitching projects lately- it's so frustrating! I know it's just that I have too many hobbies and not enough spare time.  It doesn't make it less frustrating though! Here is my progress on the I from the Stitcher's Alphabet-

I had an insurance class today out of town- the drive is so nice- even though it's two lanes almost the whole way, it's through lots of rural area and nice scenery.  Not all of it's pretty yet- there is still alot of brown trees and grass- but I did see some trees budding and lots of this-

I think it's thistle but I'm not sure? I don't think heather grows around here. :) Anyway they were nice bright spots in all the brown fields. I would've gotten a better picture but there wasn't many places to pull over.

Just a reminder if you are interested in signing up for swagbucks(free stuff, no strings attached!), see my post here. There is a special code in that post that will get you and additional 50 swagbucks if you sign up and use the code by the 28th at 11:59 pm EST.  The sign up link is in that post also. :)

Well, off to bed- sorry I haven't posted more- like I said stitching progress has been slow.. hopefully I can find more time (or just manage it better) and get something accomplished!

It's Swagbucks birthday- now is the time to sign up!

A month or so ago I posted about swagbucks.com - a great site to win free stuff, no strings attached, including gift cards for Starbucks, Amazon, and so many more, as well as other great items- MP3 downloads, things for kids, games and accessories for game systems as well as the game systems themselves.  Well Swagbucks' 3rd birthday is this week, and they have given me to offer my blog readers to earn an extra 50 swagbucks when you sign up here.  They already give you a nice amount of swagbucks for signing up, and this will be in addition to those.  The code is 3rdBirthday149, and it is case sensitive.  It is also only for people signing up for the first time, and will expire at 11:59 pm on Feb. 28th. The site also has a coupon section where you can print coupons from your computer, and when you redeem them you get 10 swagbucks for each coupon redeemed( it does take 8-12 weeks, but free is free, right?) I really hope you'll try it out- sign up, search for anything via swagbucks.com or search.swagbucks.com (make sure you're signed in) and you'll start winning swagbucks! I generally win 3 or 4 times a day for searching, and you can search for anything.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me- a link to my email is in my blog profile.  Have fun! A stitchy post will follow soon! (That's the hunky Swag Guy aka TSG, above. ;) )

Awsome Barnes & Noble deal- especially if you are a swagbucks member!

Today only(I think) get a t$20 Barnes & Noble gift card for $10!! AND earn 315 swagbucks!! Not signed up? Click my link: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/austenfan


It's free, and you earn FREE stuff! How great is that? And usually through their shop & earn sites you don't earn swagbucks for gift card purchases, so this is a wonderful opportunity to build your swagbucks balance.
 
Will post some stitching photos soon-have a great night!

Second hedgehog finished!

Hoping to finish this one up this weekend. Then on to the bigger projects and maybe a rotation.

Here are some pretty clouds I saw today-

But for a really beautiful sunset head over to my 365-day blog !

To my readers that signed up for swagbucks- tomorrow is "mega swagbucks day" where most bucks you get for searching will be 11 or higher- so give it a shot! And I'm not just saying it cause I will get matching bucks. ;) Just search from the swagbucks homepage, or search.swagbucks.com.  It really does pay off, I just posted my 3rd amazon gift card this month! Gonna buy goodies for my new Keurig. :)

Not much news, it's been a slow week at work..I did go to a ladies' dinner/potluck at church on Tuesday night.  We had quite a spread! Roast, potatoes, carrots, green been casserole, cinnamon apples, sweet potato casserole, potato salad, and lots more.. we had a really nice time!

I picked up my Jan/Feb issue of Just Cross Stitch today- I was so relieved to get it because after I saw the designs by Plum Street Samplers and Praiseworthy Stitches I had to have it.  The sampler by Carol Emmer is lovely too, as well as some of the other designs! Now I just have to finish up some WIP so I can start something new. :)

Well, I guess I better head to bed.. I've been staying up too late lately and am starting to feel it!

And now a break from our regularly scheduled programming..

LOL! I hope I don't bother too many with this post- just wanted to share about something I started doing in the last few months and thought I'd share, in case it could help you too! :)  Some of you may have noticed my Swagbucks banner in the sidebar. I don't even remember how I found out about swagbucks, possibly a couponing blog or something.. anyway. Swagbucks is completely free, easy, and fun way to get something for nothing. Really! Swagbucks gives you virtual dollars for searching the web with their search engine(no download required), taking surveys, watching videos(even cooking videos with the likes of Paula Deen!) and playing games, among other things!! Swagbucks helped me pay for several of my Christmas presents this year, as they can be redeemed for gift cards to Amazon, Sephora, Starbucks, Itunes, and more, even pay pal cash.  The most recent way is the games.  You can play for free and earn a some random swagbucks, or spend a few swagbucks to enter tournaments to win larger amounts.  There is only one swagbucks account allowed per household, so if you don't like to play games, your kids could play them for you! :) And you reap the swagbucks.  To sign up for swagbucks (you get some instant swagbucks just for signing up, and extra if you enter the code in the next line!) click here- this is the sign up without the games.  To sign up with the game link click here- Free Games. Use the code SBGames to get your additional swagbucks. :) (to enter your code, go to the swagbucks home page, enter the code in the empty box under your info in the top right hand corner, and click "Gimme.") The code is good only til 11:59 pm PST so hurry!   And again,no downloads are required, and swagbucks will not spam you!  Hope this benefits you like it has me! OH, and one more thing- swagbucks now has a coupon section- printable coupons you can use, and once redeemed will earn you swagbucks. Read more at the site, or if you have any questions feel free to email me!  And now back to your regularly scheduled program.. ;)  Happy swagging!

Will blog more later today- have some snow pictures, etc!
