Who's who-The creative mind behind MHaynes2009

Who is MHaynes you may ask? MHaynes is a teacher in Wisconsin who has been one of our fellow etsians since July. She loves to keep busy during the summer months doing crafts such as making jewelry, scrapbooking, and beading.

If you've taken a look around her shop you'll know in a heartbeat that she sells crafting supplies at amazingly low prices! From jewelry and tags to cards and scrapbooks, you'll find it all at MHaynes shop!

She realized how expensive crafting supplies were in her area and decided to sell supplies on her site for a much more reasonable rate. What a great idea and job you're doing MHaynes!

Since she's opened her shop in July she's had 98 sales, all with 100% positive feedback!

I found this new item in her shop today. This would be perfect for Valentines Day jewelry, etc. Now would be a great time to start getting ready for Valentines Day, it'll be here before we know it!



This heart is only $4, and MHaynes is offering 15% off to new customers! You can get this heart at MHaynes2009 shop by simply clicking on the link at the top left. That link will take you directly to her shop. Don't forget to mention my blog and that you're a new customer to get your 15% off of these already low prices! Happy shopping everyone!

Frugal finds

I was checking my email and browsing MHaynes shop when I came across these beautiful items below and had to share them with you. Below there's the cutest little snowflake keychain that's just $2.00!

I also found this lovely lot of undrilled beads. I'm seriously considering making jewelry, after I learn how. I was thinking that these stones would look great wire wrapped. Just think how many different things you could do with them! You could make earrings, necklaces, bracelets, even rings! I thought $4.00 was more than a reasonable asking price for these stones.



It's time to go get myself some coffee and get the kids some breakfast, so I'll be on here later. Remember, there is a direct link to MHaynes2009 shop at the top left under "My Fave Links" for your ease of shopping and browsing. Have a great day everyone!

New found treasures

I found some lovely charms today while I was browsing MHaynes shop. So many charms, so little time! I found these beautiful Oyster charms today..

These lovely oyster charms are only $2.50! They are made from pewter and are 2 centimeters. I'm not quite sure why, but they made me think of Spongebob.



I also fell in love with these lovely deep blue drop shells. I think that a lovely pair of earrings and a matching bracelet could easily be made from these lovely drop shells. You can make all 20 of these drop shells yours for the modest price of $1.50!

These are amazing prices, and if I were talented enough to make jewelry, I would definately buy these beautiful items!

You can gain access to MHaynes2009 shop by simply clicking on her link to the top left under 'My Fave Links'. Happy shopping!

If you are a fellow etsian and looking to be featured on my blog, I am sorry to inform you that at this time I am not accepting anymore shops. I am totally booked through April 3rd! I will begin looking for shops to feature again toward the end of March. I will be in chat rooms on etsy, or you can send me a convo through etsy the last week of March.

I am looking forward to featuring all of our upcoming etsy shops in the near future, as I'm sure they're looking forward to being featured. If you are going to be featured please don't announce it on this blog, I want it to stay a surprise so everyone gets their very own week to be featured. However, if you're found to be announcing it on this blog then you will forefit your week to be featured. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Good night everyone!

New Featured Seller! Please Welcome MHaynes2009!

MHaynes2009 will be our featured seller this week. She has many lovely items in her shop, including these beautiful brass dove charms. You get 35 for $4. What an amazing price!
If anyone would like to get me these lovely items for a belated birthday present I would love them! Especially the ones below, I love giraffes! *wink wink* These giraffes can be yours (or mine) for only $3! What a deal!

She also has many beautiful beads, stamps and cards. Please take a few moments to look at her lovely shop. The link to her shop will be posted to the left under my favorite links.

Again, as I have posted in previous posts, I am just trying to help fellow etsians with their shops and do not recieve any money or otherwise. If you would like to be featured on my blog, please send me a convo on etsy. Thanks, and happy shopping!

Gingerbread house and decorating day

I'm going to attempt to make a gingerbread house today. The kids will probably eat more of the candy they put on, but it will be fun. I think the reason I never made one before was cause it would mostly just be for me, and I would have to have to have it perfect.

Now that the kids are old enough to actually know what's going on I think it will be fun. (I say that now, remind me I said it when I'm done) It may not be a perfect gingerbread house, or look the best to the untrained eye, but to me it will be.

This may not make sense to alot of people who are not parents, but to alot of parents it will. Something doesn't have to be perfect to be perfect. I know this gingerbread house, and our overly decorated tree will be perfect. I'll post pics before the kids tear into it and devour it. Talk to y'all later :)

Great Deals at Serenasgifts!

Serenasgifts is offering free shipping on all orders! She also let me know to tell everyone that she will also make a customized free gift to go along with your purchase! How great is that? Like I said in a few earlier posts, Valentines day is coming fast.

I like flowers, but the only thing about them is they die after a few days. Why not get something that lasts? Serenasgifts has VERY reasonable prices, free shipping, and you get TWO pieces of jewelry for the price of one! What a great deal! If you haven't looked at her shop yet now is a great time to do so. Get these great deals while you can! Don't forget to mention you heard about these great deals here on my blog to get free shipping and free jewelry with your purchase!

Who's Who- the mind and artist behind Serenasgifts

Hi!
My name is Serena and I have a store in Indianapolis that is truly my heart and joy. I opened the store about three years ago and it has changed and molded into what it is today. It is a small shop that offers other artists in the community an opportunity to sell their items. I charge 20 a month for them to put items in my store, I charge no percentage or any other fees and 100% of the money goes back to the artists and their families here locally.

Not only does this help select families but it helps our little community overall by keeping our money local. I chose to do this even though I make nothing from it in order to be a positive role model to my three female children and to other women in our area. I truly love what I do.

I design and create jewelry, all of it is one of a kind and no piece is ever duplicated. All of my designs have meanings behind them and are made so that the women who wear them can not only feel pretty but can be empowered. Some are reminders of things we need to think about, for instance Wind's Wings is a reminder that being free and responsibility come hand in hand and some women forget they can still feel free while being responsible for their families. So wearing a piece like that you can have a physical token to help you remember that freedom is not something you grow out of but something to treasure and enjoy every day regardless of age or consequence.

Personally I am a wife and mother of three girls who are 17, 13 and 13. My husband was a career Military Police Officer for the Army until he got hurt. He has served overseas and is truly my hero in every aspect. We have a dog named Orion who is incredibly spoiled and very much part of our little family.

New shop featured today!--Serenasgifts

Serenasgifts has some beautiful unique jewelry. Such as this lovely wire wrapped copper love note necklace for only $19!

Also, this lovely Copper and Red Glass Crystal Teardrop Necklace for only $22!

Common fellas, valentines day is coming up! *wink* What woman wouldn't love a unique piece of jewelry no one else has?! And if you live in or near Indianapolis Indiana you can visit her store! You can find the address to her store in Indianapolis, or shop at her store on etsy by using the link to the left under my favorite links.

Happy shopping!

What's new

Ok, I have found some AMAZING treasures on etsy.com. There is something for everyone, all the items are unique in thier own ways. Everything on Etsy is handmade or vintage. On etsy you can find things from handmade/vintage jewelry to handmade kids clothing. They have everything on there!

So to help my fellow etsians out with thier shops, I will feature a new shop each week. They are not paying me to be featured, they just have some great shops and I want to help them get the word out. So please tell the featured shops that you saw them on my blog. And don't forget to tell your friends and family too! I've found some great friends and some amazing things, please take a look at these wonderful shops I will be featuring.

If you are an etsian please leave me a comment here to be featured in this blog.

I love this site, much better than ebay, it's not as cluttered. you can check it out at www.etsy.com Have fun!

ICK!!

Well... now I have the ick.
Rich is the one who made me sick.
My nose is all stuffy,
my eyes are all puffy,
and I feel like I'm gonna vomit.

I can't even get out of bed.
I won't even try to lift up my head!
I just want to sleep,
but it won't be too deep,
I feel like I swollowed some commet.

Hubby is really great.
He's cleaned every dirty plate!
He kept the kids fed,
He even put them to bed!
I didn't have to lift one finger!

Although the situation is dire,
He even got wood for the fire!
He took out the trash,
What a dash!
He took so the smell wouldn't linger.

Although I'm at the end of my tale,
I'm still drinking ginger ale.
Although I'm feeling better,
Outside just gets wetter.
And I think I'll stay sick a bit longer....

Weird....

K, I know I've got some REALLY weird colors this time, but I thought what the hay, I wanna put colors on my blog that don't really match. It's fall and halloween time, why can't I put some funky colors on here? So, what do ya think?

Coupon books, sickness, and appointments, OH MY!

Within the past month I've had I don't know how many appointments. Hubby is sick again :( Some kinda stomache virus. Went to the Dr. today and they told him he can't go to work until Saturday. I took the two younger girls to the Dr. yesterday to get the flu shot and immunizations. Yikes! Rebekkah only got the flu shot and 2 viles of blood drawn. She didn't cry or even wimper! Kara got 4 shots in her left leg, 3 in the right, and they had to poke her twice (once in each arm) to draw blood. The second time they got a vein but she moved and the needle came out. So they had to prick her cute little toe and get blood that way to see if she was still anemic and for lead. Boy did she scream, the poor little thing. And tis the time for coupon books to be sold. Poor Alyssa, she won't even reach the 5 needed to get a little t-shirt. And she's only 1 away!!! I checked to see how her class was doing on selling them and it's pitiful. They've barely filled the bottom of their little thermometer thingy. I can't wait to get mine though! They've got alot of really good ones this year! I know for sure we'll be using the Snappy Tomato one this year! That's one of the new ones they put in. Got some new pics of the new patitudes I've done :)

This one is embroidered and in UT colors:


This one is in camoflauge colors (I thought it was a cute idea):




Please leave me comments and let me know what you think!

Woohoo! The new website is up!

My hubby just fixed a few more things today, so it's ready to use. It'll be awile till he can put some REALLY cool stuff up, but hey, he works 40+ hours a week. I think he did AWESOME! He built it from scratch, and put my side up before his. :) He is sooooo sweet! He's gonna use his side to advertise for building websites. He loves computers, and can do all sorts of stuff. Lord knows how many programming and IT books we have. He's even going to ITT Tech just so he can have the degree to back him up. The programming class he took there was a joke, he was pretty much teaching the teacher. Lol, the teacher tried to say that programming in DOS and Visual Basic isn't real programming. Lol, my hubby tried to teach me that, it was a nightmare! Sorry for getting all technical. Anyways, if anyone needs a programmer/designer, I know someone. *wink* Anyways, check out the link to the left for Creative Accents. Yea! My first web page!!

Gone

Ok, I know I haven't written to keep all my wonderful readers up to date on my very exciting life. J/k. Been a little busy. Between taking my oldest to school, making myself go to school and hubby to work, we've also been putting up our own website. My hubby designed it himself, and was even sweet enough to make me my own little portion of it. :) He's so sweet! But he's been working on it non stop for weeks now, hence why I haven't been writing, but I'll soon have a new website to share! It went live as of today, but there are still a few bugs that need worked out. I'll post the link as soon as it's ready!

Getting better

Thank goodness for antibiotics! After about a week of suffering from congestion, broncitis, and nausea I'm starting to feel better! Just in time to make up a quiz and midterm from last week, take an exam in chemistry lecture and start a new chapter on nuclear chemistry, take a quiz in chemistry lab, and write a speech. Talk about a super busy week! My oldest daughter also goes to her 2nd staggered day of Kindergarten. She loves it, and was quite angry with me last week when I picked her up 'cause she had to go home. She wanted to stay there! I guess it's a good thing she likes school, and she likes that she gets to go to school like mommy and daddy. :) Only a few more weeks left in this quarter, then I'm taking fall quarter off. I need this time to find a new school, my tuition is just getting to be WAY to expensive. I wrote about it in one of my earlier posts. Anyways, had to write something to let my readers know I'm still around and surviving the crud. :) I also put up a new link for providence. I love it there! You can listen to the podcasts once you get to the website, it's so awesome, and there's a GREAT environment there with something for everyone. On their last MANday night (a group of men getting together on mondays) they had baby back ribs. They're constantly doing cool stuff like that, and giving you ways to 'connect' with others. Check it out, and maybe we'll see you around!

Christmas is coming!!! AHHHH!!!!

Ok, I'm starting to sell my Christmas ornaments as of now. The Christmas ornaments I sell are hand made and beaded. The pictures are below:







These are just a few sample colors. I have alot of different colors, and these are made to order. If you're wanting some before Christmas, please order early to make sure they get delivered on time. I only accept payment through paypal. I do this because it protects both of our information. If you are interested please email me at rjblueyes@yahoo.com. Please include in the subject line 'Christmas ornaments' so I don't accidentally delete it. I get quite a bit of spam. Lol. Also include in the email what colors you would like.

I also make 'Patitudes'. Patitudes are pillows with attitude! These are also made to order, so please order early to give enough time to ensure they will be there for Christmas. I can do sport team colors, or just your favorite colors! My kids love these 'cause they're just the right size( I like em cause they're durable). I also make a mini version for potpourri, which is great for in the bathroom. (If you have small kids they can't get into it) Just email me at the email addy above with 'Patitudes' in the subject line and with which colors you would like in the email. When I get pictures of them I will post them here in my blog. Happy blogging!

Halloween stuff

Ok. I went to the store to get my oldest MORE school supplies. Yes, that's right, I said MORE. The reason for this is that my oldest and middle daughters decided to tear the boxes of the crayons, pencils, and kleenex to decorate my living room. They also proceeded to 'decorate' my walls, and to pour glue ALL over the floor. I went into my bedroom for not even 5 minutes to get ready for school, and they had done all that. To those who still ask me why I smoke cigarettes, this is why:






Anyways, I couldn't believe it when I walked into the store and was bombarded by halloween stuff. Are you kidding me? We just got the kids into school! Give us parents a chance to breathe. It seems like they keep putting this stuff up earlier and earlier every year. Soon it will be halloween, then time will fly, we'll turn around and it'll be Thanksgiving. Then before you know it, Christmas. Yep, Christmas is in 18 weeks and 2 days. Alot of you probably hate me for saying that, but it's true! Soon the madness will begin.

Something Erie....

Hello readers and fellow bloggers,

I recently have read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Anyone else read this extremely hard to follow book? We had to read it for our English Comp. w/Research class last quarter. If not for a handout our instructor had given, I doubt I would have even understood this Sci-Fi book. It was written back in the 1950's I believe, but you can kinda see how things are falling into place. Don't believe me? In this book he talks about how firemen are no longer our protectors from fire, but instead start fires. If a book, any book, is found in your house you are immediately turned in and your house burnt to the ground. I won't give too much away, just in case I have arroused your interest. Anyhow, what I was saying was, in this book they were talking about these giant walls that were like television screens. The book referred to them as 'The family'. Guess what panasonic has invented? A television so big that it actually takes up an entire wall! Here's the link if you don't believe me. See the picture for yourself. http://thehottestgadgets.com/2008/09/the-panasonic-life-wall-learns-your-preferences-001382

Pretty creepy huh? To those of you who have read this book, another little tidbit I found out. I used to live in Ohio, so I went to visit my family a few months ago. The libraries in Ohio are no longer being funded by the government. Many of them have to close thanks to the wonderful governor. Ted Strickland I believe. I don't know about you, maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but this is all a little close for comfort. What I want to know is how some guy back in the 1950's knew that someday we would have these giant 'walls' that were televisions. Now that's creepy.

What do ya think?

I would love any feedback of what you think of the new look on my blog. It took quite awile to do, but I think it was worth it. I just wanted something different than the run of the mill templates that blogger offers. Don't get me wrong, they do an amazing job making all of them, I just wanted mine to be different is all. Anyways, leave a comment and let me know what you think!

High Hits

Hello fellow readers and followers,

I have been kept quite busy this past week with, well, everything. Life just seemed to happen. I will spare you the details. :) The major things that did happen was I went to register for fall quarter and they wanted like 1500 bucks! I was like WHAT?! Where am I supposed to pull 1500 bucks from? So anyways, I'm gonna be switching schools. I think it's actually for the better though cause then I can get stuff in order, maybe do some cleaning before christmas. Notice I said MAYBE. And what else... oh, I took my oldest daughter to meet her kindergarten teacher yesterday. It's a new school, and it looks awesome. Her teacher was really nice, and my daughter really seemed to like her. I also discovered a new site called High Hits. I'm not sure if this site really works yet. I guess I will see. If it does I will post a link for it, but I want to make sure it makes a difference for referrals. If anyone has had an experience with high hits, good or bad, please put it on my comments for my blog. I, along with anyone reading, would like to know if this site is really legit and if it really works. Thanks! Happy Posting!

Forgot...

K, I forgot to mention this site called Cafemom. It's just for moms(sorry dads). They have TONS of groups on there for every age, intrest, etc. There is especially one I like. The group is called Deals & Steals. I get lots of free stuff from there all the time! I actually just got free food from Schwans delivery service. They are gonna bring my free food right to my door! How cool is that? If you're a mom, you need to check it out. Also, most people don't know this, but walmart also has TONS of free samples. If you go to walmart.com, put samples in their search box for the site. A link for free samples will pop up, click on it. All their free samples will pop right up. I've gotten deodorant, gum, asprin, etc. Right now they have samples for nicorette, playtex, carefree, bodycology, viva napkins, etc. And if you don't want all that spam email use mailinator.com. It's a free email address you don't have to register for or anything. You just make up a name and put it in front of @mailinator.com(i.e. rjblueyes@mailinator.com) They also have other domain names you can use such as mailin8r.com, and my personal favorite- thisisnotmyrealemail.com. This saves me alot of time deleting spam from my personal email. One more thing... I have cashed out for yet another mypoints giftcard for Cracker Barrel. Ymmmmmmm....
Here's the link to see the mypoints giftcard pic (I copied my screen):)

Mypoints:

Also, here's the link for that Amazom Giftcard I got from freeride, forgot to post it, sry....

Thaks for your opinions!

Lol, had to start off with the last comment I got on my font. Yeah, I know it's too big and oversized. But I like it that way so I don't have to squint to see my own writing. Thanks for the opinion though. Now for an update on my chemistry lab quiz. I totally bombed it. Everyone in lab thought it was going to be a quiz over the worksheets and procedures the professor had handed out, but it wasn't. He had made it seem that it was going to be over the worksheets when in fact it was like a quiz we would've had in lecture. That really stunk.... Anyways, I'm off this week from school, YEA! Catching up on school work though, the teachers assigned extra homework, ugh... hate when they do that! But in good news my 2 year old is getting somewhat potty trained. Today she decided to play in the toilet water with help from my 1 year old daughter no less(I know, it's pretty gross!), but at least the toilet was clean! This happened after all three daughters decided to enjoy a whole box of rice crispies for a mid morning snack. It was pretty fun sweeping it up 'cause you could still hear the rice crispies go "snap", "crackle", and "pop". The livingroom rug, couch, and chair were covered with them. But in a weird way they felt good on my feet. Like a mini foot massage. I think they actually made my feet softer, lol. Before I forget, thank you everyone for posting comments and reading my blog. I really appreciate it! Y'all come back now, ya hear! (lol, j/k)

Totally swamped!

Ok, I know it was my bright idea to take 4 classes this quarter, so I'm being punished. I am so totally swamped! I've got a midterm on Wednesday in Effective speaking, a chemistry lab test on tuesday--which I hope I don't blow myself up, and a quiz on Thursday in Medical law and Ethics. I feel like my head is gonna explode! Anyone have some good study tips?

Free sites

Ok, I didn't realize I haven't posted my fave sites on here before! Here's my favorite sites that I HAVE made money from. They are all free, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time. I'll post the links below.

Hits4Pay is an GPT site. You have your own inbox on thier site, so no SPAM! They pay you with paypal. You can cash out at $25.

DealsnCash is a site made by the same people from Hits4Pay. The only difference between the two is you can cash out at $30 instead of $25.



There is no cash out minimum for this site and they also pay through paypal.

I also LOVE bzzagent, mypoints, mylot, freeride, and moola.

Bzzagent is a site that you don't earn money, but they send you free products to try and use just for your opinion in return. Thus far I've gotten 5gum, Listerine Whitening Strips, Smuckers Uncrustables, and Clearasil makeup remover cloths to name a few. They also give you samples and REALLY good coupons to share with your family and friends. You can also earn mypoints points on this site.

Mypoints is a site you can trade points for money. Simply print coupons, click on emails they send, etc.

Mylot is a blogging/forum site. They pay through paypal.

Moola is a free gaming site. So if you're looking for a way to kill time at work(lol, jk) this is the site for you!

I just got paid from freeride today. I redeemed my points for a $15 amazon gift card.

I would post links to these last sites, but they are by invite only. If interested email me at rjblueyes@yahoo.com with your email addy and I'll send you an invite. Any questions are appreciated, please post them below.

I'm also a member of inboxdollars but I haven't recieved payment from them yet.

Long time

Sorry everybody! It's definately been awile. Well, I've moved again. This time to beautiful Knoxville Tennessee. GO VOLS!!!! It's definately warmer than Ohio. I definately like it though. God blessed us with another beautiful daughter whom we named Kara Nicole. She turned one on the 7th of May. Alyssa is going to turn 5! We had a pool party for her early. I think I got a head cold from swimming. I just can't believe she's going to go to kindergarten in the fall. Oi! I thought I cried on her first day of Pre K. Ha! I'm going to be at the door with my face pressed to the window when I take her to Kindergarten. I bet the teacher will have me labled as one of the "crazy" parents that keep their kids sheltered. It's so funny how parents can't wait till school starts again and then bawl like babies when they finally do go. Heck, I start crying just getting school supplies! She gets all excited about the new clothes, pencils, pens, crayons, and bookbag while I stand in the middle of the store crying. It dosen't take much to please a kindergartener, though they are quite picky at times.
