How many actual readers are there out there?

Just curious as to how many of you actually read my blog. So, i'm doing a mega giveaway. Through this weekend I am giving away a very special ornament. My mother learned how to make these from her mother, and so on, so it is a very secritive family pattern for these ornaments. And if you have enough patience to make them, you deserve them. There is a picture below.


As you can see, they look beautiful on a tree, or if you like, you can even hang one in your car. I like to because it catches the sun so well and it just shines and sparkles. It looks amazing if you use it on your tree also, it catches the light from the christmas lights and it just sparkles.

So did I make you want one? I hope so, because you can get one pretty easily, and no strings attached. I will ship you your very own ornament and pay for the shipping myself! All you have to do is tell your friends! Yup, that simple. Tell them to follow my blog & follow me on twitter, post your name, and voila! you've got yourself a beautiful, even better FREE, ornament! That's all you have to do! Simply search for RJBLUEYES in the search box on twitter & follow me, next come back here(If you follow my blog you don't have to do the next part) and follow my blog, (do this part though) and put a comment under this post with your name. That's it, I swear!

The person with the the most posts with their name(including your friends following me on twitter and on my blog) wins this beautiful ornament. Want an extra bonus? It's a surprise! ;) So get on out there guys and spread the word!

Lazy days are gone...

No, this post is not being about lazy, nor have I been lazy. I really don't know where the title of this post came from, but it must be because I've had WAY too much caffeine and the fact that it is one o'clock in the morning.

Okay, I lied. Right now it is only 12:44. BIG difference there! Lol, anyways, I want to do a special week of posts, yes, starting today, tonight, whatever. So while all the early birds are in bed, night owls here is your chance! I want to do a special posting for Etsy sellers, advertisers, whateverelsers (like my make up name? yeah, I'm really tired) to catch up on all the months I've missed.

Have friends? Good. Have a Facebook page? Great! Have twitter? Even better! You are gonna need 'em. So if your friends owe you one it's time to call in that "ya owe me big time!". Believe me, it is gonna be soooooooo worth it!

What am I up too? Oh, nothing really. Just no good at all. ;) Read on my minions, read on....

Who wants a TON of traffic to thier specified site? (I do! I do!)

I will post in the morning afternoon and night everywhere I possibly can (where they won't criminally press charges for hacking into a web site, lol, jk. But really, I won't do that.) Facebook, blogger, you name it 'cause if I'm a member (there's hardly any sites where I'm not a member) It's soooooo getting posted. The only catch is that we are going to make this a little type of sweepstakes kinda thing, or a giveaway if you will.

You donate one small item(etsy) and in return I post all about your shop, EVERYWHERE. Meaning MEGA traffic for Christmas shoppers! I am only going to do this through Friday. So if you are interested use the contact button above and shoot me an email with a pic of the item you will be donating and sending to the winner, your links (facebook, twitter, etsy, etc.) that you want traffic to, and a number 1-12. The first four people to post a comment below will be the fortunate four. Good luck everyone!

What A Week!

Okay, between my garbage disposal, sprinkler head, sink faucet, and cable not working I haven't had much time to blog. To me this is saddening because it's my favorite thing to do!

I'm giving the heads up that I'll be featuring a lovely little shop on Etsy starting Monday, and I hope you all love it as much as I do. I'm not telling who it is, you'll just have to wait till tomorrow. :P

So my blog isn't going pictureless, I'm going to put a few pictures up of a few things I've recently posted on Etsy. I love putting pictures in my blog, it makes it more enjoyable and colorful than just plain text. I would've listed a new seller today, but that would be unfair to previous sellers I've had on my blog since I'd be giving this week's seller an extra day. So here it goes.








The above pictures are some new hair clips I've just listed, and some cute little berries that I thought would be cute in spring and summer projects. They've already been painted light happy color that remind us of warmer days (I can make some that aren't if you would like some like that). The clay and paint are non toxic. I have kids myself, so I always find myself looking for stuff like that.

Come back tomorrow to see our new seller. Show me some love, shoot me a comment!

Bye Bye Blogger?

Well, I guess the poop has hit the fan. As you all may already know, google owns blogger. Google is getting rid of the FTP publishing. NOT GOOD!! FTP publishing is File Transfer Protocol publishing. What this means for us as bloggers that use blogger or blogspot.com is that we won't be able to upload pictures, videos, etc. etc. The list goes on and on.

Posttwo.com has a free script code, but I'm trying to find out where it is and how I can get my hands on it. The script code they have will fix what google is messing up. When I get it I'll post a link for my readers too. Ugh, I'm REALLY getting tired of google.

I think alot of the reason that Google is doing this is becuase of that lawsuit they had recently. I think they got sued by viacom for using copyrighted content from viacom that users were using in their videos on youtube. So now Google is going way over the top while really ticking alot of people (including me) in the process.

Until the next time, blog on my friends, blog on.

Don't forget!

In a few earlier posts I've asked for some of your favorite items from your favorite shops on Etsy. I'm going to be turning this into a contest, and there will be prize money!!! BerryBlueCreations won our last contest, don't miss out on your turn this time! Just post the links from the shops in a comment below. The only rule is that you cannot use items from your own shop(s). Have fun! :D

Okay, those ads didn't work for me

I was trying out those ads at the top of my blog, and they're yucky. Sorry bout that, I was just seeing how they looked. Anyways, you won't have to worry 'bout ads for quite awile. I really don't like the flash ones, they're annoying and give me a headache.

I'll stop complaining now, and show you some more totally awesome stuff from YCAF's shop.
Here we go! :D

In the doghouse? Need to love yourself a little? Then get this beautiful love in a jar! You can't loose, there's chocolate inside!!! It's absolutely gorgeous with the rose on top. The rose accents it beautifully. You can make it yours for only $10.



I've also chosen this beautiful crocheted brown and purple hat to be featured. I think y'all will like it, and even more so because it's ON SALE!!! That's right ladies! This adorable hat is on sale for only $3!



Happy shopping everyone!

Want to make your blog work for you?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I just signed up for socialspark today. Well, this morning actually. So far I really like it. It's user friendly, and they have so many opportunities available! You can put ads on your blog and get paid per click. It's like google adwords, only WAY better. You can also get paid for posting a post (usually about 200 words) for advertisers.



The few clickable ads I've seen pay around thirteen cents a post. That is so much better than google ad words, and you can actually choose what goes on your blog. If you choose to post for an advertiser I've seen offers from around $5 to $25. There are even some that give you free stuff to try so you can blog about it! The best part? You can remain COMPLETELY honest and still get paid. I've included a few links below so you can check it out too.
