Tips

Spring break is here even tho you can't really tell as we are having temperatures in the lows 30's here in Florida. Not complaining too much tho, I know that in the states up north it's snowing :/ 

How do I relax? Browsing the web and specifically Pinterest! 

 I found few interesting things worth sharing in my opinion! 

 Ready for some tips? Here we go! 

 My first tip regards internet and money, oh yes! 

I found this interesting article on how to make money while browsing and do the things that you will normally do on line and basically working from home. I implemented some of the tips....well, I already own a few online shops, used Craigslist to clean up the garage and used few survey sites, but this gal knows a lot of them, some I never heard from! I suggest you take a peak and find the right fit for yourself. I used this down time to join as many sites as I could and some I like a lot, some I don't care for very much. 

Not sure I can keep up with ALL of them once my work days will start again, but hey, every little bit helps! 

 Like couponing? I'm trying to be super frugal, so I definitely love them, specially coupons for FREE products! If you're like me, you will love this list of companies that will give out coupon if you ask REAAAAAAAAALLY nicely! XO 

This other recommendation is more like an health tip about the many uses of raw honey and cinnamon. 

Did you know that these 2 ingredients combined can help your body fight most illnesses and even improve weight loss? I didn't, but Suzy Homefaker certainly does! 

I already tried the cold remedy on my daughter, it really worked and very fast! She improved by the very first dose, didn't complain about the taste or made a mess, plus I felt really safe giving it to her rather than use an over the counter medicine as she was miserable and I wanted to help her feel better, but really didn't want to give her chemicals. I, myself, am trying the weight loss remedy. I started yesterday and will keep updated if it really works. 

As Suzy suggest, use fresh cinnamon, the ground one that you found at the grocery store makes my mouth full of mouth sores...ouch! 

 The same goes for cream soups often called into recipes...I love using them, but I hate the chemicals in it! This recipe really helps in making your own, with ingredients that you already have home!

Hope you enjoy the tips I've found! Please let me know if you're interested in reading more of them or if you have some of your own!

Featuring: PurrPrints

Oh my, have I neglected my pour blog lately! Not good! But I'm finally here to introduce you to another amazing seller: PurrPrints.
As some of you already know, I joined the crew of Etsy Giveaways a while ago, but contrary to what somebody thinks, that adorable and useful blog it's not completely mine. I love it and cherish like mine, but the real fonder is Becca, alias PurrPrints.
She really know what she saying and doing about giveaways and I wanted to share with you some tips that she posted on her blog. If you have questions about giveaways or how to go about doing one, I really recommend you all to read her post.
And if you are a pro and would like to share your tips with us, please join this forum thread: we'll appreciate your feedback!

Kitty Love Print 5 x 5 - Customizable colors, sizes - $10

I'm taking the time to feature all the people in the Etsy crew, but wanted to start with her since she's really amazing and her work are awesome and I must say even tho her category it's really hard to sell, she's doing wonderfully!

Build your own Pendant. - $18

In her etsy shop you'll find prints of different dimensions, cards, pendants, magnets and ACEO all with a cat-theme!
I personally love cats and I find her style very elegant and chic, yet really colorful and playful, don't you think?

Enjoy knowing Becca a little better from her profile:

I love cats and ink, and I never agreed with the idea that all cat artwork must look like mass-produced cracker-barrel-style kitchiness. I use a combination of hand-drawn, digital, and print techniques to produce my range of work; I also create cat-free artwork, viewable in the "art without cats" section of the store (but shh, don't tell my kitties I'm not always drawing them).

Though etsy is my main love (I adore handmade!), I do have shops at cafepress and zazzle as well to sell items I simply can't make yet on my own. You can visit those by going to http://cafepress.com/purrprints and http://zazzle.com/purrprints

I'm also an eager blogger who always drops back in on commenters and EntreCard droppers; you can see my musings on cats, art, crafts, and occasional random asides at http://purrprints.blogspot.com.

Teams I'm an excited member of:
*Etsy for Animals*--I periodically donate items to their charity shop at http://etsyforanimals.etsy.com

NOTE FOR SILK-SCREENERS: I'm also hoping to find a fabric artist on here who might want to partner with me on turning my designs into pillows--I know a few places that would like to sell them, but I'm hopeless as a silk-screener!
