Friday Favorite Finds

It's Friday and I thought I'd share/spotlight a few things I found this week.

Etsy Find

One of my favorite bloggers Mandy of Mandipidy  has started a new esty shop featuring her own illustrated works. These are darling and I'm saving my pennies to get one soon. You'll have to check them out!  She hand sketches them, digitally edits and has them printed on textured cardstock to give them a canvas look! From the alphabet, sewing to coffee she has a great selection! Please check her out!

Blog find:

Have you ever checked out "the Crochet Spot"

She has lots of unique patterns and fun ideas for us crochet fanatics.

I loved this post from this week on " how to Crochet: a pop out flower stitch"

Borrowed image from Crochetspot.com

What better with spring around the corner to try a new technique with a flower!

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I want to!!

- This last find well is more on a personal note.

I love Netflix - recently my son has been engrossed in our latest cartoon find - Shaun the Sheep! I think it's funny and well for some reason he loves it.

It's claymation type- like Wallace and Gromit. Only there is no talking and it's BBCish!

It's really about stupid sheep and they sure to riverdance a lot.

They have a website with all kinds of fun games and activities for the kiddos. It may not be new to you but it was to me so I thought you might like to look :)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

I've ordered from this site many times I've found lots of unique pattern for sewing, crochet, bow making and so much more.

Earning extra pocket change

I just wanted to share more about my adventure in Monetizeing and Affiliate Programs I tried. You can read about ones I've tried previously this post 

I've not really tried anything new since then I just thought I'd go further into detail about the ones that are working well for me:

After another few week with MY LIKES I really do like it. I don't share every ad. Some of them are not worth sending but I take time to check them out before it do. As I said before I don't want to me spammy either.

They had an Add for Thredup.com this week and since I already used and stand by it of course I shared and made $5.32 because so many of  you clicked on it. I've made a total of $8.24. What I like is if you have a balance of $2.00 every Friday they will deposit your balance amount into paypal. I say it's worth a try if you're looking for a simple way to earn a few extra bucks. Here's a few I've shared recently!

Something else I like is I can post to my Facebook personal page, fan page or twitter so I can post relevant adds to the right audience. Check it out :)
