The Sewing Mom

I don’t know about you, but I find online auctions so addictive! And exciting! Sitting there waiting to find out if your bid is the winning bid, it’s tense, but fun at the same time! I’ve purchased and sold quite a few things at online auctions, everything from toys to books to collectibles. I even rely on auctions during the holidays when I can’t find hot items that are on wish lists, particularly items that are sold out in stores. What did we do before the Internet?

I also enjoy online games. I have trouble sitting and just watching t.v., I like to be doing something. I find I can sit with my laptop and play word games online while watching t.v. like Mah Jong or Word Whomp. My husband thinks I’m nuts, but I’ve noticed recently that he has started watching t.v. with his laptop as well! Hmmm, guess it’s not all that crazy now is it?

One thing I look for when going to an online auction or game site is if it’s user friendly. I don’t want to have to spend hours figuring out how a site works or how much it’s going to cost. I’ve never actually won anything online, but it would be cool to win a sweepstakes or even some free gifts like a Vespa, an I-Phone or a laptop! That would be so cool!

Even better would be to win a daily grand prize or cash prize or how about a plasma T.V. Making it even more interesting would be if the lowest unique bid was the winner. Sounds interesting doesn’t it? Sounds to me like it could even turn into a game show!  Stay tuned!

I’ve been caught up on the magical carpet sent to me by Annita and have been swept away. This magic carpet comes with 2 very special genies on board whose goal is to ward off evil and wickedness. I in turn will send this magic carpet to five of my fellow bloggers who may go to Mariuca for a full set of the rules.

I am sending the genies to:

LeAnn

Karen

Breezie

Lucel

Are you a person that picks up pennies from the ground or do you pass them by?  I for one pick them up, pennies add up in a hurry.  My daughter recently bagged all her pennies from the penny bank in her room and turned them in to the bank.  I couldn’t believe it but she had almost $200! 

Have you heard the news about the redesign of the penny?  This will be celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln and the 100th anniversary since the 1st Lincoln penny was introduced.  The new pennies will be out in 2009 and will celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s life.  There will be a total of 4 new designs.  The front of the penny will remain the same as it is now, the new designs will rotate and replace the current design on the back of the penny which is the Lincoln Memorial.

The committee overseeing this project is having trouble finding designs it likes and so this is still up in the air.  Here are a couple of designs being considered.
