WeReward – Earn Money for Doing What You Do

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

IZEA has done it again! The company that created SocialSpark and Sponsored Tweets has put their creative minds together once again to develop their latest offering WeReward.

Chops

WeReward utilizes the latest, and one of the most popular pieces of technology, the iPhone and has its own app. The concept is really very simple and I’m surprised they didn’t think of it sooner! Simply visit iTunes to Download the App onto your iPhone, link the app to your Facebook, Twiiter or FourSquare account and then start earning money!

Earning money is easy because you visit places in your area that you’re probably going to anyway, restaurants, shops, etc., do a quick review, upload verification (i.e., a photo of you trying those new hot wings) and submit. Waalaa! You’ve just checked in and earned yourself some money. You can also earn by looking up what others are saying. Seriously, what an easy way to earn extra dollars! Finally, when you’re ready, cash out and your money gets deposited directly into your PayPal account.

For more information, please watch this short video and visit WeReward.com for all the details of this fabulous new program.

Four Foods on Friday #100

I realize Val did this meme at Christmas, but I’m so far behind and hate that I’ve been missing Four Foods on Friday.  So, here are the questions posted by Val and my answers.

1. What did you eat yesterday? (Christmas for some of you.) Yesterday, I had Special K for breakfast, leftover pizza for lunch and a turkey noodle casserole for dinner.

2. Do you have any food traditions for Christmas? Cookies, cookies and more cookies!

3. What’s your favorite holiday leftover? Can I still say cookies? It’s really the only time of year I can count on homemade cookies! :-D

4. What food do you always wish you had more of after the holidays? chocolate and cookies!

Be sure to check out Val’s site From Val's Kitchen, she has so much useful information and hosts my favorite meme!

Decorating For the Holidays – A Blog Hop

Click banner for more info!

Last year I decided I wanted to utilize my sewing skills to create items I could use in decorating my home for the Christmas holiday. I had discovered an applique/quilt designer by the name of Nancy Halverson and I really enjoy the designs she creates and decided to give it a try.

I began by purchasing fabric and the pattern book, “The 12 Days of Christmas”.

From the numerous patterns in the book, I chose to make the “Countdown to Christmas”. These are individual quilt blocks created along with raw edge applique. I prefer the raw edge for decorative blocks, mainly because it is a faster applique technique (I don’t have to turn under the edges!). My sewing machine has a blanket stitch, so I am able to do most of the stitching by machine. I’ve added the loops to each block in order to hang them individually.

The completed project appears on the shelves in our family room, near our Christmas tree and I change the number panels each day as we “countdown to Christmas”!
