Earning Money

Yesterday I received my second check from Inbox Dollars. It lacked a few cents totaling $37.00. My first check was for around $33.00. It's a good feeling when I get that check in the mail for doing basically nothing. Mostly I just click on emails. They are only worth $.02. Yes I said $.02, but it doesn't take any time at all to do it. While I'm checking my email everyday I just take a few seconds to open up the emails sent to me from Inbox dollars. There are many other things on Inbox dollars you can do that will earn you much more money. Such as shopping, viewing videos, tasks, or signing up to be on companies email lists. I have shopped through the different sites Inbox Dollars has listed on their site two or three times to buy stuff that I was already going to buy anyway. When you do that they may give you anywhere from a $1.00 to $15.00 or more depending on what it is you're ordering or subscribing to. I don't buy anything online without either going through Inbox Dollars, Big Crumbs, Mypoints, or one of my other favorite sites first. That way I get a discount and they put the amount of the discount in my account. It's like extra money that gets put in your account for doing the same thing you would be doing anyway. It adds up and it's fun, like a surprise! I'm posting a picture of my check I received yesterday so you can take a look at it.


There is a link to Inbox Dollars on the side of my blog page if you would like to give it a try.

My First Pottery Pieces

I started pottery classes several months back. It has been a lot fun, but I dragged out what was supposed to be a 4 week class and made it a 3 month class because of my chronic pain issues. Anyway, last week I called up Ms. Lynn Koning, the instructor, and asked her if I could come pick up my pottery pieces. The last time I was there I glazed them. I enjoy the glazing and working with the clay on the pottery wheel the most. The smoothing down of the pottery, not so much! Ms. koning fired my pieces in the kiln after the glazing so I was just waiting to pick them up. I was excited to see how they turned out. I was proud to say they turned out pretty good for my very first time. Every time I look at them I feel proud knowing that I made them myself. I brought the home and served condiments out of them for the tacos I made for dinner the next night. I also made two platters using the slab roller instead of the wheel the last time I was there that are in the process of being fired now. I will post some pictures of them when I get finished with them but for now I am posting some pictures of the very first four pieces I made.
