One Of A Kind Shirts

Posted By Twyla on February 9, 2008 @ 3:22 pm

My cousin is managing a print screen company that creates custom T shirts. They create them in large quantities, as well as offering the service to just make one, if that is what the customer wants.

I like the idea that you can design your own t shirt and then go into the store and have it made up. It is a little bit costly, but it is so unique to have a one of a kind t shirt, that you can be absolutely guaranteed that you will not see anyone else in. I thought that this was a brilliant idea.

This past Christmas, my children all got gift certificates to the make your own t shirt store. I thought it was such a good idea for them to get their own artwork on a shirt. And, what a great keepsake that will be later on in life. I have to admit that I am completely sold on the store and we are now working on designing a shirt for Grandma for Mother’s day.




The Time Has Come: Renovating the Bathroom

Posted By Admin on February 8, 2008 @ 8:29 pm

A couple of months ago, my wife had suggested that we could do a bathroom renovation since ours was getting a little old.  Sure, I don’t really like the flower print wall paper, or the chipped tub that is rusting, but it has served us well.  Since we have been doing a little better financially lately, she told me it was time.

So, we have been looking online for discount bathroom vanities.  There have been some great deals, but so far my wife and I cannot agree on what we want.  The problem is she wants something girly, whereas I want something a little darker.

With a lack of consensus, we decided to find a set of shower doors and shower stall to replace our current bathtub.  This will be the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, so we will quite enjoy having a shower, instead of the weak shower head we currently have, we will be getting a stronger one.  Also, we have been getting sick of shower curtains - we have always ended up with water on the floor.

We still have a bit of shopping to do before we can do our bathroom remodeling.   But, as it is coming together, I can see the future: we will have a nice bathroom.




An Extended Holiday

Posted By Twyla on @ 1:00 pm

My cousin went to Europe for a six week vacation and didn’t end up coming home for almost four years. He ended up getting a work visa and staying. He started out working for a cheap car hire Portugal company and he loved it so much that he thought he would see more of Europe this way.

He worked there for a year before he moved on to drive for a cheap car hire Greece company. He loved this one most of all and he stayed there for two years, much to the dismay of his mother, and me, as she thought I could be his replacement and she drove me crazy.

After that he moved on to work for a cheap car hire Austria company. He stayed there for only six months and then decided he better come home for awhile before his mother ended up disowning him. He does plan to go back permanently and I am considering this as well.




Getting Ready for Disney

Posted By Twyla on February 7, 2008 @ 9:10 pm

I am doing a little bit of online research regarding Orlando car rentals. We are planning on taking the kids there for Christmas vacation this year and I am trying to tie up all the loose ends, so we can just go and have a nice holiday. The hotel is booked and the Disney tickets are already ordered.

I did a search on car rentals Orlando and I was surprised at how many had been booked for this time period already. It made me a little bit crazy imagining the lines we were going to be standing in at the amusement park. But, I guess that is what happens when you go over Christmas vacation.

I did manage to secure an Orlando car rental and have got a confirmation number. We ended up having to book an SUV, which would not have been my first choice, but it will get us where we need to go and that is all that matters.




Addicted to Scrapbooking

Posted By Twyla on February 6, 2008 @ 9:02 am

I have just joined a group called addicted to scrapbooking. It is quite amusing, as my husband jokes that I am part of some cult. I can’t help it, though. I love to scrapbook and I think I am pretty good at it. So, you can imagine how happy I was to hear about the great deals on Canadian scrapbook supplies.

Scrapbooking is a very expensive hobby and so I am pumped when I find good deals. There wasn’t a lot available for scrapbooking supplies Canada, so when I find a good site, it is like Christmas. In fact, I think I will but my own Christmas presents here.

I think scrapbook supplies Canada online is a relatively new thing. I found some great websites with some great deals in the States, only to find out that they don’t ship to Canada. It broke my heart. Yes, that is how much I love to scrapbook. I would say, besides my husband and kids, it is my third true love!




Hamsters on Submitedge.com

Posted By Twyla on February 5, 2008 @ 3:12 pm

The other day, I was writing about hamster care for my daily article submission. I always try to write about things that I am knowledgeable about, and since I have had hamsters my whole life, I thought this was a good topic for me to write about.

I know that writing articles has really helped with me SEO. It has made such a difference that even I am amazed. And, it takes a lot to amaze me. Promoting my sites has been going very well and I am learning so much, both by promoting and by writing different articles.

In my articles, I always have a one way link back to my website and I find that this has been really effective in driving traffic back to my site. It is a learning experience for me, but luckily, I am a fast learner.




Buying Incentives for Truck Buyers

Posted By Twyla on @ 1:50 pm

I was interested in helping my boyfriend purchase truck covers and was looking at different brands available and where to best find them. He owns a fairly new truck dealership and was thinking about throwing a truck cover in as an incentive on the purchase of a new vehicle.

I was really impressed by one brand called Attitude Hitch covers. They were nice looking and of really good quality. I thought they would be a big drawing card for purchasing through our dealership. I wanted to do some more pricing, but I thought I would order one for his truck anyway.

Another brand I was quite impressed with was the Budge truck covers. They were nice, as well. I liked the others more, but it was totally a matter of taste and my boyfriend actually preferred the Budge. So, in the next few weeks, we will be able to make a decision on what we are going to do and if we will run this promotion.
