A new partnership

by

If you read my other blogs you might have noticed that my blogs As the Garden grows and Tricia’s Musings are part of the Glam Network. I was invited into the network and accepted into their special advertising partner network.

One benefit of the Glam Network, other than my sites being listed on their sites, getting some extra traffic and occasionally having posts featured is that my contact there occasionally writes to members of the network with special offers. Sometimes it’s advanced news about movies or new products, big events that sometimes include celebrities or even other advertising opportunities.

A couple of months ago my contact wrote to me to tell me about a company that was looking for advertising partners. I responded and within the next few days I’ll enter into a special advertising partnership with this company.

Naturally this partnership is yet another way for me to earn a little bit of money. Hopefully it works better than some of the other things I’ve tried. I think it will since it’s a special partnership.

I don’t want to say which company it is just yet. You’ll know when it happens though. This company has some great items for the home, garden as well as clothing and fashion accessories. I do hope that you like the products as I’ll occasionally discuss items that interest me on this site and some of my other blogs.

Wish me luck?





We really need to replace our broken mailbox

by

I feel like a broken record. We need a new mailbox so bad and I haven’t managed to get out and get a new one. We’ve need a new mailbox for oh at least six months. The hinge on ours doesn’t work very well anymore. It’s noisy and stays open most of the time. When you try to shut the mailbox it almost feels like the lid is going to break.

I found a company that sells a number of different types of mailboxes online. They have everything from residential mailboxes to commercial mailboxes. We’ve got a small house and virtually no front yard so I need something that suits a small house.

at Mailboxixchange.com I really shouldn’t have trouble finding what I need. They’ve apparently got over 1500 mailboxes!

I’d love to get a mailbox that stands on a post, but as I said we’ve got a very small front yard and I don’t think that style would really suit our house or even our neighborhood. The mailbox we currently have is a wall mount style and I think that we’ll stick with that type if only I can find something that I really like.

I’ve barely scratched the surface browsing the site, but so far I like what I see as there’s some very nice styles of mailboxes. If you’re looking for a new mailbox visit the site and see if you can find something that suits your home.

Thousands of coupons to be found at the Deal Locker

by

If you’re on a tight budget I’m sure you have a keen eye for great deals. Even if you aren’t on a budget there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing you saved some money when you’ve made a purchase. Am I right?

If I am then you’re going to love the Deal Locker. This is a site where you can find coupon codes for tens of thousands of items. There’s also listings for savings at thousands of well known stores.

Considering that there are so many free online coupons and printable coupons listed at the Deal Locker it would be a shame not to visit the site before you begin shopping. Wouldn’t it be disappointing to find out after you’ve spent your money that you could have saved an extra 15%?

When you visit the Deal Locker site you can type in the name of the item or store that you’re looking for, or you can use the tabs across the top to search by store or category. It can take as little as a few seconds to find a great deal and begin saving money.

One thing that I really like about the Deal Locker is that it’s interactive. If you sign up for a free account you can add coupon codes that you’ve found on the internet and you can also rate coupons that you use on the site as to whether they worked properly or not. It’s certainly nice to search through the site and know that the majority of the coupons on the site have been rated by fellow users and that they are most often marked as having worked well.

As you probably already know Chris and I have been busy renovating our house. Soon … I hope … we’ll be thinking about purchasing new furniture and other home decor type of items to add that extra touch to our newly renovated rooms. So I decided to take a look at Deal Locker to see if I could find any Home Decor coupons or even some home improvement coupons and I found several coupons that I can use now or in the near future when the renovations are finished.

I was able to find Ace Hardware coupons and coupon codes for other well known hardware or handyman type home improvement stores, and home decor stores.

All in all I was quite pleased by how easy it was to find some coupons that I could use. I’m in Canada and yes there are listings for Canadian stores, US stores, as well as stores in the UK, Germany and even Australia.

Visit the Deal Locker. I’m sure you’ll be pleased by what you find. I know I was! I’ve bookmarked the site already.

New furniture and extra room for guests

by

I don’t have much spare time these days, but when I do have the time I occasionally visit online stores looking for furniture that might suit our house when we finally have all of our renovations finished.

Right now I’m thinking of what kind of furniture to get for our basement when we are finished renovating it. I’m not sure we’ll have room but I’d like to have a spare bedroom down there. Most definitely it will be a recreation room with a TV and at the very least a pull out couch for guests or if I ever get back to work, a place that I could sleep that would be cool during the day after I’ve done a night shift.

One of the sites I’m looking at right now is Century furniture. They have a very nice selection of household furnishings. Heck … I might even get a new couch for our living room and put our current couches and recycling chair in the basement. That could work too. Well except for the fact that our current living room couches are not pull out couches.

After living in such a small apartment for some many years and having sleep over guests drop by all the time I like having spare rooms (we do now) and if possible a pull out couch. The more comfortable sleeping room the better. I don’t like sleeping on the floor when I visit someones house – I will if I have to of course, so why should my guests?

Do you have a spare room or do you have a pull out couch that comes in handy when you have guests?

Turn a photo into a canvas wall hanging

by

I don’t know how many of you read my other blog Tricia’s Musings but I’ve been talking about a great company called Canvas On Demand on that site.

Why? Well I visited their site and discovered that I could use their service to have one of my favorite photos printed on canvas.

When I saw the site and read more about their service I thought to myself “Wow, getting wedding photos printed on canvas would make great anniversary gifts”, not only that, any kind of favorite photo printed on canvas would make a great gift for friends or family or it could be used in your own home.

So I uploaded one of my favorite photos and in less than 10 days they sent me my new canvas! Take a look:

Canvas on demand - Monarch butterfly

Isn’t that gorgeous? I’m thrilled!

The company is great too! They emailed me and kept in touch with me throughout the whole process. I’m very happy with their service and their product.

Now I just have to decide where to put my new canvas!
