As some of you know I decided to participate in a very involved swap on Craftster where we planned to swap 78 or more items, most of them hand crafted. Well the time has finally come to show off the rewards! Here are my boys opening up some of their goodies.

We had a simple little gathering at our house for Sean's 29th birthday. The weather was very very cold! But my sister and Dave and my parents braved the roads and came anyway! We had oven baked burgers. (best recipe ever!!!!!!) and chocolate cheesecake. Papa as usual had a good time goofing off with his grandsons.
P.S. I found this great set through the dkMommySpot give aways! Check out http://dkmommyspot.com/livingplaying-plantoys-wooden-fire-engine-giveaway/ for a really cool wooden fire truck! Contest ends Dec 6th, but she often has other great giveaways!
ok so I am very skeptical of making money online but i happened to try a few things lately and I thought I would share:
Absolutely the easiest I have found so far is over at youdata.com they actually pay you weekly and I am amazed to already have a balance transferred to my paypal account. They require an email address and a cellular phone # capable of getting text messages. You do have to give out quite a bit of personal info, but hey i figure my credit is already screwed and I have nothing to hide. earned so far: $5.55 I have only been a member for a few days so very cool! I don't expect to make a whole lot with this but so far it is easy to use and i have actually seen results!
greenfieldonline.com has supposedly earned me $7.00 but I let the rewards expire. I think they require a min balance of $5 and send you a check. You might be able to get your money through paypal now. This requires you to fill out surveys. Some surverys do take a considerable amount of time and the ones that pay you money are few and far between. This is definitely not a get rich quick scheme. you may never see any money, but then
might. They also offer entries to various cash sweepstakes
something a little more promising if you like to write is Ciao.com New orginal reviews net you 25 cents each and quality reviews are supposed to have a chance at splitting $2000 a month. I joined during a promotional time and earned $5.46 so far. If you decide to join use this link Ciao and I could get a few more cents here and there. (I'm BlueTourmaline) You also get a few cents for people reading and or rating your reviews. you have to request payment and they only pay once a month to to your paypal account I believe.

So earlier in my blog I posted pictures of the little dotee dolls I made. Here are the ones I received! I love love Craftster!!!!
This is in my opinion a perfect mini treat for me and the kids!
Microwave Dark Chocolate Brownies
3 Tabs butter or margarine melted
3 Tabs Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
1 egg
1/6 cup of flour ( I eyeball half or less of a 1/3 cup measure)
1/4 teas vanilla
1/8 teas salt
Melt Butter in Microwave, stir in cocoa powder. Add sugar, egg and vanilla and beat well. Stir in flour and salt.
We microwave ours for 1 1/2 minute to 2 minutes. Your microwave may need more or less time. Brownies will be set in middle and maybe a little moist on the sides. If you add less flour the recipe is more fudgey
Theoretically 6 servings, but we scarf it!
If you sneak your kid's koolaid, whitening toothpaste will remove the koolaid smile evidence!
