Check Out the Great Deals on Downloads at Amazon!













Just wanted to share a great deal that I have come to love!  Amazon releases $5 mp3 downloads every once in awhile, and I found some great ones today!  Make sure to check out the entire list because they have a total of over 1,000!  Most of these are entire albums for only $5!  You can download right after purchase, so no waiting for any shipping, etc.  What a great deal!
*Just click on one of the Amazon links to see all the music available!

Nobody Wants $50+ in Free Home Decor???!!!

So it's MEGA SWAG BUCKS DAY! Each Friday brings the chance to earn lots of extra Swag Bucks! No matter where you live, you can earn free stuff even faster on Fridays!

Last Friday I announced a mini contest that you could enter just by signing up for Swag Bucks here.  I'm guessing that not giving you a pic of what you could win didn't make it very enticiting because I've only had a few people take advantage of the offer!  So I'm posting a pic this time of the $50 in BEAUTIFUL home decor items you can win for yourself or use as gifts!  This collection includes a great wood, tin and elevated lettering "Friendship" sign, one chocolate and sage chunky candle holder, a pillow, cute striped tablerunner and a cool chocolate-colored wrought iron and glass lantern.  This contest is being extended for a few more days, and I think I'll pick a winner on Tuesday.  If we have more than ten sign-ups, I'll pick TWO winners!  How's that???!!! 

So why should you want Swag Bucks? That's easy! Swag Bucks are like online cash that you earn just for making your internet searches either through the Swag Bucks tool bar or through the search box on the Swag Bucks website. Those reward bucks can be redeemed for all kinds of prizes. I've mentioned before that my favorite is the Amazon.com e-card that you can use for online purchases. Those will add up to big savings at Christmas when I share all the Amazon deals with you!

So what are you waiting for? Just get started by starting your FREE account here (with 30 free Swag Bucks to start)! As an added bonus, I'm going to give someone a great home decor gift pack valued at over $50! You'll earn one entry for getting signed up with Swag Bucks through the links in this post. If you've already joined through my referral link, don't worry! You're entered! Swag Bucks keeps track of everyone who sets up their account, so your entry will be applied automatically!
A few details:
*You can have a Swag Bucks account for each email if you want. When you refer someone who joins, you earn one point for each point they earn! So sign yourself up, then get a spouse, adult child, friend or family member signed up with your referral link. You'll double your amount of Swag Bucks!
*Swag Buck redemption is a piece of cake! You can browse rewards on the site and choose what you want!
*Just by doing your regular searches, you'll earn an average of 30-50 Swag Bucks per day, and that adds up fast!
*Email me any questions or post them in the comments, and I'll get right back to you!
