Now on to a few personal stories:
After shopping her little guts out on Black Friday, Amy Hartung is now ready
to earn some money to help pay for that consumer addiction. She would love
to hire herself out to help you wrap your Christmas presents, make & bake goodies (she has a great Rocky Road fudge recipe), or do what she can to free up your busy schedule.
Susan Stewart is making blankets for 60 homeless children and could use your help! The company Susan works for gives a Christmas party every year for North County's Solutions for Change, an organization that helps homeless families. Susan usually makes blankets for all the kids as a gift. This year, the number of homeless children in need has doubled to 60. Susan is undaunted in her committment to still make a blanket for each child. If you can help in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated. She makes tied quilts.
Therefore she could use material, batting, yarn and anyone who wants to sew or tie. The blanket could be made of fleece. As an FYI, Joann Fabrics will apparently be having a sale on fleece this coming weekend (Dec. 3rd and 4th). There is a coupon in one of those weekly mailers as well. She needs the blankets no later than December 10th. She is making two sizes: crib
(46" x 34") and larger (58" x 44"). Anything close will do. Give her a
call if you're planning to help: 521-1620.
Rosemary Tobler is in the business of housecleaning ( for 24 years ) and is currently looking to expand her business in the North County area. She has great referrals---please contact her at (760) 431-9364. She will give one free cleaning based upon referrals.
Aletha Fulton is having a sale on the crystal or gemstone- jewelry-that she makes (amethyst, jade, quartz etc.). They have .925 stearling silver, which usually sells for 30.00-50.00.
If you don't have plans for this weekend, check out the attached flyer for the LDS Music Festival and Expo in Las Vegas and you'll receive a discount on your tickets. If you have extra money left over and still want to spread good cheer you're always welcome to leave me your credit card number as well. :)
Enjoy this beautiful day!

Free magazines!

Hi girls!
Great news......time for free magazines again! If you missed the opportunity last time, here's a second chance. There is a deadline, so if you're interested you need to respond quickly. My sweet friend in Florida sent me this note to explain to all of you freebie cynics:
Hello Everyone,
As many of you may know by now, the company I'm currently working for is
like a clearinghouse of magazines. Publishers contact our company to
increase subscription numbers on certain magazines. Magazine publishers make
their money on advertisements, not subscription sales. So, they call our
company to beef up those numbers to look more attractive to potential
advertisers. As a bonus to employees, we get a list of "no-remit" magazines. That means
we get subscriptions for "free". Here are the current
"freebies":
>
>Backpacker - 36 issues
>Bicycling - 44 issues
>Black Enterprise - 48 issues
>Blender - 40 issues
>Cargo - 20 issues
>Details - 20 issues
>Entrepreneur - 36 issues
>Family Fun - 40 issues
>Forbes - 104 issues
>Golf Digest - 36 issues
>Inc. Magazine - 54 issues

>Parents - 48 issues
>Shape - 36 issues
>Shape en Espanol - 36 issues
>Stuff Magazine - 48 issues
>Travel & Leisure Golf - 24 issues
>Western Interior and Design - 24 issues
>
>Email me at sa_sandstrom@yahoo.com with the titles you would like to
>receive along with the full name and mailing address to which each
>subscription should be mailed. Please allow 30-60 days for the first
>issue to arrive.
>
>Feel free to forward this to family and friends.
>I need these back no later than end of business Monday, 11/22.
>
>Thanks.
>Regards,
>Sherry

Enjoy!

www.wearsthebaby.com/mamabater.html (baby stuff)

You'll be asked to leave a credit card imprint for the price of the ticket in exchange for an hour of shopping at any of their stores inside the park.
At the end of the hour, return to get your imprint . If you purchased at least $20 in retail items, your parking fee is also reimbursed! Besides all of the regular Lego stores, there is also a clearance items tent where you can get some great deals on Christmas gifts or upcoming birthday party presents. :)
Here's an easy way to earn free stuff on-line.

magazine subscriptions

Hi girls!
Just a few things today....
Rosanne Barlow has a serger sewing machine for sale. $75, Bernette model # 234. In great condition, older but hardly used. Call 603-9366 for more info.
Susan Shupe from O-4 has an elderly friend (70ish) who lives in a condo on the beach in Oceanside and is looking for a roommate (old or young) to rent her extra room to help her with expenses. She would like to rent the room for $600. So if you know of someone looking for a room, please have them contact Susan at 967-9051.
Some of you asked about the free magazine deal, a bit skeptical that it was too good to be true. It actually WAS good AND true! :) Sherry is an old friend of mine who began working for a new company and she wanted to share a good deal with me and my friends (I have such nice friends, don't I!) When I asked her for more clarification on how it is we were able to get freebies, this is what she wrote:
Well, the place I'm working for is like a clearinghouse of magazines.
Publishers contact our company to increase subscription numbers on certain magazines. As I am sure you know, magazine publishers make their money on advertisements, not subscription sales. So, they call our company to beef up those numbers to look more attractive to potential advertisers. As a bonus to employees, each month we get a list of "no-remit" magazines. That means we get subscritions for "free". I just thought I would share this benefit
with those that I know. :-) If any of you are still interested I know she
just had here deadline for subscriptions. I'll let you know if/when she does this again so you can jump on it next time!
More steals and deals later....
Have a wonderful day!
