While I was searching online for something else, I had the luck to bump into this website called Stitch Alley that offers a wide range of free cross stitch designs. When I was still in school, I loved to cross stitch but I never know the correct way of doing it. So although my cross stitch handiwork looked fine in front, don’t even flip my cloth. You’ll see all those thread zig zagging!
Anyway, if you love cross stitch, you really should check out the designs that are available on Stitch Alley. Sure there are some designs that are for sale but for cheapo freebie lovers like us, we only aim for the free stuff, right? Hehehe!
Oh yes, let me know if you find these cross stitch designs up to your standard. Happy stitching!
My friend forwarded this photo to me the other day, saying it’s a sad day for tennis. It’s a photo of promising Romanian tennis star, Simona Halep, who declared that she would be going for a breast reduction surgery because the weight of her breasts is hampering her tennis play. Her fans, though, are crying foul, for obvious reasons.
People are very funny. While every other person I know wants to get a breast augmentation surgery, Simona Halep is blessed with naturally big breasts. What a lucky girl! If she isn’t a professional tennis player, she shouldn’t even go for a reduction surgery, shouldn’t even think about it!
I have seen my friends who underwent breast augmentations transformed not only physically but their whole personality changed. I think they are more confident of themselves and their self-esteem seems sky-high.
I too need to boost my self-confidence but I certainly don’t need the extra weight on my chest. However, I can do with a tummy tuck surgery since my tummy seems to grow bigger by the day and no, I am not pregnant! It’s all fat, unfortunately!
But knowing myself, I’m just all talk. I dare not go under the knife unless it’s absolutely necessary. A tummy tuck is certainly not a matter of life and death. I can still live with a little fat on my body.

Although I no longer keep a dog because of awful experiences in the past, I still love dogs, a lot. I always look out for dog freebies or samples and most of all, dog photos that will always bring a smile to my face. My friend showed me this photo of a dog smiling and I smiled along with him. So cute, right?
If you have a dog, you can enter him or her into this GREENIES competition where you stand to win One year of free GREENIES® products plus have the photo of your dog on the cover of The Bark magazine, Sept. 2010 issue. It would surely be a proud moment for any pet owner!
In any case, all entrants will receive a free trial copy of The Bark so even if your dog does not receive enough votes to win the competition, at least you won’t be empty handed!
No thanks to the recent economic downturn that dragged on for almost two years, the effect which many of us are still reeling from, a lot of my friends are still unemployed. The shocking thing is that many people confessed to using their credit card advance to live from day to day.
I have a friend who told me that he is very nervous about his mounting credit card bills. He feels as if he is trapped in a vicious circle of paying off his credit card bills and yet it never seems to end. How could it when he only pays the minimal amount while the balance is being charged an exorbitant daily interest rate?
I think my friend should consider credit card consolidation so that he is only faced with a single repayment at the end of the month. From what I understand, he may even enjoy a lower interest rate than what he is currently being charged.
If my friend would admit that he has a financial crisis on his hands, I would recommend him this free consumer credit counseling service which would surely help him manage his finances better. Not only is it free, it’s obligation-free too.
Undergoing consumer credit counseling is actually very common these days. There is nothing to be ashamed of. If it’s a positive step to take to enable one to get a good grip of his finances, why not, right?
