Free Craft Projects

Many of my friends, especially stay-at-home mothers, are really into craftwork. Heck, I too love craft but I can’t seem to find time to indulge in this hobby. Perhaps it’s because I am not too good that I get discouraged in creating something beautiful. Perhaps I give up too easily.

Also, my hands are constantly busy, as a blogger, so I do not see how I could find the time to hold needles and thread. 😀

In any case, this morning, which looking for something on the web, I chanced upon the website of Kreinik Manufacturing Co., Inc., a thread manufacturer.

On their website, you can find some pretty interesting project ideas that you could download for free and try to make them yourself. I am not sure what level of difficulty these projects are but there’s no harm trying, right?

Free Audio Books

I love reading but since discovering the internet, I no longer have the time in books. The problem is that besides the lack of time, as a blogger, my fingers are kept so busy, I could not hold a book to read.

However, I could listen to audio books, right? That was why I was so delighted to discover this awesome website called Audio Books For Free, which has an amazing collection of free audio books.

As I understand, these audio books are free. However, if you require these books to be of exceptional audio quality, you could pay for it. Also, if you require these to be on CD, you could purchase it off the website itself, or on eBay.

I think this is a great option because some people may want just free audio books while some would prefer quality audio books even if they have to pay for them. Me, just freebies, please. Awesome!

Acoustic Guitar Care & Playing Tips

Did you know, a long time ago, we had a guitar. My sister wanted to learn to play it so our dad bought it for her. Turned out that her fingers were too short, especially her pinkie, and that we should have bought a smaller guitar, for beginners.

The guitar collected dust in our room and was eventually sold. I did want to learn it but nobody put me through classes. I tried to pick up what I could from books but soon lost interest.

Now, I come across a site like Guitar Man’s Acoustic Guitar Care and Playing Tips and wished that I still have my guitar with me. No, I will not be buying another guitar just to learn it though, because I know that I will never have the patience, unless I go to music school and follow a fixed module.

However, if you have the discipline to learn guitar by yourself, or already know a little and just need extra guidance, do check out Guitar Man’s Acoustic Guitar Care and Playing Tips.

Digital Scrapbook Faves

I believe I mentioned before that one of the best designed blogs or websites are scrapbooking sites. While designing sites are also great looking, I prefer the colors used in scrapbooking sites. That’s my kind of color; girly, young, fresh and refreshing.

Last night, I remembered that I was supposed to help my sister look for some scrapbooking freebies and ideas. She has just started this hobby and has been doing traditional scrapbooking, which she says is a little costly.

That’s why I suggested helping her look for scrapbooking freebies on the web. There are many, and I have featured quite a few sites before but I don’t remember coming across this Digital Scrapbook Faves before. I absolutely adore the template of this site. It’s so sweet! Check it out! I feel like taking up scrapbooking as well but I definitely cannot spare the time at this point. SIGH!!!

Free Slots & Casino Games

I mentioned a couple of weeks back that one of my sister’s favorite casino games is the slots. To me, slots are an easy, no-brainer game. There is no skills or brains to use and depends heavily on luck, though I must admit that I was pretty surprised by the vide variety of slot games.

Today, I found out that there’s this website called Monkey Slots which has dedicated a page to casinos that have free slot machines where we could just play for free, though I am not sure if players would have the charge to win cash and other bonuses. I understand that this page is updated regularly so if free slots are what you have been looking for, you need not look further. Just bookmark Monkey Slots.

I can’t wait to let me sister know about Monkey Slots. I also found out about Tomb Raider Slots from Monkey Slots too and being a big fan of Lara Croft, I might just play this!

Besides up-to-date information on free slots, Monkey Slots are also tipping us off with free Blackjack games. Check out Monkey Slots if you are looking for free casino games. You don’t always have to bet real cash in an online casino, you know?

Free Templates & Software From Avery

If you have ever designed and printed cards and stationery from your home computer, I am sure you would have heard of this company named Avery. Today, which looking for something else, I chanced upon the website of Avery.

I thought that they are a fully commercialized website but was surprised that they have some freebies on their website too which I think would be fantastic for people looking for free templates and software for their card designing and printing projects, including craft work. These are very useful for home office businesses as well.

Take a look at the website of Avery and maybe download a copy of Avery DesignPro. It’s FREE after all!
