Say It With Virtual Flowers

I came to know of this site from a friend who told me that he will not have time to send out gifts to his friends who are living overseas so virtual flowers will have to do. I didn’t know what sort of virtual flowers he meant until I checked out the site and virtual flowers are actually virtual cards, or ecards, with pictures of bouquets of flowers on the card.

Personally, even if I do send out an ecard or virtual flowers, I would still want to follow up my card or virtual flowers with a REAL card or even gift. I know that it’s the thought that counts but then I would still feel bad about it, especially if this person sent me something as well!

Talking about cards, I need to get down to sending them out before the week is over or they will not reach in time for Christmas!

Win An Autographed Copy of Thunder Moon

If you are looking to win a free book, frankly, there are many authors that run monthly contests, BUT there are not that many who are willing to open up their contests to the world. I was delighted to note that author Lori Handeland’s monthly contests have no country limitations and I checked the winners’ list and true enough, I see winners from Australia, Canada, Finland and even South Africa!

This December, Lori is giving away an autographed copy of her book, Thunder Moon. To enter, just answer a very simple question, that comes with a hint and which you could find the answer to somewhere on her website.

Closing date for this contest is midnight (USA EST) 31st December, 2007. If you missed this, don’t worry, Lori will have a new contest come January, 2008!

Good luck!

Play Crossword Puzzles Online

Do you like crossword puzzles? I do but I am afraid of getting addicted to the game because I cannot spare the time. I used to cut out crossword puzzles from the Sunday papers but with the internet we no longer have to do that. Just go to websites dedicated to crossword puzzles and start playing.

Clutu is a crossword puzzle site that we can generate a puzzle and play on our own or invite friends to play with us. We can also open our puzzle so that other puzzle players on Clutu can join in.

There is an option to make the Clutu generated puzzle competitive too. I have yet to play on Clutu but I just may start now that I have more free time on my hands!

DigiScrapping Freebies

If you are wondering why there is a lack of update on my blog, it is because I have discovered a new hobby: digital scrapbooking! I don’t know if I could do it because I am not a creative person but I really like looking through these sites and have found a gold mine of digiscrapbooking freebies!

Digital Freebies is one of the many sites that I discovered recently that allows members to download digiscrapbooking freebies every month and purchase archived freebies if they have missed the open freebie.

Another thing that I have been busy with is looking for sweepstakes on the internet. That’s how I get content for my freebies blogs, you know? And I’ve been busy exploring home based business opportunities. No choice but to look for new revenue streams!

Till my next goodie …….

Bling Your Web Pages

When you see the name of this site, Blingy Blob, you will know at once that this is a bling bling site that could enhance your social networking profiles. You know how some people love adding these things to their MySpace profiles?

Well, I never did anything to my profile but it does not stop me from using the glitters and other tools here. Once you get the codes, you can embed them on any webpage you like.

Actually, Blingy Blob is not the only site that offers these enhancements but most of the other sites will annoy you with pop-up and pop-under windows when you first access their site. Bah.

Anyway, enjoy this!

Win Nokia N810

If you have read one of my posts on UMPC, you would know that I am looking for one but they are currently so expensive that I would feel guilty if I were to buy one. So I thought to myself to check if there’s any contest that is offering a UMPC as a prize. True enough, I came across Forumer's Contest Info: Win Nokia N810 Contest.

I have read though the instructions and I will give you the short of it. Just mention that it is The Forumer’s 4th birthday anywhere on the internet. You can post it on your blog, website, social network boards, forums and just about anywhere and you will have an entry for each site that you posted your message, with the two magic words, Forumerâ„¢ & birthday. Remember to keep the link to your post so that you can enter them into a special contest box.

The good news is that this contest is open worldwide and should you win this sweepstakes, your prize will be shipped to you. So what are you waiting for? Inform the internet world of Forumer’s 4th birthday.

Download Vegetarian Recipes

Earlier on in this blog, I have featured a few websites that gives free vegetarian recipes. I always thought that it would be a great idea to go on a pure vegetarian diet for a couple of days every week, just to give our system a break but I am not disciplined enough to see it through. It is also difficult to stick to a special diet individually when the other family members need their meat intake lol

Anyway, here is another website with allows us to download vegetarian recipes. On Vegie Delights, an Australian website, we can download selected recipes or download them all and create our very own collection of vegetarian recipes in this downloadable cookbook.

To be able to download the cookbook, though, we will have to provide our personal particulars like name, age, email address and also let them know how we heard of them. You can also opt in to their mailing list.
