Links I loved (Food, a craft, controversy and a household tip)

July 24, 2010

OK, so…things have been busy and I haven’t done this–but I still want to, I love the idea of spreading the love!! This post is comprised of links to blogs/sites/ideas that I have found and love…and want to share with you!

A candied pecan recipe that not only sounds divine-but easy too!

Not sure when I’d use it but it’s cute–how to make a pinwheel garland!

How to get permanent marker off wood. Genius really-and great for moms/dads!!

Kinda pricey–but this is a muffin pan to make little zoo animals!!

If you do (or want to do) product reviews, are a brand ambassador, etc. read this post.  This had quite a few people in an uproar.

How to make a Starbucks Mocha Frappucino. I haven’t tried this yet, but plan to!

Make your own sweetened condensed milk.  Great for times you don’t realize until too late that you’re out!  I plan to try this soon as well.

Thanks so much for the shout out the my Pinwheel Garland. I’m so glad you liked it. It was lots of fun to make, it would even make a cute birthday decoration!

Hey, friend! ;0)
Love this post … always good to share the love! Speaking of that, thanks so much for coming by and commenting on my TMC Featured Blogger post! I was really surprised to get that email from Heather! Too fun!

Read the article about the product reviews (I’m finally wading into that arena). I do think expecting no compensation is pretty ridiculous. If you seek out quality, honest bloggers, it shouldn’t be a problem. Good information, though, as a whole.

Tried to link up to Facebook Friday yesterday from my iPhone (we were on the road) and I kept getting an error message. I’ll get in on it soon — Looks like it’s really taking off!

Melinda,

It seems everyone has a different take on product reviews and no matter what the stance most feel pretty strongly one way or the other. The concept of the article seemed ridiculous though…but–you get what you pay for. Some companies will take his advice, some won’t. Some people will get good representation for free and others will have to pay.

Sorry you had trouble linking up–someone else tried to put my button up and broke her blog somehow!! {I need to see if she got that fixed!} I hope it does take off…I see people ask all the time–it just made sense!

I am so excited to make the mocha frappucino! This recipe probably doesn’t even have half the calories as a Starbucks one. :-)

I was recently asked to be an ambassador to a company. Its a cool company, so of course I said yes. At some point I’d love to be compensated, but I think that I still need to grow a little before I get to that point.

Then there’s the whole problem with not knowing how to charge companies! That’s been a headache of mine for a while, so I just don’t.
