I have been crafting for many years. Some say I am quite good as I design as well. I have been told that I should start going to craft shows/fairs. My question is, how successful have they been for those that have participated in...

mikesgal4ever1999 I was thinking of having some lower priced items like in the $5 and under range but also a few mid price items as well as higher priced ones (like afghans, etc). I was also thinking of having a notebook with items I had finished but didn't have to show so I...

As with most people these day, money is tight. My children have birthdays coming up (ages 15, 17 6) and I have no idea what to get them or how much to spend. I don't have mega bucks to spend on each child, especially with the...

mikesgal4ever1999 Honestly, my 15 year old is the hardest person to please--she wants clothes (and she doesn't need any at all) that have those 'labels' in them and personally, I can't see paying $70 for a pair of jeans. I have tried the homemade gifts before and she doesn't...

mikesgal4ever1999 Jenny1015 you are so right--its the thought behind the gift and not the price. Often kids and adults alike forget that small thought. Coffeebreak you are right about those fad toys being out of style in a few months. That is true mostly. Honestly I don't...

mikesgal4ever1999 Yes the toys and trinkets get more spendy each year. Books are ALWAYS a good choice and my kiddos are definitely getting a book this year and a homemade bookmark from mom. I love the idea about the ornament for the tree. Each year they can look back and have...

mikesgal4ever1999 Yes I have to agree that xmas shopping is an art. I try to get the kids to tell me what they want or like each year but it continues to get more expensive--laptops, game systems, Kindles, iPods and the like. After seeing this, I know that I have a more...

I came across this website today. You get paid to post ads on your Facebook and Twitter pages. These are actually very interesting ads.. not the kind you typically get with other Paid to Tweet sites. Also, these ads seem to pay...

mikesgal4ever1999 My FB page is private and I can still post ads from mylikes. I have a rather large list (not as large as some though) on FB from games, etc. so many see my ads each day. I would think it depends on your friends list.

mikesgal4ever1999 I usually post other stuff on Twitter so that sort of thing doesn't happen. I use Twitter mostly for business purposes but I do like to break it up with quotes, videos, etc. Take today for example, I posted a quote and then a video (Finally Friday~George...

mikesgal4ever1999 Yes this whole thing is made from plastic canvas and yarn of course LOL I will do my best to keep everyone posted of the progress. I have had this pattern for several years. All of the fashion doll goodies are out of print from what I can tell, however I have...

Does anyone do plastic canvas needlepoint? I used to do it all the time, but I guess I burned out on it. I still like it, but don't have much time for it, it seems. Plastic canvas is a really cheap base product and it takes...

mikesgal4ever1999 Unfortunately I think many crafters have gone to doing those quick fast and in a hurry type crafts. Not many are doing the needlework crafts anymore. I know that as long as there are available supplies that I will continue as well. I agree that some really...

mikesgal4ever1999 I have to agree that the thought of what actually happened to those kids and their mental state afterwards was not pleasant but you are right...the story was soooo good. I read the book when I was in 5th grade I believe. My momma had a book club membership and...

mikesgal4ever1999 Families fighting are not pleasant. My oldest daughter is going through that right now with her father's family. Her father's mother passed last August and it was rough enough due to that. Then the whole family started fighting and it was all over 'things' and...

I used Plastic Canvas Design Studio to make the most of my patterns. Sometimes I just let my creativity flow though. I like to design patterns that have a theme that is hard to find in plastic canvas like Harry Potter, Carebears,...

mikesgal4ever1999 I haven't made a lot of patterns in plastic canvas. Sadly only a handful but I am hoping to dedicate more time to designing some. And yes, the program I use is version 2. Its a great, easy program. I have made some patterns for Care Bears and some that are...

mikesgal4ever1999 wow thats interesting and to be honest, I hadn't really thought about doing it that way with call centers and the like. I do try to remember to have my order ready for drive-thru and as I am going down the list of what everyone wants, I try hard to remember to...

mikesgal4ever1999 That reminds me of the sales associate who will POUNCE you from waayyyyy across the store and then when you tell them that you are fine, they STILL stay, breathing down your neck. And you are right--its a turn off to buy.

What version of Paint Shop Pro do you use? I, personally, use seven, although I've tried other versions such as 10 and 11, but seven just sticks with me as my favorite.
