Me at the confernce in the hat I won

I WON, I WON

I am so excited. I won one of the prizes that the generous sponsors gave at the casual bloggers conference. My prize box included: Memory Mixer software and a $30 gift certificate from Memory Mixer. I can't wait to try it. I talked to some people that took their class and I think it will be a great benefit for my blogs, websites and presentations. memorymixer.com Next in the bag were some gifts from JBK Pottery. One was a Pot Minder. I have tied these before you put it in your pot and it will not boil over. There was also a Brown Sugar Saver. I have also used one of these before. You put it in some water for a few minutes and then put it in brown sugar, marshmallows or cookies and it will keep them soft or resoften them. I appreciate that it makes things last longer. That helps me because with only two of us at home, and we eat out a lot, we need to lengthen the life of the food we try to reduce waste. jbkpottery.com That's not all there was. There was a necklace with interchangeable center jewels. What a unique and fun necklace to own and wear. It came in a pretty tin case that looked like a mirror compact. Very classy! kameleonjewelry.com Maxi wares provided a camera strap with Moxy. I saw a lot of the women at the conference with these fun modern straps. I even had a camera with me to put it on. moxywares.etsy.com I have to say on of the most exciting prizes in my prize bag was a fantastic hat. It is black with gray cording. I love wearing hats. coveryourhair.com was the donor of this prize. I want to thank all the sponsors and donors of these prizes. I had a great time at the blog conference and winning was just the icing on the cake.

Casual Blogger Conference

I am at the Casual Blogger Conference learning more about blogging. Julie McDonald is a great teacher. She is very good at creating cute and interesting blog backgrounds she runs leeloublogs.blogspot.com. I am excited to learn about the design part of blogging. I learned to use feedburner.google.com for subscriptions for your news letters. It was very easy to use and collects your subscribers and emails out your newsletter. She taught us how to use madmimi.com to make our newletters. These are great sites with awesome features.

Excited for Warm Weather

So excited to have the pool open and heated for the summer. I can finally do the exercise that I love. Even our baby grandson went swimming.
