online shopping -ebates

    So I cant drive, (spinal stenosis has made my feet numb) so I do a lot of shopping online. I joined Ebates .  almost anywhere you shop you can get a percent back from Ebates.  Even if it's only one percent, it adds up.  you were going to shop anyway and get nothing!  When I joined I got a ten dollar bonus.  I have already received a check.  Ebates also has a good referral program, fifteen person you refer.  (see page for rules)

     Ebates is really easy to use to.  There is an ebate button you install in your browser when you shop if they have a discount, and I have always gotten one it pops up. you click on the discount, shop as usual.  Whatever percent Ebates told you that would give you ,x what you spent on the site = money you make on ebates.

Ebates pays every 3 months, if you have made five dollars.  To see full rules.

Auntie Bree:     I'm a retired nurse with a lot of time on my h...

Auntie Bree:  About Me   I have always loved doing crafts.  when other kids were taking dance and other lessons....I was taking ceramics lessons.  My mother had me enrolled in several crafts of the month clubs.  I can't remember never crafting.  My mom n granny always crafted, and my family is very gifted musically/artsy.
    I could never list the types of things I have done. anywhere from doing feather n ink tats, cake decorating,  jewelry, and bob ross style painting to building a closet.     
     I love carpentry, I can't build a house, but I can fix it up.  I built the cabinets and built most of the inside of my mom's home in Vermont,  I love working with wood.
     I started making clothes for myself at about 16 cause I was interested.  Later on, in life I had to make my own clothes and uniforms cause I had gotten so fat I couldn't find clothes to fit me.
      My other hobby is working out/dancing/weightlifting.  I always loved dancing.  My Two childhood dreams were to be a nurse or a ballerina.  My mom always bought me ballerina slippers growing up and I tried but I was a big girl....
    5 years ago I got divorced.  Changed my life totally.  first time I had totally been on my own cause my mom had passed before the divorce, and my daughter, go married.
       I started working on myself.  I got hooked on working out.  It helps me so much with arthritis pain I've had since a teen.  I usually don't have much pain as long as I'm working out! Plus it makes me feel good.  I'll be glad when it warms up so I can get out and walk again!!!  Hope you enjoy getting to know me!

        I've heard of Pinterest for along time.  Share n save many of the recipes.  Never really got hooked on it.  One day someone shared a DYI wire jewelry bracelet from Pinterest on my face book feed. I clicked on the link. When I Landed on the site, there was 18 Christmas gift ideas under 5 dollar, you can make from things from the dollar store.  Wow!  Lots of cool ideas , I got hooked on the jewelry.
     I have always liked to make jewelry.  these are some of the bracelets I have made (and worn) in the past.
