Admit One Shadow Box

Today I am here to talk to you about one of my own creations, an Admit One Shadow Box.  This one was a lot of fun to make and now hangs on my wall where I am able to deposit each ticket stub into every time I see a movie or go somewhere a ticket is involved.  I made it after my boyfriend and I started dating a year ago so I use it to put ticket stubs from things we have done together.  I have seen pictures for it on Pinterest (which is how I got the idea) but have never actually looked at a blog or anything for it so I have no link for you all to look at today but,  it is super simple to figure out.

Best Creamy Chocolatey Chocolate Frosting.

For my boyfriends birthday I made him yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting.  I wanted to be creative and not just give him cupcakes but make it into a cupcake cake.  While searching Pinterest I found the perfect idea; make a glove and baseball cupcake cake.  It was perfect because the next day I was taking him to a baseball game so it fit into the theme perfectly.

Earn Money From Home

For those of you out there that are interested in making a few extra bucks (i'm sure there's a few of you), I am constantly looking for ways to earn a little extra money by sitting at home doing nothing.  No pants required.  How awesome does that sound?  There are a ton of ways to get paid through the internet by doing surveys, playing games or simply searching for whatever pops into your head first.

The easiest way to make these programs work for you is to make a new email address so that yours doesn't get a sudden influx of junk.  You can do this through gmail or hotmail or whatever (if you don't know this by now you need electronics lessons).  I like to make a folder for each thing i'm doing to keep it organized.  When I have time, I go through each folder and start filling out as many surveys as I can and performing any tasks they ask of me.  So far I have made over a hundred dollars from all of these programs combined in just a few months.  Here are a few of my favorite sites with links included that pay in cash or even gift cards:

Four-Cheese Baked Penne

So my girlfriend and I are both certified pasta freaks, which, given our new-found devotion to eating healthy can obviously lead to some issues...
