Mason Jar Soap Dispenser by MidwestFinds on Etsy

Mason Jar Soap Dispenser by MidwestFinds on Etsy

Kelly, from the last post I made a few minutes ago, has a "how" on making these soap dispensers found in this etsy shop. This seller shows several unique ways to re-use, and upcycle vintage mason jars.

I thought it would be cool to mount lids on the underside of your cabinets, and screw the jars into them for storage, like people do in their workshops.

I wouldn't recommend using vintage lids, since they would be destroyed by the srews you put through them to mount them to the cabinets. You could buy (horrors) reproduction tin lids, or you could use standard size jar lids from your kitchen. Of course you would decorate them.... Babyfood jars would also work...of course.

This artist and blogger has a lot of good ideas for reusing, upcycling and using everyday items in unique ways to add some charm to our lives and our houses. If you don't feel like making the items yourself, you can buy them on ets.

Make A Business Card for your web at Entercard

Entercard is a website where you create a "business card" for your blog. You get a little 125x125 card with your blog info, plus a listing in their directory. Bloggers can review or reccommend your blog, as well as search for blogs.

These little cards are popping up everywhere, and it seems like a good free way to get your blog out there for people to see. I am signing up for it, and will let you know how it goes.

Since I am starting this blog from scratch, with no followers, any that I get will have to be from one of the methods I will be trying and talking about as I go along.

Cool Contest Online!!

Ok, I like contests, especially blog contests, and I have even won a few. The reason I like blog contests is they are usually for a shorter duration, run by a real person, giving a real review about a product, and the odds of winning them are much better.

This contest is by a couple of ladies who share tips about making money on the web. It seems there are quite a few people actually making money with their blogs, facebook accounts, twitter, and by reviewing products, which not so incidetally, they usually get to keep!

There will be 3 prizes:
First prize: $100 cash (via PayPal or MoneyBookers)
Second prize: 1000 Entrecard credits
Third prize: Free 125?125 banner design
