$50 Your Way Giveaway January 2023!!
My First Giveaway for 2023!
Happy New Year Little Peanuts!!!
2023 has come in with a vengeance, hasn’t it!! Because BABY it’s cold here in Idaho!! We’ve been in the negative numbers for so long that I practically live under my heated throw!
Remember last month when I said I was going to dip my toe in the craft fair pool?? I made some snarky Christmas t-shirts, and I am GIDDY THEY SOLD!!! OHMYGOSH!!! They sold!!! I can sell stuff!!! THEY SOLD!!! People bought my t-shirts!! I’m so excited, I’m also full of anticipation for the next chance to do a craft fair. I promise you; I thought I would be bringing home each and every single t-shirt. I SOLD STUFF!!! (insert giddy me clapping wildly and maybe squealing like Sally Field “They like my stuff! They REALLY like MY STUFF!”)
I thought I would share some of the things I did make for Christmas 2022. My craft room is always busy! I saw a video on HammonsNest to make a wall ornament or a plaque. Using $1 Tree items and they came out AMAZING!! I used the remaining tile to decorate a coffee can and put my Mom’s miniature Christmas tree inside.
Money holders for UPS and USPS. (As close to their colors as my cardstock supply would allow) Paper angels, star and mittens for the tree. I was busy, busy, busy. Of course, t-shirts for Alice and Olivia
Now for the real reason that you are here………………….
GIVEAWAY TIME
I truly am thankful you stop by! Most of you every day. As always, I am blown away by your support and most of all your friendship!!
My monthly $50 giveaway is my way of saying THANK YOU for being a follower! I do appreciate the fact that you are here. THANK YOU!!!
This month’s giveaway has the same exact spiel as last month and the month before and the month before that! The year before and well, you get the idea. For as long as this giveaway is popular, I’ll continue to do it. I am truly thankful and feel blessed that you stop by. This giveaway is open worldwide. $50 American $$.
This is a Giveaway that is hosted by me and only me.
So, coming back often and staying around for a while, and looking at more than one page, really helps me. Of course, any extra clicks on advertisements are always appreciated!! Seriously, HOW subtle is that?!

I am having a wonderful day it just started…
Lindsey
I’m getting my legs waxed tonight!
gloria patterson
We got a light dusting of snow but I think with the cold temps and snow made roads icy. So they delayed school a couple of hours. I WAS going out BUT…………… when you are retired you don’t have to drive in it if you don’t want to.
Tamra Phelps
Oh my gosh, it has gotten so cold in the last 24 hours. And it snowed, with a dose of freezing rain, too. Ugh. Not much stuck but it’s so cold that the little there won’t ,melt, lol.
Shelly Peterson
Got my son some birthday breakfast and cofee this morning. We will be making him his favorite meal tonight.
heather
My day is going pretty good sure caught up on some much needed sleep last night. I can’t believe it is the last day of January boy that went fast.
Polly Hall
It’s only 9 in the morning so my day has just started and it is going good so far.
Kate Sarsfield
Day off today as Viktor has English lessons so just tidying room, catching up on laundry & going to give the car a very much-needed power wash.
Michele Soyer
So the way evaluation works here- their fee that is – is a percentage of the value of the house….all I called use the same formula – now to decide when to do this….before February end it has to be done…
Shannon Victoria Holmes
I slept good last night and actually feel a lot better today.
Tamra Phelps
I had a doctor’s appointmentt with the doctor who is trying to figure out how all of my issues link together after the sepsis. So, the results are that I do have neurogenic issues–everywhere. But it’s likely mostly due to the fact that when I was unconscious for those weeks, my nerves shut down just like muscles do. That means they are trying to work again but it can take time. Still, that’s better than permanent damage that could result if the sepsis actually attacked the nerves.
Kate Sarsfield
I wonder if something like a TENS machine could help? Not to ease/mask pain, but to actually stimulate the nerves.
Tamra Phelps
I do have one, so I’ll have to find out!
Polly Hall
We had a lot of snow to remove when we got home from the cottage this morning.
Lindsey
I’m going to make myself a big salad with homemade dressing for supper.

Still feeling a ;ittle blah–maybe partly from that booster shot. The injection site is itching and sore, so for the first time I’m having a litle reaction to the vaccine: maybe becuase it’s the one that covers new variants?

Michele Soyer
Enough sitting around today I plan on finishing the guest room and I have to do a paint inventory again for a trip to the hardware next week!
Tamra Phelps
Went to the doctor today–actually saw the nurse practitioner. I like her, she’s great. I probably do have a cyst on my wrist and it might be causing the pain in my hand but it might also be arthritis or tendinitis from having to use this wheelchair. We’ll have to find out.
gloria patterson
Picked up a few things from krogers. Raining spitting a little snow, temp was high of 37.
Put everything away and decided needed a nap…… nothing like a nap on a cold day
heather
My day is going super fast. I just got in the door from a Costco trip and it was cray cray why is that place always a mad house. I thought going early on Friday would be a good idea to avoid the crowds I was wrong.
Polly Hall
Drove north to the lake house for the weekend.

Taking the day off.. maybe it is all the paint fumes but I need a day away from brushes, rollers and paint! Well could pack a few boxes.. could weed the garden..or I could just relax and play with the dog and cats!
Tamra Phelps
I just heard that Lisa Marie Presley has died. That’s unexpected. Sad for her kids, especially the teenagers. Today in KY, we had storms, pretty big hail and tornado warnings.

Jessica Beard
I’m doing well! The kids and dogs are keeping me busy!
l p
the day is going well. lots of ups and downs but overall, it’s good. saw a news story about a pharmacist who does pharmacy counselling so I dropped in on the way home. I don’t need the service but others do. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Early-ish start for an appointment – the weather is horrible: wet, windy and miserable BUT and it’s a big but, it was still daylight at 4.30 yesterday afternoon!
Cindy Merrill
I went on some dates art a fruit bowl but I didn’t have much luck: The banana was not appeeling, the grape bunch were rather sour, I asked the peach about his background- he was rather fuzzy about it, I went on a date with a few cherries but it turned out to be the pits. the oranges and tangerines were too busy discusing their sections, and were rather pithy about it, as well. So I went home.
Polly Hall
My older brother is moving back to Mi. from Ca. drove for an hour to check out an apartment for him, it was a nice drive.
Tamra Phelps
Went to the grocery today. It’s still sort of rainy here, so not as cold as it could be but I’m tired of rain, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
Another day of napping & sheer laziness! Hope you’re all keeping well.
gloria patterson
Last night was the best sleep and I had a 3 hr nap so far. I am hoping that tomorrow when I go my car starts with no problems
Made hanburger with med hot peppers in sauce……………. so good. Have ate it twice and have not made the pasta yet.
heather
My day is going great to far. I finally have the Internet back after almost two weeks. Just got done putting a yummy chicken soup in the crock pot so dinner is cooking and the house smells so good.
Kk P
My day is going really well. I have a lot of appointments to set up and they are all falling into place – a rare situation! I sure hope it continues.
Shelly Peterson
Well it’s back to snowing today. I’m heading to dialysis soon.
l p
the day is going well. the fog has yet to leave. lots of car accidents and air quality advisories, so it’s safer to be indoors. thanks
Michele Soyer
My goal is to give the guest room the second coat of paint today and move on to the next – to be honest this is better than going out onto the land and doing cutting and trimming!
Tamra Phelps
Doctor’s office called to reschedule my next appointment because he won’t be in next week. So i rearranged my schedule. Other than that, it’s been a slow day.

Drove my car twice on monday to make sure it would start for car appointment tuesday. It is a good thing I did ………. it gave that sound Don’t Want to Start. BUT it did.
Made it the apointment told everthing about what had been done and what was going on with it. They checked it and said the battery was very low and he didn’t think I should do the diagnostics ($400) and just get the battery ……. $150. All I want is for my car to start and run FINGERS CROSSED
Shelly Peterson
Today I have a dr. appointment. Then I will be watching my grandson.
Polly Hall
Not sure why but I’ve been tired all day, and I do not want to fix dinner tonight.

Tamra Phelps
I’m having one of those days when I just feel fed up and emotionally done. Oh well, it will pass and I will just get on with life, but right now I feel like going back to bed, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
Left at 05.15, got back at 22.45! One heck of a long day & my sis was out so couldn’t pop in for a cuppa and a nap. So, what did I do? Went shopping, of course! Had a small list of decorating stuff for the new house and some groceries, ended up spending €400. Saw a big floor rug marked down from €300 to €99 – couldn’t pass that by! Very tight squeeze on the way home in my little car with 3 Ukrainians, plants, shelving & a carpet!!!
Tamra Phelps
I’m trying to picture the ride back, lol. Like a scene from a sitcom.
Polly Hall
Finally a sunny day here have not seen it since the end of Nov.

Off to walmart again for more surge protrectors power strips. I made a guess on how many my mother would need ………… I was off
Have to get 3 more of them and one of them has 15 ft cord.
This HUD bldg was build in the early 1980’s. Back them you didn’t have that many things to plug in. Bedroom has 3 outlets, bathroom 1 outlet, kitchen 3 outlets , and living room has 3 outlets.
Today we need a whole lot more. Couple hours I will go and get 3 hooked up and then I am done
I HOPE
Michele Soyer
Blessed Sunday! Coffee, cats. pooch and my book! Later lunch single malt and a movie….
gloria patterson
Have you ever counted how many power strips you have in your home and the best part where they are.
Another trip to walmart for more surge protrectors power strips
My STUPID moment of the day. Have this desk with the top on it. The plug is behind the desk in the ver center. So after cleaning the top off and moving some stuff…………… I tried lifting. I did get it to move so I could get to the plug. Long story short verson pluged in, moved the desk back . One of strips didn’t work, back out push and pull………… desk back does not work………………
STUPID MOMENT — I didn’t turn the strip on
Tamra Phelps
Ugh, as of yesterday, I’m another year older. I just don’t love birthdays anymore, lol.
Connie The Head Peanut

Shelly Peterson
Today I have cleaning to do and then later a birthday dinner to go to.
heather
Our Internet has been down for a week now and it is making me really upset to say the very least. When you call them they avoid helping you and it is really making me mad.
Polly Hall
I really like reading your word of the day message for the month.

Well great niece was here for a couple of hours and then we got a FaceTime call. It was another aunt and she has Zay’s cousin Celeste (1) who was spending the day with her. They talked threw kisses and hugs and then we hung up. Just looking as Zay I knew she wanted to go to her aunts house. So I asked her and it “well no its ok I don’t etc etc” I finally asked DO YOU WANT TO GO TO YOUR AUNTS TO PLAY WITH CELESTE………..YES So her mummy contacted her grandmother who came to get her. Cousins need time together
So now I think I am just going to take a nap………………………………..

Our internet has been out for four days and I am about ready to freak out over it! I wish we could get a reliable service provider!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great niece is 6 and she spend the day with me. She loves to craft, paint etc. And she knows that when we finish one project we clean up and put away before we start something else. Then we visited great grandma for about 3 hrs then back to my house.
She wears me out but I enjoy ever minute with her. She has one more day off before school starts back so she will be back tomorrow. 🙂
Tamra Phelps
It’s been rainy for a few days now but at least it’s not cold. It’s actually been in the high 50s. I know it won’t last but its good while it lasts.

Belated Happy New Year. I’ve got so many lists on the go that it’s a little daunting. One step at a time, I guess – or make just one big list?
