The 4th
Thursday, July 03, 2008
Should be packing - but wanted to dash off a pre-4th of July blog -
Keeping on with normal cyberpursuits - Went deeper into freestufftimes.com (recommended by another thriftyfunner) and under the "Money" section found 2 places to sign up for being a cyberJUROR to make $ - Signed up & heard back from one - Any little way to make some $ - My husband found a $10 check handing around I got from somewhere & I don't remember what it was FOR.
If the gov't asked me what the value of this all would be I simply couldn't tell them - but I bet it all adds up! And it's fun. I do do some free online "gambling" - the latest is Winster - but, you know, I have always say that the greatest gamble is my LIFE - so I don't have so much of an urge to get outside thrills.
Mark just found a nice pseudo-oriental runner at a dollar store (for $15!) and I customized it by coloring in some parts of the cream design (it's cream/black/maroon) to make it look more like my late-lamented REAL Persian rug, which finally succumbed to some nasty MOTHS. Alas.
I used a blue permanent marker, which picks up the traditional blue/maroon color scheme of the oriental rug pattern. Looks much nicer & less like a machine rug, if I do say so myself! You can also touch up old faded patterned rugs - dealers have been doing it for years....but don't touch a rug you may think has some real VALUE. But if Fido has been munching the edge - or it's a bit worn (like the edge of my dark blue rug in the living room) - you can touch the area up and no one will be much the wiser!
Enjoy your 4th. We look forward to the BBQ & fireworks!
