WOYWW 614 - adding to my Crafters Companion 'A Year of Craft'

Morning, everyone - from a windy and wet Pembrokeshire.  Hope everyone is happy and that March is being kind to you so far.

I have some new additions to my craft room in the past week.   There has been some crafty projects finished (Thank You cards and ATCs).  Check out my Instagram for photos of those (@aliwadedesigns).  I also show my progress in my latest Diamond Painting project over there.

I bought a bag of random wood shapes from Etsy to do some different pyrography projects.  I also saw one of the latest Facebook Lives by Craft Buddy with their latest stamp sets for  crystal art (aka diamond painting), and couldn't resist the set with the daffodils (my favourite flowers).  I bought the main set of drawers for the Crafters Companion 'A Year of Craft' at the beginning of the year, and they promised further additions.  I happened to turn on Create & Craft last week, and there it was - another layer, and perfect to create my Mothers Day and Easter cards.

Lets get straight to the photos.

I am going to create the teapot-shaped card for my Mum today - and will do a separate blog post.

Edited to add - here is the finished card.

Definitely going to be keeping indoors for today and tomorrow, until this storm has passed.

Making Money Online : earn money for crafty stash!

This blog post contains affiliate links.

Hi, everyone.  For years I have not been able to work outside the home/our farm and property businesses.  Fibromyalgia and Psoriasis make my daily life very unpredictable, and I would not be able to commit to regular hours of a job.

However, I want to earn some money - preferably passive (ie not making items and having to package them up/arrange couriers etc).  I have my Etsy shop, where I sell various digital items, and had been earning money through TopCashback for years - but then I saw Matched Betting mentioned by a blogger on Instagram.  I was curious.  She was earning upto £800 per month and had no previous betting knowledge, just like myself.

There are 2 main sites offering all the tutorials and tools you need to be successful with Matched Betting and Casino Offers.

Both are equally good for beginners and offer free trials.

I have, for now, decided to stay with Oddsmonkey, as it offers a more detailed Profit Tracker.

Go and have a look, give them a try and let me know how you are getting on.  I am always here to answer any questions.

UPDATE - AS OF 2nd MAY 2021, I WENT PAST THE £2000 PROFIT LEVEL.  4 MONTHS AND A RELATIVELY LOW NUMBER OF BETS.  Start today - I wish I had found Matched Betting years ago.

I am a 50 year old Farmer's Wife from very rural Pembrokeshire.  If I can do this, then you can too.  I have introduced a few friends to these ways of making money online, and they are all addicted too - and making more money than me!

I also earn money through cashback sites.  I have used TopCashback for many years and use it for everything.  Always check it first before spending anything online.  You can even get cash for getting insurance quotes.  It literally is free money and I am always surprised that everyone isn't using it.  Create & Craft are on there!

Another very popular cashback site is Quidco.

Last month I found 20Cogs, which is a site where you earn cash for signing up to various websites or doing free trials (especially Amazon Prime video channels).  It takes a bit more time and effort.  I recommend setting up a folder within your emails and moving everything relating to 20Cogs into there.  It makes it easier to keep track of everything.  However, I have earned over £100 from there so far, so definitely worth doing.
