WOYWW 618 - Owl ATC & Colop E-Mark

It is still just about morning here, and I was determined to get a blog post typed today.  Was shocked to see how many weeks I have missed with this global hop around crafty workspaces (click HERE to join in).  I have been super-busy earning money with Matched Betting, and the Cheltenham Festival is named 'Cheltmas' in that community, so I joined in just to see how much money I could make over the 4 days.  I have decided not to continue with horseracing betting, so glad that I did try it out this year - and I made over £300 (my usual monthly target).  Flare ups of my chronic pain and preparing for the first family visit since Christmas 2019 last week also kept me away from blogging.

I have been crafting quite a bit, and deliveries of crafty stash have arrived (I treated myself as a reward for all the time I have spent with Matched Betting). 

You can see the latest delivery from Create & Craft (please remember to go through TopCashback to get the 5% cash) on my crafty table.  It is a Colop E-Mark, which does multi-colour stamping - on all sorts of materials.  I also bought a selection of the accessories including ribbon and labels.  I have been watching the tv shows for a few years and always wanted one of these latest models (I had one of the original ones many years ago, which you had to put cartridges in to get the designs.  This one links via wifi to an app and you can can do any words/images.)   Already made a birthday card for a friend - with personalised ribbon on it, plus toppers/insert.  There is a lot to learn to take advantage of everything it can do.  Anyone else got one?

I am also in the process of getting an owl ATC made for a trade.  I actually got my dies and Sizzix machine out for this.  It just needs sticking together and then I can get it in the post this afternoon.

All busy here - with solar panels being fitted to the roof of the shed that is closest to the house.  This is a garage now (new electric door fitted), with charger for our electric car - and it will also be a workshop for bikes etc.

I will get around blogs later and catch up with what everyone is doing.

ps  I am doing a Tarot course this month and will need some 'guinea pigs' to practice on (haven't done any readings for a couple of years, so decided a refresher course would be useful).  If anyone would like a reading, email me at aliwade1971@gmail.com.

Making Money Online : earn money for crafty stash!

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.
