That’s my son watching me while we were visiting a butterfly garden. Having me as a mom who loves taking pictures, sometimes when he (and his cousins) sees any unusual insect, they’d holler right away and tell me. Even my sisters call me, too.

Sometimes I get unusual looks when I whip out my camera and take a shot at anything I find interesting. Till now I am still hesitant about whipping out my camera right away; I restrain myself. When nobody’s looking, that’s when I try to get a shot. I guess that’s why some of my shots are taken at unusual angles. hahaha.

Thank heavens for God’s blessings.

Just recently I was reading a blog about a blog owner who bought herself a gift using the money she got from blog advertising… what got me interested was that I also wanted what she bought - a dslr camera. I know it costs the heaven and earth (for me), but what really struck me was that she was going to pay for it with the money she got from a get paid to blog service!

That certainly got my attention so I browsed around, looking closely at those blogs who blog for money. I found different sites where they offer these opportunities: get paid to blog, blog advertising, and even affiliate programs. That’s how I found Smorty, where both advertisers and bloggers come together and do business.

Advertises and bloggers both benefit from this deal; the advertisers get the needed exposure, while the bloggers earn cash. This is definitely a win-win situation. Signing-up and having your blog approved is fast, too. So if you’re interested in getting that one (or two) things for yourself before Christmas, check them out. Who knows, you might be earning more than me real soon!

Taosbound, The Four Clubbs, Thoughts, Ideas, and Other Randomness, The Native Sentimental Maniac, Yeepage Journal, The Daily Journey of an Ice Dragon, Your Website Profit, Average Joe Blogger, Groovy Vegetarian, and I Hate Your Job.
