Swagbucks

Want a free Amazon, Paypal of Target gift card? Here's how to get one! Swagbucks is a search engine that awards you points (Bucks) for searching the web. You can can use their homepage or you can download their nifty toolbar (works with Firefox, Safari and Explorer) to search. I prefer to use the toolbar for a couple of reasons the first being it's easier than using the homepage (which is kinda icky) and because you get a buck a day automatically for using it. 

Mom and I have been using Swagbucks for about a year now. We haven't had any problems with it and have gotten a lot of great stuff for free! I get about twenty bucks a day just searching for the things I visit daily ("gmail", "blogger", "etsy", etc.). You can also get bucks for online shopping, voting in Swagbucks polls and referring your friends : ). A $5 Amazon gift card is 450 bucks and there is no limit to the amount of gift cards  you can use on a single Amazon order. I have gotten 5 cards in the past two months.

I think...

It's finally Autumn. The leaves are turning colors and falling from the trees. The air is cooler and the out-of-doors is so pleasant!

And to top it all off my Elizabeth Swann 18th century chemise is coming along quite nicely.
