ON THE BLOG FRONT

It was a great week on the blog this week. I shared a new fall tablescape and another fall banner project.

  1. I’ve started following Debbie Gartner of The Flooring GIrl. Debbie is an expert at affiliate marketing. I bought her course, Journey to the Center of Amazon. Debbie makes about $4 ~ $5,000 a month from Amazon. That sounds like a great plan to me.
  2. BIg Scoots set up a staging site for my blog. I’ll work off of it as I switch from Genesis to Kadence and customized my new theme. I also watched a few videos from Restored 316 about installing Kadence on my site. I’m going to take this process slowly so I don’t make any booboos.
  3. I’ll start using my credits from Keywords Everywhere for keyword research starting NOW.
  4. Pumpkins are the most iconic of fall decor items. I have 5 ideas for DIY/decorating pumpkins. I started the projects earlier this week and I can’t wait to share them in the coming week.
  5. Here are the posts that I shared last week: Outdoor Fall Tablescape with Harvest Colors, An Easy Wood and Burlap Fall Banner, and 10 Fabulous Finds #4.

ON THE HOME FRONT

  1. I finished Season 3 of Virgin River this week. OMG, now what? There were like 5 plot lines hanging. How do you wait for the next episodes? What happend to Preacher? Will Hope recover? What about the lurking bad guy in the shadows? Did Brady shoot Jack or not? And of course, how will Jack take Mel’s big reveal? You did see that coming, didn’t you? Thank goodness that The Morning Show starts on September 17th. 8 ~ MORE ~ DAYS!
  2. I love my new camera remote. It works like a charm.
  3. Thank you so much to those who shared their cataract surgery experiences. I’m really looking forward to getting this done. I have to stop wearing my distance contacts on Monday, which may have me sitting on the sidelines at tennis for a few weeks. Bad timing since the season started this week.
  4. We hosted our first little dinner in the new back yard last weekend. It was hot, even after sundown. No one complained.
  5. We actually had some cooler weather staring Thursday morning. It was in the 70’s! Take a breath! 70’s is like heaven. It did warm up to the low 90’s by late afternoon. Even Nola seems friskier.
