WFMW - Travel Jewelry Case

Amber — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:55:41 +0000

I’m stealing borrowing another Works For Me idea from my grandmother that I saw while we were on vacation a couple weeks ago.

My grandmother wears a lot of jewelry.

A LOT of jewelry.

It doesn’t matter where she’s going - even to the grocery store she’ll have a ring on each finger, several necklaces, several bracelets, and three pairs of earrings.

One morning while watching her get her jewelry out, I noticed she had it all stored in a travel type case.

“It’s a bead box.” she said. My grandmother purchased a very cheap bead organizer to carry her jewlery in. You can see by the quarter that it’s not too big, and I think she said she just paid a dollar for it, maybe two. Just the right size and price.

So there ya go.

Tackle It Tuesday - Twitter

Okay, TWITTER does NOT count as housework. Or anything even remotely close to it, I KNOW.

Nonetheless, my task for today was to sign up for Twitter.

Yes. I KNOW. It’s Twitter.

I had said I wasn’t going to sign up for Twitter. It was goofy, silly, trivial. I mean, do y’all really need to know I’m mopping the kitchen floor? (Besides, I’m not.. not right now, though it seriously needs to be done. Perhaps I should do that instead.)

However… while chatting with some new bloggy peoples at Robin’s party, it was pointed out how beneficial Twitter can be for networking with other bloggy peoples.

I hadn’t thought of it that way.

They have a point. I suppose.

So Now I Am On Twitter. There’s a big collective bloggy rolling of the eyes, I’m sure. I mean, I’M trying not to roll my eyes. I’m sure after a while I’ll get into it and enjoy it. I’m sure. Yeah.

So if you already Twitter you can follow me in my novice attempt at Twittering and networking. I promise not to post anything about me clipping my toenails or bathing my cats. Deal?

If you don’t have a clue what in the world Twitter even is.. the Twitter FAQ page can help explain that a little bit better.

SO.

Do YOU Twitter? Why? Or Why Not?
