A Radio Interview
Posted By Suzy Scribbles in Show and Tell Friday

It's Friday Show and Tell with Mary! Click the graphic to join the fun.

Today my show and tell is the radio interview I recorded with station KNEO in Neosho, Missouri, on October 28. Why am I just now sharing it with you? Mostly because it took that long to get up the nerve? Actually, no. It was aired a week or two ago and with Thanksgiving last week I didn't make it to S&T at all.

But today, for your listening pleasure, you can go to the link below and hear me talking with a radio host named Adam Winkler all about Andrea Carter and the San Francisco Smugglers. I know you won't believe me, but I haven't listened to it yet. That's the honest truth. I'm . . . well . . . I don't like to hear my own voice. Are you laughing yet? I may listen to it someday.

This link will take you to a "shared file" where you can just click on the tiny black arrow on the little player. I've never used "shared files" before so let me know if it even worked!

Thanksgiving
Posted By Amy

This year we went to my grandparent's house for Thanksgiving. I had soooooooo much fun!!! On Monday(?) I took the camera outside to Grammy's garden and had a blast taking pictures of her flowers! I wish I had some flowers to take pics of.
A tip I learned on Better Photo is to take pictures of flowers on a cloudy day so you don't get shadows--it was a cloudy day (another thing we don't get many of here...) and so I got quite a few good photos!
 
Since we had to drive home on Thursday, we had an early Thanksgiving at the park. We ate Lasagna instead of turkey though. (we are going to eat a turkey dinner on Monday) All my cousins, aunts and uncles and a few other people were there too!
After lunch we played tag (sorry, I'm not posting any pics of it...) and baseball (above is Carrotlover--Notice that look on her face---I would hate to be the ball coming towards her. :-)
 
I really like the color in that second photo--I wanted a pic of only the red flowers but the purple ones happened to get in the way... It ended up better than I thought it would though! More random pics:
 
 
  And that is all the pics I have for now. I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

My new model horse and the other horse is one I bought a while back.


Me with all the balloons.
My calendar.


And from my friends:

two bars of home made soap from Amy and Katie. The other one is a red fish but it is in the bathroom at the moment.
A note book from Katie and a book from all of the Amy's family.

From Claudia I got "Mary Jones and her Bible" and "Peter joins in".We all had a really yummy tea!!!
 Suzanna gave me a watch that had a ribbon on it and I can change it to any of the other ribbons that came with it.

That is my little brother!

Bye for now!!

Black Friday sale with TOS!
Posted By Suzy Scribbles

My friend and fellow product reviewer from TOS, Heidi Straswer (Reviews by Heidi) sent this and asked me to spread the good news. It's such a good deal that I now wish I hadn't renewed my subscription last July! Wow! This is quite the savings! Read on . . .

The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine
is having an amazing sale on subscriptions during their annual Black Friday Sale November 26 – 30. For those 5 days only, they are drastically reducing their one-year subscription price to $7.95! That's the price you would usually pay for just one issue at a bookstore!

This is their lowest price ever on the magazine and they want all of you to take advantage of this offer and share the info with your friends.

Please don't miss out. Your one-year subscription will pay for itself time and time again as you receive practical tips and Biblical encouragement to keep going strong in your commitment to homeschooling and to the Lord. Since it's a quarterly magazine, they even have a monthly subscriber's only E-Newsletter called Teacher's Toolbox that will give you seasonal teaching ideas and a free E-Book download! It's like joining a unit study of the month club! The free E-Books alone are valued at almost $250/year. It's really perfect for people who are homeschooling on a shoestring or just wanting to add in some little extras to your teaching.

Plus during the Black Friday Sale, they have all kind of bonus gifts when you spend $50, $75, $100, or $150. Some are electronic downloads that you can download immediately, while other are physical products mailed from various vendors directly to your home.

AND, their Win Big Contest is going on so if you just happen to be customer 67,000, you will receive a prize package valued at almost $500 which includes a $150 gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store! Who couldn't use that? And you can qualify to win it no matter how much or how little you spend!

Mark your calendars for November 26 - 30th and do a little shopping from your seat, not your feet at the Schoolhouse Store's Black Friday Sale!

A new website and a store
Posted By Suzy Scribbles in Show and Tell Friday

Friday Show and Tell with Mary is fun! Join us!
I've been so busy designing and "playing" with a new website template that I've been a slacker in the blogging department lately. But this site is so fun, and you can try it FREE for 30 days. After that it's $4.99/month for 5 web pages. (I pay more because of course I just had to have more pages to play with). But it is SO worth it. You either use their templates and customize or you can download the full Site Builder (free of course!) and make up your own, which is what I did. Here is the website hosting company: www.homestead.com.
And here is my new and improved website. Check it out here, please do! Click on the graphic:


The only thing I couldn't do was have a store to sell my books. (It would cost me $20/mo. to do Paypal on my website! Yikes! Forget it.) So I created a "Suzy's Store" right here on HSB! I think anybody who has some stuff to sell (like Mary or Valerie) should look into this. You just go to PayPal, grab the HTML code for the "add to cart" button you create, and then stick it into an entry post using the "source" option. It cost me nothing. I created a new blog under SuzyScribbles and used the "crayola" template because it is easy to change. Click the graphic, folks:

And that's my Show and Tell for this week. I hope it was interesting and you got some ideas to use HSB for some business ventures in these trying times. I know it works, too, because somebody ordered a couple of books this week using my new PayPal store. Yippee!
