Are you in need of graphics for your blog or website but don’t want to spend a lot of money?
Fotolia.com and istockphoto.com are two resources I use exclusively, and are the lowest prices I have found for high quality images.
Both sites have a searchable database of royalty free stock photos for purchase on just about any topic you need. Fotolia is the cheaper of the two; most xs small graphics (around 460 x 460) sell for 1 credit. istockphoto normally start around 3 credits for an xs graphic, although you can find xs graphics for 1 credit.
As you browse Fotolia and istock and come across images you like, you can put them in a lightbox for later purchase. istock allows you to organize your lightbox with folders so you can have images on different topics saved and sorted.
Once you are ready to purchase, you will need to buy credits, which is their form of currency. They accept all major credit cards, as well as Paypal. Both sites have a minimum number of credits you must buy. Fotolia’s minimum purchase is 10 credits for $10.00 and istock’s minimum purchase is 12 credits for $18.00. You do not have to use your credits all at one time – you can save them for later use.
If you don’t want to pay for images, try some of the copyright free image sites that allow you to use images free of charge. Make sure you read their terms before downloading the images. Two popular sites for free images are Freefoto and Stock Exchange.

When I think back to the birthday parties my kids have had over the years (and with 5 kids there have been plenty!), the part I’ve always enjoyed the most has been the games. There is no better way to fill your home with laughter and cheering than to get everyone involved in a game.
And since everyone loves free stuff (am I right?) I want to give you all a copy of an ebook I compiled several years ago called 72 Fun and Easy Birthday Party Games for Children. It is filled with classic, and frugal games you can play at your child’s next birthday party. I hope you enjoy it. Oh and don’t forget to tell me in the comments what your favorite birthday party game is! Click here to download 72 Fun and Easy Birthday Party Games for Children. |

Home based business
Have you ever thought about working from home selling your own products online?
Maybe you’d like to become a Power Seller and sell on eBay, or maybe have your own online store. If so, I have a great (free!) ebook for you called, “Successful Product Sourcing: How to Find REAL Wholesale Products YOU Can Sell Online.”
This ebook is filled with great information on how to find products to sell on ebay or products to sell in your own online store. What I like about the book, it is very easy to understand, and is written by a respected company called Worldwide Brands.
Worldwide Brands is the only publisher of product sourcing information that is certified by eBay! So it is a name you can trust in the business. And that’s important, because there are a lot of work at home scams – it is hard to know who the good guys are!
To download your ebook, simply right-click on the hyperlink that says “Right Click to Download the Ebook” and select “Save Target As” or “Save Link As”. Then save the files to a place on your computer where you can easily find them again.
Right Click to Download the Ebook
The ebook is a pdf file so you’ll need Acrobat Reader to open it. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can download it here.
I hope you enjoy it, and you are welcome to share it with your friends! Please let me know what you think of the book in the comments.

Are the holidays taking you by surprise? I say this every year, but I can’t believe it is December already! To help us get in the Christmas spirit, I’ve put together gift tags for you to print.
I have a new plan for the gifts I buy for the kids. After Christmas last year, my sneaky boys told me all the places they snooped for their gifts. They looked under beds, in our closet, in the trunk of our car…I was impressed with how thorough they were. So now they are a year older, and even though they didn’t find the gifts we hid last year, I’m not taking any chances. Everything is going to be wrapped as it comes in. I’m armed with supplies – wrapping paper, tape, and I’ve printed my gift tags. Bring it on!
