Wednesday Chat – Youtube Earnings Later, Tag Along Yesterday, Blast From The Past, More Stuff

chat-wednesday

It’s Wednesday!

Before I forget, today I will for sure record my Youtube Earnings Update video. I hoped to get that done last night, but I’m trying to limit myself to ONE video per day. lol  It gets to the point that if I don’t upload 2 or 3 videos per day I think I’m slacking.  I would love to work my way down to maybe 4 videos per week. Seriously, it would be nice to work less. But I have to work smart because I want earnings to go up, even if my work load goes down.  That sounds lovely!  And with my free time, I could work hard on other stuff.  I’d just be trading one type of work for another. Workaholic.  Addicted.

Yesterday I recorded a Tag Along to Walmart.  I took you in the store with me as usual and we stopped by the Halloween masks!  I love taking you into Walmart with me.  Makes my shopping fun.

I have a Blast from the Past for you here and at the bottom of this post.  I thought it would be a good time to repeat my Christmas Rag Quilt series since Christmas is just around the corner.  But this tutorial will help you make any rag quilt. It does not have to be for Christmas. I hope you enjoy!

I’m still working on learning the Patreon ropes. I will admit, I felt like giving up a few times simply because I was having a very hard time finding answers to my few questions.  But I am not giving up!  I hope to have my Patreon account up and running soon. I’ve very anxious to have that freedom!  My channel will stay the same. I’ll always provide free videos on Youtube. But I need to branch out because Youtube is never a sure thing. I have to find other ways to earn that feel more secure.

Let’s get into the usual stuff because I need to make lunch! My steak is calling me!

On Amazon!   I did some window shopping and found some awesome prices on Cotton Batik!    The 2 Pack of Shower Handles Only $12.96 with FREE Shipping! Like I Use on My Quilt Ruler! – is still available and they are selling like crazy!!  This 100% cotton Muslin is selling like hot cakes too!  I ordered some and I can’t wait to get it!

Walmart CLEARANCE Roundup for 10/17 – Clothing for Girls

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

. walmart clearance roundup darlene michaud

Here is a roundup of items on Clearance at Walmart!  Some of these will be limited (sizes, colors, prints) so hurry to see if they have what you need available!

NOTE:  Clearance items are not always available in your store. They might be only in the warehouse. Most items can be ordered online and sent to your store and you can pick it up for free.  If you don’t like or it does not fit, you can return it directly to the store. So easy!

Order online with FREE Store Pickup (if available)

Or ships FREE to home with $35 purchase

Availability can change at any time. I’m telling you what I saw at the time of this post. Once I post, stuff sells out quick so what I reported my no longer be correct!

 

SHOPPING TIP: If you get close to the $35 minimum, simply order other stuff you always buy including groceries! There are more and more grocery items available on Walmart.com now that you can have shipped to your home. I love ordering the big and heavy stuff for home delivery like 20 rolls of toiler paper or big jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. I do about half of my grocery shopping on Walmart.com now. So convenient!

Halloween Push Up Brownie Pops – Halloween Recipe

Halloween Push Up Brownie Pops – Halloween Recipe

Stuff you might like:

Push-Up Pops: Easy Recipes and Techniques (only 99¢)

NOTE:  Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:

1 pouch Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix
Vegetable oil, water and egg called for on brownie mix pouch
Betty Crocker orange gel food color, if desired
1 container Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
24 push-up cake pop containers

DIRECTIONS:

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 24 mini muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour cups.

2  Make brownie batter as directed on pouch, using oil, water and egg. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each just over half full.

3  Bake 12 to 14 minutes or just until brownies are set and spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool completely before gently removing from muffin cups.

4  Meanwhile, mix food color into frosting until desired orange color. Place frosting in large resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off 1 bottom corner of bag. Set aside.

5  Press 1 cooled brownie into bottom of each push-up pop container. Pipe small amount of frosting on top of each brownie. Add second brownie to each container; pipe frosting onto brownies. Top each with 1 upside-down brownie. Place caps on pop containers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Darlene’s Tips:  So many things you can do with this! You could add pudding between the layers and whipped topping too. You could also color those with food coloring. You could add sprinkles or candy corn. And if you don’t want to make brownies, you can buy some and use those or use cake or donut holes.  Anything will work!

Tuesday Chat – Heading to Walmart! Yesterday’s Car Vlog and a Blast From The Past (that time I showed you my bra)

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

chat-tuesday

It’s Tuesday!

(The blast from the past video link is at the bottom of this post. Quite visible to me that I’ve lost weight since then. It was June 2016.)

I’m off to a good start!  I took my shower and was dressed before noon. And since I got that done at a decent hour, I think I’ll head over to Walmart to get the stuff on my mother’s list.

I was majorly sad to see that most of the items I normally order online had huge price increases!  I think they do that on items that we start to order often. I know they rather we don’t choose to have our stuff shipped (they have even said so which is why they now offer some discounts if we order online but chose free pickup).  I totally understand that.  And I love business so much that I don’t mind them making whatever changes they need to make.

With that said, it looks like it’s back to shopping in the store for the majority of my mother’s items. Thank goodness I don’t have any shopping to do for myself.  All I ever really need is meat and that is pretty much one stop shopping for me at Roger’s.  And the more shopping I have to do outside the home, the more tag along videos you get!

Expect a Tag Along video later!

Yesterday, I did a quick Car Vlog Video and talked a bit about Patreon.  I’m getting some heat for that!  I totally expected it.  I plan on moving forward with my Patreon endeavor. Just still reading up and trying to learn the ropes. I have a feeling it’s going to be good for me, for my mental health, even good for my soul.  And it’s not likely that haters will follow me there, right?  I mean who on earth would pay just to hate?  Maybe some will.  That’s okay.  I can buy toilet paper with the dollar that they toss at me and use it to wipe my ass. As long as I get something useful out of it, I’m good. And I love toilet paper. Very useful stuff.

I need to hit the road and get the shopping done!  I’m anxious to just be back home already so I can get my other work done.

On Amazon!   I have my “Feel Like Being Noesy” post with the Top 20 items that my shoppers are buying right now! The shower handles and the muslin are in the lead big time!  And just so you know, I don’t get to see who orders. I just get to see how many were ordered.
