Chocolates, Nuts, and Magazines

It's the fall season, and the Girl Scouts troop is selling chocolates, nuts, and magazines! Tricity has been lucky to sell some chocolates and nuts, but unfortunately, she's not doing so well in magazine sales... No one has bought any from her online page! I've been trying to keep her spirits high, though, and have been passing around the link through my Facebook group, my personal Facebook page, my Twitter, and now, even on here. All we need is for 3 people to buy a magazine, and she can get a prize.

The best deals to find are on the "View All Categories" page, and from there, you click on "Combos". They have a year each of Better Homes & Gardens, and Ladies' Home Journal, all for just $16! Or they have a year each of Teen Vogue and Seventeen, all for just $18! Excellent deals, right?  :-)

Anyway, here's what her seller's page says:


Hello, my name is Tricity Craft and I'm selling items for Girl Scouts, and
 need your help!
You can be the one to do that by making a purchase from  
me.

Looking for a gift for the holidays? Stuck on what to give to someone you care about? I'm selling chocolates and nuts! Milk chocolate peanut butter bears, chocolate covered pretzels, whole cashews, dulce de leche, deluxe pecan clusters, mint treasures and so much more! Help yourself these holidays by helping me.

Looking for some fresh reading material? I'm also selling magazines! There are many types to choose from, whether you are looking for health and fitness magazines, beauty magazines, kids magazines, men's magazines, hunting and fishing or sports magazines, house and home, teen, science - you name it, I'm selling it!

When you make a purchase from me, you'll be benefiting my Girl Scout troop- troop 70057 of Perryville Missouri- helping to provide us with the means to experience events that are both fun and rewarding. We can learn to be strong leaders in our community, while learning self-esteem, financial literacy, and good citizenship. So be a good role model and help me out, so that I may learn how to help others.

So please, PLEASE make a purchase BEFORE Thursday November 12th of 2012! I know it's only 3 days away, but we would super duper appreciate it! Just 3 magazine orders is all we need for her to get a prize. This is her first time selling, please don't let her down!

Long Time, No Post

My poor neglected blog... *pet-pets*

While my Facebook group has been thriving, my blog has suffered... I see the whole "10 cool things" idea went right out the window. Maybe I can reboot that and try again?  :-D

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I've been TRYING and TRYING to get videos made! My laptop has been giving me such fits, and my husband's computer doesn't have what I need to get them done. My laptop will only stay connected to the internet for about a minute, and then it's like it gets congested and won't go anywhere else, so I have to shut down my browser, restart it, and use the internet for about another minute. It gets so frustrating! And now, it keeps telling me that my memory is low, and shuts my programs down on me, so if I don't save my progress in time, I lose my work...

Other than that, I just wanted to update the blog. It's been lonely, I'm sure... My daughter has strep throat right now, and she was supposed to go to the dentist today and get 2 more teeth pulled. (I know, I know... you haven't even seen the first two teeth gone yet, have you?) She missed the Veteran's Day parade with her Girl Scout troop yesterday, so that means no badge :-(  but her health is more important. She's at school today, but that's because she's no longer contagious, and she acts like she's fine.

There's a couple of other things to mention, but I'll put them in separate blog entries, like her selling items, and my calendar. Let's see... what else happened lately? We went to the fire station's open house, there was the pumpkin patch thing, and Thursday will be the campfire thing... There was also a lot of Girl Scouts events that went on, but I'm not allowed to share those videos publicly, as per the troop leaders... I'm doing my best to fix everything up, so please bear with me.
