My all-time survey company is again accepting applicants!

Register to join the Pinecone Panel for an opportunity to evaluate new product ideas in the comfort of your own home and earn cash rewards for your opinions.

There is a new points rewards sytem, however you can still opt to use your points to redeem for PayPal cash, check or to be added to a Debit card and they are still offering $3 per survey.  You will have the option to redeem your points for merchandise or to cash out after completion of one study or to save the points to redeem a larger item from the website.  You can check out more about the new system here.

My husband has participated in the panel and we have always been impressed with how quickly they compensated him after a survey.  We also were given the opportunity to be product testers and were paid $3 for completing a survey about our experience.

Note: They are accepting a limited number of applicants in certain demographics.  Let me know if you are accepted!

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, be sure to apply today!

The Dollar Store Diva: St. Patrick’s Day Gifts

Check out this whimsical gift idea and FREE printable from the Dollar Store Diva!  Makes me want to say “Top o’ the Mornin’ to ya!”

 On March 17, we are having three friends over for Sunday dinner. Since it will be St. Patrick’s Day, and since Irish blood runs through my veins, I came up with an idea for some just-for-fun-St.-Patty’s-Day gifts for my dinner guests.

St patricks day gifts

As usual, I looked around the house for supplies I already had on hand to put together a few gift bags.

Hurrah for the Irish 037 (600x640)

The gift–surrounded by green shreds–in this bag is most definitely memorable and totally IRISH.

Are you wondering what it is?

Hurrah for the Irish 012 (640x477)

Why, of course, what else but IRISH SPRING soap!

(Which I actually did already have around the house because I had bought it in a great sale some time before.)

Hurrah for the Irish 028 (526x640)

I have included a FREE printable for the tag I used to decorate each bag: Hurrah for the Irish . (If you want to print four of the tags, just run the cardstock though the printer again, being careful to replace the paper in the tray so that it will print on the opposite half of the sheet.)

Cut out the Irish flag and the HURRAH FOR THE IRISH tag; adhere that tag to the flag cutout. Add any other colorful and creative touches you choose.

Hurrah for the Irish 047 (640x522)

Maybe these will spark some St. Patrick’s Day gift ideas of your own.

Hey, wait! Here’s another just-for-a-chuckle idea: why not spruce up a bottle of Bailey’s IRISH Creamer?  Afterall, what could be more Irish than that? 🙂

Hurrah for the Irish 029 (480x640)

And one can’t help but say:

Hurrah for the Irish!

For those of you who haven’t met her, the Dollar Store Diva happens to be my Mom, Nancy, who has a special power.  She can transform Dollar Store and other inexpensive finds into super fun gifts that would brighten anyone’s day!
