Get traffic, but get your banner first!

Well, today I have LOTS to share with you, and I can't wait to get started!

First off, I want to give my shout out to Anne of Helping Hands who designed my banner and avatar!

I am an artisan with a need to constantly explore new modes and new ideas! I love to create handmade soaps and bath products with unique custom blends of essential oils, aromatherapy philosophies, herbal products, etc. I also LOVE to crochet and create one of a kind lariats and scarves. Recently I have begun to obsess over crochet jewelry with a variety of wires/ gauges/ and mixed beads- I peddle my wares at every farmers Market and craft/flea market I can find. I also sell out of a consignment shop and have a web store at www.mommytyme.org. I occassionally find my way to Ebay, but the fees are crazy! I want to keep my items as low cost as possible. I get a thrill (similar to a roller coaster ride) when I hear someone comment on my items, or see someone using a custom item! That is what I enjoy more than making money!

I have recently started a web site called Mommy's Tyme which focuses on topics that are relevant to mothers, busy women, lifestyles, children, marriage, etc. This site is updated monthly with new information, topics and discussions... I want this to be a site that is always evolving to meet the needs of people just like us...

Currently I need article submissions for the July posting on the following topics:
Funny stores about kids
marriage after children
Quick and easy dinner recipes (that kids will eat)
and inexpensive family friendly vacation ideas

If you submit an article and I use it, you will get free advertising 760 x 100 banner on my front page at http://www.mommytyme.org

Please Email me at Mommytyme70yahoo.com with "article" in subject line if you are interested!
