Making Money With My Hobby by Licensing My Films

Posted By admin on February 25, 2010

Seriously – I didn’t think I’d have the opportunity to sell any of my little film clips that I like to make on the weekends as sort of a relaxing hobby, but I found out that I can actually license my films using  mobile content licensing through mDistribute.  It’s a great way to make some extra cash while making sure that my films are protected through licensing.

I was always afraid of having someone steal my work…now I don’t have to worry about it.  Apparently, now that we can take the internet anywhere we go with our smart phones, laptops, etc, there are always companies looking for video content using animation, regular short movie clips, adult content, etc.  I just think it’s cool that “amateur me” has a place to go and make some money!

Vacation Rentals

Posted By admin on November 15, 2009

My first instinct when I travel is to book a hotel…however, I am considering different types of vacation rentals for my next trip, such as condos, timeshares, etc.  I have not done much traveling, but I think it is time to start considering more vacations.  We were considering going to New York for New Year’s Eve, so perhaps a New York vacation rental would be appropriate.

A friend of mine is heading to Colorado, and she found a great place in Keystone.  When I went skiing before I never even considered a Colorado vacation rental, but now I am open to all kinds of places to stay.  I am sure it will feel so much more like home than a hotel, and it would make a great family vacation!

I just know there is more to see in the world than I have seen, so I just need to get out there.

Trade In Your Purse for a Discount at Dillards

Posted By admin on October 24, 2009

I went to Dillards today to look at a purse I have been lusting after for quite some time. I asked if they had any specials going on right now and the woman in the purse department told me that on Tuesday (October 27) they will give you a discount on a purse if you bring in an old one! I am not sure what the complete discount scale is, but the purse I am looking at costs $178.00 and she said if I bring in an old purse I can get $40 off! (She said if you spend $200 you get $50 off.) So if you have been waiting for a purse to go on sale, you may not need to wait for much longer. She said it doesn’t matter what condition the purse is in.

Dallas Cowboys Disappointment

Posted By admin on October 5, 2009

I’m not a football fan, but do you ever wonder why Tony Romo is still a Dallas Cowboys quarterback?  I hear it all the time in conversation: in normal every day conversation people say how “great” he is, but the day after a football game they are just beating the crap out of this guy.

His inconsistency cannot be mistaken even by someone who doesn’t watch football, so I sit here and wonder why they keep saying he is so great?  Is it because he is just so sweet and lovable that no one really wants to hurt the guys feelings?  The constant disappoint of the fans brought on by this guy’s inability to throw the football so that someone – other than Witten – can catch it makes me wonder what Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys franchise is thinking.

I’m not criticizing…just wondering…

Event Planner – Kid’s Birthday Parties and More

Posted By admin on September 30, 2009

Planning a party can be a lot of work…I know – I just helped with a baby shower!  Sometimes you just have to leave it to the professional to help you simply to avoid becoming overwhelmed.  And when you are trying to have a “Themed” party – like “Wild West” or “Hawaiian Luau”, it’s just easier to have someone put it together for you because they know where to get the supplies!

Parties2U is the best place to go.  Right now their area of expertise is kid’s parties, but they do plan to expand to other types of parties.

Cooking Classes in Dallas

Posted By admin on July 14, 2009

Last night I attended a cooking class in Dallas at the Milestone Culinary Arts Center:

Milestone Culinary Arts Center
4531 McKinney Avenue
Dallas, TX 75205
P 214.217.2818
F 214.526.3187

It was a lot of fun.  The class I took was part of a series called Essential Cooking Series.   You can take one class at a time for $49 per class (the class is 3 hours long), or you can take the entire 12 class series at a discounted price.  I had a blast.  Definitely something fun to do on a Monday night – and the best part after we cooked our food and ate it was the Leftovers!
