I took a break from the Internet for most of yesterday so I had my lowest income day on mylot yet, which was twenty-seven cents. But I wasn't on mylot much today either so I may make even less.
I missed the cut-off to get paid in Dec. by a mere .13, so I kind of lost interest. I hope my lapse was only temporary. Considering how long it takes me to upload photos using dial up, it seems they should be paying a bit more for photos.
Last night we went to see an artist's colony in Ontario CA. We got to tour the studios of a potter, a watercolorist, a fantasy artist, a photographer and a sculptor. It was a rainy night so afterwards we went to have hot chocolate at Starbucks with one of the artists. It was 11 PM by the time we got home. They said the artist's walks are much more popular in the summer. It was a low turn-out due to the rain and because everyone is getting ready for Christmas and other holiday activities.
I got a little juggling in tonight, but I was outdoors and my fingers quickly became too numb in the chilly air.
We went grocery shopping and had baked beans and ham for dinner.
I bought the Knifty Knitter at work yesterday and learned how to use it in about five minutes. I think it's going to be boring, but sometimes I need a mindless project so it's kind of falling into that catagory for me right now.
But I need to know how to use it since a lot of customer's have already asked me about it.

That sounds like an interesting trip.
If you do different items on the KK you will find it will not be boring,Of course if you do the same old hats and scarves,it is like anything else,it can be boring.
Will you be teaching classes at Michael's?

They already have a Knifty Knitter teacher at the Michael's I work at in Buena Park CA. So I teach knitting, crochet, beadwork and scrapbooking there. Many of the woman in the angel knitting group use the knifty knitter though. Only 2 or 3 of us actually knit, and the rest do crochet. The angel group makes items for charity and meets once a month and Michael's let's us use their classroom.

Sounds like you had and awesome time out. I have been spending more and more time away from the internet. Gets boring sometimes so I get to working on something else like jewelry or reading or writing or just going and playing in my Greenhouse. As for the upload of pictures guess we are lucky they pay for those at all because really technically they don't have to even pay for discussions. I am on some forums that don't pay. Put its all good meet nice people and all

I'm glad you took the time off, as it is way to addicting. Don't get bord, just find friends you enjoy chatting with. Don't think about making money, it's just the frosting on the cake. Have a nice holiday.

Sunday I managed to earn even less on mylot. I earned a whopping .12. A new all time low for me.

$0.27 was your lowest daily income? I've got that beat. Try eight cents for yesterday for Yours Truly.
Then again, I do divide my time between mylot and Epinions and MySpace. I write reviews at the former and hang out, as it were, at the latter. I keep a blog there, and every so often I think my entries are somewhat readable!

As of the last few days I've been barely on myLot so I've only made a few cents. It is nice to take a break for a little while and do other things. Especially with the holidays I don't have time to do the things I need to do let alone want to do like myLot.

I think my lowest was .02. and I was gone for two weeks and am trying to get back into the swing of things. I use the knifty Knitters and I am already thinking up projects to do. I already knitted all the grandbaies hats and scarves while in Ohio. but I have some ideas that I have not seen in patterns for the kk's so I'll see if I can make a pattern or two. I just sarted on them a few weeks ago.
