Below are several of the on-line services and shops that I use and enjoy almost every day. I would hate to be without these sponsors, because they consistantly make my on-line life more convienient. Please take the time to visit their sites by clicking on the graphic. If you agree with me about how great they are, please sign up for their services. I know you won't be disappointed! Blink.com I use Blink.com to store all my bookmarks/links to websites and have found it to be a great way to have instant access to all of those collective links instead of having some at work and some at home. I can use them any time I have a connection to the internet, and better yet, I can share them with other people by making my folders public. All of the links on my Beading Resources page are downloaded from Blink. FREE, easy and convenient: what more can you ask? Amazon.com My husband uses Amazon.com all the time and is one of their biggest fans. He's ordered things for me as well and has always been impressed by their customer service. They have great prices on books, movies and other things, and I've found their auction site to be a great place to shop for beads and findings. Amazon.com is a great site. Photopoint.com I love Photopoint! You can upload all of your favorite pictures, sort them into albums, and share them with your friends, all for FREE! There's no limit to the number of pictures you can upload, and you can even have you pictures printed and mailed to you (or someone else, if you want to make a gift of them). I use Photopoint for my beadwork pictures as well as pictures of my family outings and my son (for the grandparents). It's a great way to keep in touch with your relatives without having to pay so much money having prints made and mailed. It's wonderful! Sign up for PayPal and get $5.00 Free! PayPal is a person to person payment service that lets you accept credit cards from anyone! Great for auction payments, IOUs and anything else that two people need to exchange money for. PayPal I've used Paypal since around January. When I read about their service, I was skeptical, thinking that it was some sort of scam, but I read a great article about them in the Wall Street Journal that put my mind to ease. That and the FREE money really helped. Click on the ad, sign up and you'll get $5 for FREE!! Free money is for real on the internet. They'll even direct deposit into your checking account. You can't beat it. X.Com which owns Paypal also has an internet banking service you can sign up for.
