Have you ever wished you could give me a call to see if we could get together, or wished you could drop by and do some crafts projects together? I know it would be more fun to sit around the table together and snack on some special treats and chat and learn some new projects but at least this way you don't have to get all bundled up and you don't have to drive through the snow--Oh that's right we don't have snow here. So what is the Big Secret? I have 4 e-books filled with pictures and recipes and Its So Very Cheri craft tutorials. Each one contains special family recipes and 3 of the E-books contains 3 project tutorials and each E-book is totally different than the next one. I have taken lots of pictures for you and have tried to explain everything in easy to follow directions..
For those who have been following my blog for awhile you already know this, but for the new gals who are just starting on this journey with me, I will catch you up. My husband has been in school. Typically he works and goes to school but the Day before Thanksgiving his case ended and he hasn't had another case come open at work. Can you feel my stress? 4 super excited kids, who are making their lists and checking them twice and we have no money coming in and no idea when another case will open up. I had begun working on the e-book and it was perfect timing with this unexpected loss of all income, right smack dab when it is time to start our Holiday shopping. SO this is my way of providing Christmas for my children while Prince Charming is in school. Thanks you for your support and if you can help me spread the NEWS about my down loadable e-books, we sure would appreciate it. I know times are tough and I am making them super affordable so if you know someone who loves to bake, or likes to try new recipes or someone who loves to do crafts-these would make great stocking stuffers.
I have 4 e-books available. I have titled each one with a favorite Christmas Song title and each one has full color photos, fun little tidbits of info; because that is the kind of stuff I would share with you if we were sitting and chatting, with a list of items needed and detailed instructions of How I made it. No 2 E-books have the same recipes/projects. E-book #1 has 7 recipes and they are all specialty, sweet treats for the Holidays. E-books # 2, #3, and # 4 each have 3 recipes and 3 craft tutorials. Some of these recipes are from our Grandparents or Great Grandparents and are family treasures. My e-books are only $4 each--you just can't beat that deal. So if you want all 4 e-books you will receive 16 recipes and 9 crafts projects for $16.
DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM- E-book #1 includes:
The first e-book has 7 delectable, tantalizing, TO DIE FOR recipes that are some of our family's FAVORITE Holiday recipes. We have so many that we rotate which treats we will make each year, of course we have some that are must haves. Most of our Holiday Specialties are things we only make at Christmas time, so they are special treats that we look forward to.
These are not your typical chocolate chip cookies or rice crispie treats. Now there is nothing wrong with either one of those-I love them both but you are getting pastries, candies and desserts that are family heirloom treasures. Each time we take these to a party or have them in our home, they are always devoured and they are the talk of the dessert table. Not only do they taste good they are also gorgeous on the table.

I've just ordered the dance of the sugarplums e-book. You had me at coconut pie, my dear! I can hardly wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteHugs and hopes that you have a lovely Christmas with your sweet family.
I know just what it's like to have a husband in school. My husband was in grad school working toward his PhD for the first five years of our first little one's life, and that was TOUGH. I can't be thankful enough, though, for the lessons I learned during those times of living on less. As hard as it was living off of less than $22,000 a year and having a child and living in an expensive town, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Cheri, so sorry you you are continuing to have so much trouble with Blogger. I don't think I've heard of anyone else having this many problems with it. I just don't understand it either, so maybe you should just move to another host & your own site.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best with everything! Have a very Merry Christmas with your family. And I hope things with your hubby's job turns around for you.
Cheri..., I wish you best of success with your e-books..., a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'll be slowing down (with blogging) over all the holidays. Sea you in 2010!
ReplyDeleteI am really glad your at least getting things to post.. sometimes it can be SUPER frustrating! :) But good luck through the holidays.. i think this time of the year is tough on everyone and going through school i know doesn't help! :) But remember it will get better! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging and blessings! :)

Hmmmm. I had some problems too a while back. It was problems with my feed. Have you checked that out?
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be useful? A button to post on our blogs for easy access to your ebook page. I'd gladly put it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe recipes sound delicious, and such family treasures. I'm hoping my pennies will stretch to getting at least one. xx
Hi Cheri: Great idea on the e-book. I wish you lots of success. Blessings and well wishes on this Christmas week. Martha
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your e-books and I hope you get your google issues solved soon. I started my business to pay off a school loan, so I can understand your position. I wish you the best!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are updated for me now-yeah!!! So glad it's fixed!
ReplyDeleteOh you are so creative! I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors. This year has been a challenge for many, myself included. Staying faithful I know it will all be ok.
ReplyDeleteI too had a bit of trouble on google. I switched over to Mozilla Firefox and all has been well.
Be blessed!
The ebooks sound fantastic!!! I wish you all the luck in the world - who knows - maybe you'll be the next Martha or Paula Dean! WIshing you and your family a blessed holiday season and a joyous and prosperous New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh, Cheri!!! So many challenges for you right now! I missed that your husband doesn't have work and is in school. That stinks! My blogging life has changed a bit since I started working 5 hours a day. I don't get to check as many blogs and don't comment very often to save myself time. your e-books look great. I hope you sell a lot. Good luck with everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for sharing your great ideas and bringing in some much needed cash.
ReplyDeleteI, too have been trying to make some money via my blog. I've been on disability for 4 years, and the payments stopped in September. Best of luck to you.
Lots of great news!! I'm most excited you update regularly on my blogger again!! hehe I hope your Christmas is wonderful. We too have scaled WAY back. We say it every year but this year we meant it. I think they will still be just fine as they never get "what they want" anyway! hehe
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Hugs, Lisa
