Earlier this evening I was informed that I was somewhat featured in an article about “Paid blogging”. I live nowhere near the city this piece was featured in but it’s pretty amazing that I was mentioned, along with my blog link and things like this:
On her Weblog, Teresa Jones’ “semidaily ramblings of a housewife” include posts about the heat, the deterioration of her bathroom floor and her love of handbags.
Lori and I had a good chuckle about the “love of handbags” simply because that’s so “me” right now! Though really, when has that ever not been me (Jo, Stacey, Jess - back me up on that)?
When I was initially informed about this, my heart skipped about a thousand beats and I almost choked. Why? Because I was truly worried I would wind up reading a negative piece - there’s just so much negative flack when it comes to what “I” and so many other bloggers do in regards to paid blogging! You see, many bloggers have previously been interviewed only to have their words, feedback, and positive tone turned into something completely negative!
I’m happy to say, however, this was a positive piece! I’m so excited that my name and website were mentioned that I could do backflips! Wouldn’t that be a sight for sore eyes? I’m sure I’d hurt myself in the process!
Hello. I am Teresa. I run this joint. Scribble Scratch is a place I use to document my life, and share my art and photography.

i just recently started doing paid blogging, and you know… i love the idea behind it. get paid to do something you already do & love, and if your readers don’t like it, they scroll past the entry.
my only peeve is that some ppl get carried away with it and don’t update as much any more with personal stuff, which just makes me sad & miss them
