Thank you Amazon shoppers!

Whoever ordered this playset through my Amazon link, I just want to say Thank You! from the bottom of my heart!

I was so shocked when I checked my affiliate numbers this morning - which I do every morning to see what's new. Though I can't see who buys stuff (or thank them personally), I just see what has been bought. 

Understand that normally I make about $10/day through my Amazon link - which helps to pay for the maintenance of this blog. Imagine my surprise when I saw $111!   I've never seen anything like that before!

So thank you, so much!

I appreciate all of you who remember to take the extra time to come to my site before going on Amazon to click through my link. Amazon's affiliate program helps people like me turn more attention to blogging/researching/information sharing than we might otherwise. We make usually about 6-7% of whatever you spend when you go through a dedicated link.

I have been buying from Amazon myself for 13 years, which is why I feel good about promoting it for shopping. I save time, energy, and money - plus avoid impulse shopping - by finding whatever I need at Amazon. I also love the customer reviews, which have helped me determine everything from the world's best blender to the world's best women's athletic shoes.

I have been astonished at my readers' purchases before - futons, chandeliers, beautiful jewelry, chainsaws, automotive parts - and appreciate those high end purchases. But I have to say, a $1450 playset wins the prize.

Remember that you can buy your kids' homeschool books and college books through my link, browsing used copies. I've always had my college kids give me their list of books to shop for on Amazon so I can get them cheaper than the college book stores - and then have them shipped directly to them.

Also, remember that for most stuff, shipping is free - just look for the Super Saver Shipping when you check out. You can also get a prime membership for 75/year which gives you free 2-day shipping and only 3.99 for next day. If you buy a lot and tend to be last minute, this is a useful option.

Please think of using my link and shopping at Amazon for Christmas. And please know that I am very grateful!
