Become a Tax Preparer

I'm always on the lookout for different ways to supplement my salary. It seems nowadays we all need to have more than one job (at least here in the lower end of the middle class we do). So I'm a blogger and a librarian with a couple other jobs tossed in there for good measure. Here's a job I could NEVER do....but maybe you could!!

TAX PREPARER

*cue the lightning and thunder*

Yup, this one is definitely not on my list of possible income earners. If I had to, I could probably do it. Would YOU want me to do your taxes?? NOOOooooo. 

I see numbers and my brain quotes Monty Python:

RUN AWAY!!!!

But what about you? Would you be interested in a course to become a Tax Preparer?? Here's a site that can give you all kinds of information on tax courses. It's called Fast Forward Academy and they offer courses in becoming an Enrolled Agent and a Tax Preparer. They also offer continuing education classes. 

As a tax preparer, you could make upwards of $100 an hour!! You can work from home, work full time or part time, have a business that will always be essential, and reduce your own tax liability. You should think about taking a tax class. I won't though, okay?? Not even a little bit. 

Gourmet Baskets

Gourmet Gift Baskets is a site that offers exactly what it's name says....fancy gift baskets for any occasion!! A gift basket is so convenient for the giver and the receiver because it's simple to order and fun to use. I love gift baskets for their variety and the themed ones can be a hoot. A gift basket can be sent from across the country and still get there in time for the special occasion. 

Gourmet Gift Baskets has TONS of options. You can find something for just about any holiday or any reason. The basket above has an Italian theme....perfect for a housewarming gift!!!! Don't forget about Easter Gift Baskets. How about a gourmet cheesecake sampler?? Ooooooo......

There are plenty of options to choose from. They can also give you ideas on what to put in a Gift Basket if you wanted to make one your self!!

A Marvelous Mess #53 and Features!!!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I went to a baby shower this afternoon and got some fun ideas for sewing projects to try....now if only I could sew well!! We had a great party last week. I look forward to seeing what you have all been up to!!

Here are some of my fave's from the last party:

The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 from Mom on Timeout. This is a great list to have in your kitchen....it is a sad but true fact that a lot of your favorite fruits are *covered* in dangerous pesticides. If you don't want to buy organic, or can't because of prices....stick with the Clean 15!!!!

And, the post I'm going to feature on my side bar is....

Be Twine by Turtles and Tails. Love what a little twine can do to just about any project. Pinned this one for sure!!
