My first post

Hello, my name is Jamie and since this is my first post I'd like to tell you about myself. I'm happily married and live in a small town in the Midwest. We have , of course, a small house, as all our children are grown. We have four grandchildren, ages sixteen, nine, six and two. At our house we have a dog, Ike and a cockatiel, Snowball. My husband Steve is a disabled Viet Nam veteran so he's a house husband and I have another j-o-b outside the home. We love to garden and landscape but, since we've only had our home for six years and the house is over 100 years old, the yard and the house still need some work.
I have a home candle business at http://www.jamieslights.com/. I love scented candles and of course I think these are the best. The business opportunity really is the best so check out my site and see what I have to offer. I also have a page at www.squidoo.com/jamiecarver on business. Squidoo helps to drive traffic to your site if you have a lens there because Google loves Squidoo.
Last week Save the children started a campaign to get people to do a lens on Squidoo for their favorite Idol. American Idol is going to give money to Save the Children on April 24th on their show and votes will be taken. I had been wanting to do a lens (page) to put some things I had collected on, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. If you have a chance check it out at www.squidoo.com/savethechildren/inchrist . I'm pretty happy about it because it's been consistently in the Top 100. If you go to these links and they don't work go to squidoo.com and type in Jamie Carver and you'll find me. Click other lens and it will take you to my fundraising lens. Please click on the stars on the top to rate it and leave me a note so I know you've been there and what you think.
Now you know what I've been doing. This time last year I couldn't have done anything remotely like this. I could turn on my computer and read my e-mail. That was it! So you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, believe me!
Until next time!
