The Spunky Diva

Here are is the Blog Earnings pie chart for September.   For the book values I used the list price from CBD.com since that is where I would have bought the books from if I had purchased them.  Makes the blog earnings a little more realistic, LOL!  I am very impressed with SwagBucks as I have earned $10 worth of Amazon Giftcards, and have almost enough to trade in for another $5 Amazon Giftcard.  My big cash earner in September was Social Spark as I was able to cash out $50 into my PayPal account.  Very nice to have to spend on our trip.
