One of my first assignments as an IZEA Insider was to come up with a name for my crew. I already have 23 confirmed members of my crew and I can’t wait until January to get them started in helping me spread the word about IZEA.

My crew name is: IZEA Swarm…Creating Buzz for IZEA, and I’m working on a logo with busy little bees buzzing around the IZEA logo. Ashley requested jazz hands, you think he’ll like this little bumble bee?

If you signed up for my crew, please add me to your friends on Facebook so I can send you an invite to the group page.

Once again I have to share with you the greatest weekly deal on Buy.com. This week I bring you a Toastmaster 1778 Hand Mixer for a super great price of $12.50 plus free shipping!

With all the cooking I did to prepare for our Thanksgiving feast, this little beauty would have come in really handy. I had my KitchenAid mixer on overdrive all day long, and I really could have used two mixers to keep up.

Now I love my KitchenAid mixer, and I use it all the time, but there are smaller task that I want to do and this hand mixer would be perfect for those! Sometimes I just don’t want to get out the big mixer. Do you have a hand mixer like this? I need one don’t I?

Features:

• 6-speed heavy duty motor
• Chrome-plated beaters
• vComfort grip handle
• Beater ejection button
• Fingertip speed control
• Cord storage
• 125 watts

I have good memories of my childhood Thanksgiving celebrations. We always had dinner at our house and my Grandparents would come over. We’d watch the Macy’s Parade, and football games, and eat the traditional meal. Since there was only two kids, my brother and I, we never had a kid table to deal with.

Were you the kid at the kid table who wanted to sit with the adults?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogging buddies. I hope your day is filled with great food and family.
