 About
Me updated:
January 2008 - Hello
Everyone! My name is Chris Morgan, a mother to 3 adorable children: Trina 23,
graduated pre-med from Seattle U, now trying to get into medical
school, we call her our brain
child, independent and mature enough to know that it will take much sacrifice to
reach her goal and sacrifices accordingly. Works full time at a hospital
while working part time as a Sales Clerk; Richie 21, my very artistic child, has all the
talent genes pooled into him. He works full time, trying to start up a
band with his friends, he's the lead singer and aspires to be a game
designer; Katie 18, shares the same birthdate as her older
sister March 7th, but different as night and day. She's our very opinionated,
rambunctious but a very lovable child. She's now in her first year of College,
taking up medical classes.
I've been married to Rich an
Facility Engineer/Computer Programmer/Mechanic/Welder for 24
years as of this writing. He's my computer guy, lol . . . just one year
shy of getting his Bachelor's Degree as a Systems Engineer. He's the patient man who helps me
figure out how to configure scripts and programs if I can't do it. But,
these days with his new hectic schedule, I install and configure
everything myself. He might know how to fix and install my
computer programs and some of the web scripts, but he doesn't want
anything to do with web development or what they call web
programming. The best thing he's ever bought me was my new 500
Gig External Drive. With the two of us sharing the computer
with my youngest, we've had way too many viruses and I've lost
thousands of dollars worth of products not to mention work in
progress. Now I don't have to worry about losing things when
the computer gets a virus and with backup burned cd's anything that
gets a virus attached to it gets deleted but can be reinstalled.

My Mom and my two little nephews/brothers Gregory and Albert live with us, Mom
adopted them when the youngest Gregory was just 5 months old, they're now 13 and
14. Blood relatives as they are my 2nd oldest brother's children. Long story,
just happy that we have them with us and as time goes by it was the best
decision for them.
I adore children and am surprised to have
manage to raise children that do not know color, their friends are
just that "friends"! Growing up I've been privileged to meet
almost all of their friends, a few have become like my own children.
My children and I have the best relationship, I am their friend who
talks to them about anything and everything under the sun, but they
also know I am Mom. Their friends think it very unusual that I
know so much about their problems and their friends. Of
course, it doesn't mean I have perfect kids, lol . . . but I
am very blessed that they didn't put me through what most parent go
through. Each were gifted children and as many say very well
behaved and respectful. They've each gotten out of line at one time or
another, but a long heart to heart and a lot of honesty usually
brings them back in. If I sound like I'm proud, I am!
God entrusted me to take care of 3 great kids and the addition of my
nephews is just another added blessing; their friends who consider
us family is the icing on the cake.

Hobbies
Handmade Crafts -
especially crafts related to Christmas.
I dabble in jewelry creation and like to
tear up finished pieces to create new ones.
I'm going to start creating miniature
Christmas ornaments, from dough crafts,
beads, baubles, wood and paper clips.
Baking & Cooking - I
love to bake and cook but I have a habit of
changing ingredients in recipes. I
don't use measuring cups and now that my
kids are old enough to ask for recipes, I am
trying very hard to measure ingredients to
pass on recipes that they have come to love.
Printable Crafts -
With the creation of my Graphics Club I've
been revising many printable craft templates
that I found online and adding my own twist to
them.
Photography -
Have always been a photography buff. I
worked for a commercial photography studio
when I was single. The company worked
with Models, shot still life as well as
scenic views. I'm always behind the
camera, often times there aren't any recent
photographs of me. |

I was once a cost accountant but was forced to stay home when my body went a
little crazy on me. After a year of incorrect diagnosis, I was finally diagnosed
with systemic lupus which was a blessing as it made my faith
stronger and has helped me change my views and perspective on what life is truly
about. I was encouraged or rather pushed by my husband to use the computer which has became an escape and
yet another source for me to share my knowledge. My first site was one
that allowed me to express my thoughts in poetry and my love of angels which was
especially therapeutic when the frustration of Systemic Lupus got to me and
after my Dad loss his battle with Lung Cancer. I am in the midst of moving all
contents to one of my dormant domains
A Mom
Biz. It
will contain a lot of my poetry and stories
about Angle Encounters and information for work at home Mom's.
You could say my little play ground online. A place to put
things that I can't put on my business sites.
I love helping people, even complete strangers, I love being surrounded by
children who I think are the best of God's creations. A little guidance,
patience and love and it's amazing how you can touch their lives and see the
change in their life's direction. I am a budding web designer and hope to be
able to help other
SAHM's become WAHM's.
I own several topic specific internet groups
which has blossomed through the years into my helping out my members to create
an income with their hobbies.

I don't use web hosting from 1 & 1 because I host websites.
However, for the best and cheapest domain prices I go to
them if Mapname doesn't have a special on domain name
registrations. They only charge $5.99 per year per
domain and allows you to maintain all of them under one main
account. The most surprising thing is that this
company actually sends you a welcome letter with
instructions on set up via Postal Service. Plus, they
have a Graphics Archive that is filled with hundreds of
clipart and photos. Clients are allowed to use these
graphics for any use, meaning if you want to use it for
commercial use you can! Not bad for $5.99. DNS
propagation is just a few hours which is a great plus unlike
most who will take up to 72 hours before your site is live. |

My Online Ventures
New set up and new direction. With the numerous online
ventures that I manage I've decided to create one main hub
CMorgan's Web Services.
Web Development has always been a lot of fun for
me although it takes a lot of patience, in the pursuit of this
venture I've put aside my love of crafting.
You'll find the links to all of my sites on
CMorgan's Web Services. This is the site that will house
all information about advertising, news about the other sites,
promotions, etc . . .the newsletter will also be handled through
this website. |

 Treasure
Hunt Co-Operative Marketing Venture
I've decided to create a service to coordinate
Treasure Hunts for business owners who are looking to get more
traffic to their website or to have more internet users know of
their site existence.
If you're familiar with Scavenger Hunts or have
participated in an online Treasure Hunt, this one is a little
different. Business Owners who provide prizes will also
include the ads from all participating sites in the prize
mailing. Site Participants are able to send mini catalogs,
flyers, brochures or business cards to the winner of the
Treasure Hunt.
I provide the set up, get the Treasure Hunt
players, help advertise the schedule Treasure Hunts as well as
create the images for each puzzle piece that will be hidden
within the site participants websites.
So, if you are new or need more traffic to your
website, blog or any site that you maintain and can add HTML
codes in, sign up and be notified when a Treasure Hunt is
scheduled.
If you just like winning prizes and playing games
sign up to be a Treasure Hunter. The sign up for both site
sponsors and players are on-going.
A small fee of $1.99 per site will be charged.
Players of course are free. For more information visit the
site.

 An extension of the Graphics Club is the Graphic Shop also
Royalty Free for Commercial and Personal Usage but on a smaller
scale.
There is no monthly fees involved for this site, graphics are
available for download immediately after purchase.
Graphics provided on this site is absolutely Royalty Free for
Commercial Usage for the enhancement of finished products.
Where most sell these types of graphics for personal usage at $1
per download the price for single download graphics on this site
that can be used for Commercial basis is just $2 and Similar
Product Packs are sold at a discount. The look of this
site will change depending on the season as with most sites,
however the concept will remain the same, Royalty Free
Commercial Usage and Personal Use graphics. This site will
contain created graphics found in the Graphics Club with
seasonal and everyday type themes for whatever type graphics I
think a Commercial Crafter is looking for who is on a tight
budget.
Available for purchase is the newly revised
Coffee Mug Card which I have turned into a Friendship Mug Kit.
Below is one of the Christmas Designs I created for this kit.
|
Friendship Mug Kit
The original template for this
printable craft project was a mug greeting card.
I've tweaked it to allow the
enclosure of a covered single tea packet in the
front pocket and a covered single cocoa mix packet
within the mug itself.
The sample here is one of the
numerous designs created for Christmas Gift Giving
. |
The created graphics are combined from various online artist
where I have purchased Commercial Usage as well as from Public
Domain graphics that I've fixed and soon from 3D graphics that I
will be creating with my new Poser program. I have in
excess of over 10,000 individual graphics that I will use to
create graphics for both websites and the Stock Photo additions
will come from various venues either from purchasing them or
from photos I've taken with my own camera. I use to work
for a Commercial Photography studio and have always loved taking
photos and with the help of the hundreds of Adobe Photoshop
Filters many of the Stock Photos will be enhanced. |

Sick of the Boss If you
are thinking of quitting your job and being your own boss but do not
have the courage to do it yet, read this book. This e-book shows in
detail the success journey of people who resigned or were laid off
from their jobs.

Main
Stream Social Media This report shows an
easy – and free – way to promote your business online and link up
with potential customers and even customers who will spread the good
word about your business. This report gives a quite convincing
argument that social networking sites can be used not only for
socializing but also for promotion. It is not hard to believe,
considering that its claims are backed up by recent interesting
statistics on visits to social networking sites. Though the author
does not state this outright, the potential of social networking
sites as a marketing tool is indeed quite promising, considering
that a small percentage is only doing it at the moment.

Webmaster Crash Course
This free
e-book and software pack is great for the uninitiated on the
Internet. It contains three e-books that will help you on your way
to setting up your own blog or website. The web design checklist is
particularly helpful and has, well, a checklist on how to proceed
with making your blog or website, plus very helpful tips on how to
make it more marketable. There is a guide for those who want to go
on the blogging approach, then another e-book for those who want to
go through the conventional way and use website files and scripts
that have been FTP’d or uploaded to their own webhost. The latter
guide is a guide on how to use the CPanel.
 |
New Year New You You want
to turn your life around, and you want to do it in a thorough way.
This e-book would help and guide you to make your resolutions and
follow through with them. Over and beyond helping you make the list
itself, it’s also a guide to a true metamorphosis. This is an
encouragement for those who want to have a paradigm shift in life:
you don’t need to plod through turning your life around blindly.
This e-book will help you and will help you heal from your previous
life choices.
