Attention Scrapbooking Friends: I have been cleaning out my scraproom......I am really trying to start scrapping again but there is SO MUCH stuff in there that it is overwhelming .....so I have started to de-junk. I thought about having another scrapbook yardsale but I think I am going to do a virtual sale instead. I haven't ironed out all of the details yet but hopefully I will have it together in the next week. For anyone local, I will hold the items and meet you (or you can pick up). If you are not close to me....I will mail it to you first class (which= pretty cheap) shipping. So tell your friends and keep watching for it.
*****Today is Mega Swagbucks Day! Go here to sign up!******
Swagbucks has stepped up their program lately and are now giving away even more bucks and many more times a day than before. I think I have accumulated close to $85 in Amazon gift cards just for searching the web…something I do anyway! You are really missing out if you are not searching through Swagbucks! ~If you are headed to a Regal Cinema today, 8/13, then you'll want to make sure you print off the coupon
HERE to get a box of Raisinets for just a $1. The crazy thing about this is that 1 box of Raisinets is normally around $5 at the Theater.
~Yummy! Boston Market is offering up free smoothies on Saturday only with no purchase necessary. The downside is that it is only offered in the following states:
AZ
CA
CO
FL
GA
KS
MN
MO
NM
NE
NC
TX
VA
As always it doesn’t hurt to call and confirm. This says one per person, while supplies last at participating locations.. No coupon is needed-
but here is a screen shot of the email I received just in case.
~Want to snaz up your facebook page? If so then you will want to check out Pagerage. It has totally FREE layouts for you and they just added some great NEW ones that I think you guys will like. Can't wait to play with this. Click
HERE to get started!!!
~There is a
coupon available to print to get 2 You Like It ice creams (ice cream + 1 mix in) for just $5.
That seems like a great deal to me and this would make a very inexpensive treat with the kiddos or for date night.
To find the coupon just leave your zip code blank and click on foods.
~Here is a new daily deal site called
Eversave (- man these are just popping up left and right aren’t they?-) and you can score a pretty great deal on Organic products today.
They are offering a $30 gift certificate to Babo Botanicals for $12. Even better you can use the certificate for shipping charges! If you are new to
Eversave they give you a $5 credit on your first purchase- so you actually pay $7 for a $30 certificate!
The products are totally organic and designed for infants and children. They also have gift packs for Moms to Be.
I know many of you are into Organic products and these are not inexpensive. I tested this by ordering a soap gift set and a bottle of shampoo/body wash. The total for those two items was $24 and shipping is $6. So basically a gift pack of soaps and a bottle of shampoo would be $7 total shipped to you. If you prefer to get the lotion or two hair care items, you would pay $7 for the gift certificate and then $2 extra- so a total of $9 for both items.
You can register for Eversave and get the daily deals emailed straight to you for your city. Even if your city is not listed it might still be worth registering. Many of these daily deals are available online to purchase so it doesn’t matter where you live. The $5 first time credit is currently available and saved in your account for one year. So if you pass on this deal you can get that $5 into your account to use on the next deal you like!
~You can score a new coupon for a
Free Frutista Freeze from Taco Bell right over here.This one is good with any purchase at Taco Bell and Taco Bell has tons of items for less than $1 so this is really a great deal!
To find the coupon, leave your zip code blank and click on local coupons.
~Click
HERE for a coupon for $5 off your next $15 purchase at TGIFridays!!!
~You can get a
1 year subscription to Parents from Amazon for $4- which is .33 an issue. This is on auto-renewal so that means you need to go back into your account after you order and cancel it or they will automatically charge you for a second year subscription. (If you forget don’t worry-
Amazon will send you tons of email reminders).
~If you’re struggling a great deal with your finances, deep in debt and feeling like you can never get ahead, I cannot highly recommend the
Dave Ramsey Starter Special enough. The
Dave Ramsey Starter Special includes The Total Money Makeover book, Financial Peace book, Dumping Debt DVD, Cash Flow Planning DVD, a cash envelope system and, for a limited time, Dave Ramsey’s Budgeting Software.
Right now, you can get all six products for only $44. The cheapest I’ve ever seen these is $60, so this is an exceptional deal!
~If you still have the McDonald’s coupon for a free smoothie from the paper a few weeks ago, you can take that into
Jamba Juice and they will honor the coupon as well! This is only available in a few select areas: Sacramento, San Diego, LA, SF, Denver, NY, Chicago and Miami through 8/15. You can also get a
$1 off Jamba Juice coupon for the 30oz smoothies that is valid at any location.
~If you live near a
Saks 5th Avenue store you might want to head over to to
Facebook and like Fekkai now.
They will be sending an announcement next week to Facebook fans about registering to get a coupon for a free full size produce of your choice at Saks on August 26th only.
The product has a value of approximately $23 so this is a great freebie! I actually just used a sample of Fekkai shampoo and conditioner this morning and I was thinking how nice the products are.
~Amazon is running a special right now- get 2 years of Redbook Magazine for just $8 total. Shipping is always free on magazines.
You

~
Restaurant.com is at 80% off again, which means you get a $25 gift certificate for $2.
You can just head over to
Restaurant.com and check out the restaurants in your area, then use promo code BIG at checkout.
Be sure to double check any fine print on the restaurant you select. Some have limited hours of availability for the certificates.
~There is a new coupon available for
10% off at Home Depot. This is good for purchases up to $2000- so you can save up to $200! Most Lowe’s Home Improvement stores will accept competitor coupons so you should be able to use it there as well.
~The
Kroger Summer of Savings event is back. You can head over and register and then spin the wheel to see what prize you win!
The prizes are linked to your shopper card and last time there were free food products that people won. This sweepstakes lasts through 9/11 and you can play once per day!
Lucky Kroger shoppers let me know what you get!
~You can get a free sample of Extra Gum- this is a new flavor they are launching called Dessert Delights.
Head
over here to get your sample, you need to enter promo code 353637. For some reason I had to reenter the security word four times before it would accept my request- so just keep trying if you find the same problem.
~There is a new printable available for
$4 off a Leapfrog tag book priced at $9 or more. We are bound to have another sale on these at Target soon- they occasionally price them as low as $9.99.

You could also receive a first peek at new products and VIP coupons for products distributed in your area.
~The Allergy Superstore is offering a
$10 off $10 promotion code when you use the link here. No promo code needed- the $10 will come off after you register to check out.
You can obviously get all sorts of allergy relief items but they also have quite a few other household and personal care items so it is worth looking around. I saw Seventh Generation, Burt’s Bees and lots of other great brands.
I tested this by ordering the Kiss My Face sunscreen for $9.71- my total after the $10 off discount was just $3.24 for shipping!! So this is a great way to get an excellent deal on some green/organic products or medication!
This code is supposed to run through the end of the month but I have a feeling it will be pulled quickly so I would get your orders in!
~There is a new product from Kellogg’s called Mix It and you can get a
.75/1 coupon when you take a brief survey. Apparently these are priced at $1 at Walmart- so they should be about a quarter.
It is a new product so I am sure many stores will be slow to bring it in. I know I haven’t seen these at any of my stores.
~Very fun!! There is a new produce coupon out for Target shoppers (or for any of you that have stores that accept Target coupons). If you are near a Target with produce, this should make lots of items FREE if you just one or two of an item.
$1 off any Produce ItemCheck out all the
deals at Target before heading out.

Hot Pocket Facebook Page and you’ll be able to print a coupon for $1/1 Hot Pocket Sideshots. These are often on sale for less than $1.75, making them a great price after the coupon.

Keith and I are in charge of the "blonde sisters" tonight so I think we will take all of the kids to the
Paulding County Rodeo (you might be a redneck.......). I know we can't just sit at home with all 4 of them....we might make the local news! Ha!!! keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't rain! What are your weekend plans? Whatever they are...hope it's a good one for you!
Just a cute Addi pic (if I do say so myself).
The 3 year old little girl I babysit is battling eye cancer. Malena had to have her eye removed. This is her and a hockey 
I walked in Addi's room the other day and this is what I found. She was trying to put a diaper on her baby! 
4 Crib sheets. These 3 shown and a red one that is on the bed. They do have some washwear because they are sheets, but have tons of life left. No spots or stains.
2 rugs...a solid red and a ladybug pattern. The ladybug patterned rug has a few spots on it.
Mini lady bug tins. I used these for q=tips and things like that.
Ladybug shelf. Ladybug frame and ladybug figurine (holding a flower....very cute).
3 wooden, glittered wall hangings. 2 ladybugs and a dragonfly. Sooooo cute!!!
Changing table cover (pad not included....it will be sold with the changing table).
Good Morning! It is very quiet in my house this morning. There is no one 
....it's nice to meet you!!! I'm sure we will get to know you better in the next few weeks! Let's hope we become great friends!
It just doesn't seem logical that Drew should be going into 4th grade! That's down on the big kid hall.....he doesn't belong down there. But he will be there tomorrow "with bells on"...like he just told me! Bittersweet!
....we all scream for ICE CREAM! We stopped at 
Keith put her on the bench and gave it to her and we didn't hear another peep. She thought she was so big. 
Drew and Addi both enjoying their ice cream cones!
Good to the last drop!
