Mixbook and PhotoBookGirl Giveaway

PhotoBookGirl is having a giveaway on her site for 3 $100 gift vouchers to Mixbook!  I still need to start the book chronicling the journey to our wedding day.  One day life will slow down and I can start it, right?

Anyway, I would love to win one of these vouchers!  Mixbook looks like a great site and will allow many pages in a book which is what I will need.

Crossed fingers and hoping I win.

Another Giveaway

Well, I got married this past Saturday :)  As I mentioned in my last post, I'm planning on making a wedding photo book.  This book will start with the Engagement trip and include showers, engagement pics, wedding, and honeymoon pictures.  I'm so excited but this will be a HUGE project.  Photobook Girl is having another Blurb coupon giveaway.  I will definitely need it to offset some of the cost of this large book. 

BTW, I did make the guest sign-in book and got so many compliments on it!  It was beautiful and easy to make. 

Find more info on the giveaway (and photobooks) here:

PhotoBookGirl

She has a lot of great information on many different photobook sites.  She has done all the research so we don't have to!

Guess who has been couponing!!!!

I have recently started couponing.  Sandy and I have decided to do a little friendly competition to see who can save the most.  This is my second trip to CVS.  Two Sundays ago, I did ok, but not a great job.  I spend about $80 and saved $40.  A good job but not excellent. 

Today I spent $16.10 and saved $67.58!  That's AWESOME!!  Below you will find Transaction #1 which includes toilet paper, antiperspirant (two men and two women), Puffs with Vick's (which I LOVE), and toothpaste.  I earned $10.54 extraBucks to use on Transaction #2.  Following the first picture, you will see Transaction #2 which includes 6 Lean Cuisines and 4 candy bars (interesting combo).  I received $5 extraBucks to use on a later purchase.  I had planned a third transaction, but they did not have the Aquafina water so I decided to wait.    

All in all, I am very excited about today's trip!  I hope to do just as well when I go grocery shopping.
