The Face I Love the Most…

I love this little face.

You know how a baby’s smile can just completely change your day? Like the sun coming out from behind the clouds, you know?

If you’re a momma, I know you know what I mean…

I love the chubby cheeks.

I love the way she scrunches up her nose when she giggles.

I love those first few kinda-crooked baby teeth.

I absolutely am in LOVE with these pretty, and totally unexpected blue eyes. Her dad and I both have brownish-greenish eyes, with dark brown hair. And here we are with a little blue-eyed blondie!

But I love that her hair is already coming in darker, and at a year old now, here eyes won’t change… So she’ll have dark brown hair like momma, with those startling blue eyes. So pretty.

Do you have favorite pic’s of the faces you love?

If so, it’s about time that you put them on canvas, and turn them into amazing pieces of art in your home.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the deal: Get a FREE 8×10 Photo Canvas from Canvas People, or get $50 cash off of the price of any other size print. Yes it’s legit. And yes, I can tell you from personal experience, they are awesome.

Here’s how it works:

Sign in at Canvas People, and upload your favorite photo.
Decide whether you want the Classic 8×10 Canvas Print for Free, or upgrade to a larger size. {I got the 11×14 size, and this time I’m getting an even bigger one. They make SUCH a dramatic statement on your wall}
Remember- With the FREE 8×10, you will have to pay shipping, which is about $14 bucks. But where else would you ever get an 8×10 photo printed on canvas for that price, shipped, you know? I’ve looked, and this is the best deal.
Then you can add cool features like the Pop Art styling, sepia tones, etc.
Once you’ve got it all set up the way you want it, order it, and your credit will automatically be applied. Easy peasy!

I love our Canvas Print!

We ordered one of these of Abby when she was a baby, and I have gotten so darn many compliments on it. The quality is WAAAAY better than we had expected… This is a gallery finish, on really amazing quality canvas, and even comes with the accessories for hanging on the wall.

Have you ordered a Canvas People print before? Share some fun ideas for using your FREE credit…

A family photo Canvas for the grandparents this Christmas?
I saw someone with a baby boy, and they did three photos of him, each one holding a wooden letter, spelling his name- SAM – to hang in the nursery.

Share your ideas too….

Learn How to Save 75% off Household Products- Without Clipping Coupons!

Have you heard of Yaysave Yet?

I kind of consider myself the master of freebies and deals, {check out my profile on Cheap Sally to vote for me as a savings-master…} and am always shocked to learn that there is something that I DON’T know about yet!! {Lol, but only kind of…} So of course I was surprised to learn about Yaysave yesterday— It is amazing, and I don’t know how I didn’t hear about this sooner!

Yaysave Basics:

Here are the main points you need to know about why Yaysave rocks my socks-

Yaysave helps you save on your “everyday” type of items. Prices up to 75% less than Amazon, Walmart, Soap.com, Drugstore.com, and Alice.com. And since you KNOW that those sites have awesome deals, you realize quickly how great the prices are at Yaysave.
They show you right on the site how the prices compare to other sites, so you can be sure you’re getting a great deal. Example: Luv’s Diapers, $7.99, 37% less than Diapers.com.
They are PayPal certified, so you know that your information is safe.
They have two great ways to use their service, depending on your needs- You can upgrade to the paid membership {SOOO worth it, and that’s what I did} or get a basic membership for FREE!!

Difference between the Memberships:

The basic free account is great if you just want to try out the site, but I could tell right away that I’ll be using this a TON, so I wasted NO TIME in upgrading to the Premium Membership.
Usually the Premium Membership is $29.99 per year, but right now {and I have NO idea how long it will last} it’s only $19.99 to join.

Here’s what you get:

All accounts get FREE Shipping on orders $100 bucks or more. PREMIUM Members get FREE Shipping on ALL purchases.
Everyone saves on products- 10-70% off other sites prices. But the PREMIUM Membership gets you an additional 2-15% off on many products, on top of the low prices, as a bonus.
Everyone gets their products shipped in 1-2 days. But the PREMIUM Members get it shipped FREE every time.
AND… One of the coolest parts- Yaysave has partnered with another great frugal-freebie site, so you get 500 BONUS FREE Swagbucks when you join as a premium member!! Since 500 Swagbucks is enough to get a $5 Amazon gift card {with 50 points left over!} that makes your paid membership even cheaper!!! And my friends tell me that they do special promo’s pretty often, where you get bonus Swagbucks with purchase. And you know I LOVE me some Swagbucks!

Love it, right?

You are guaranteed to find the lowest prices, since you can see the price comparisons right on the screen. If you sign up as a premium member, you’ll get bonus discounts on top of those savings. You can get FREE shipping, and it’s lightning fast.

Even if you only sign up for the FREE Yaysave membership right now, you’ll still be saving… It’s just a few lines to fill out, and BAM, you’re in, and can start checking out the sweet deals. So it’s easy to see more, and decide if upgrading is the right choice for you too.

This is how I’m using it:

I’ll check it out a couple times per week, and just check for items at a rock bottom price. When I find one, I’ll order a few, if I know we’ll use them. Since I have the FREE SHIPPING with the PREMIUM Membership, I can order just one item if that’s all I find, and it’s still free to ship. That way, I can slowly build a new stockpile of household items, at a SUPER discounted price. Plus, you can sign up at a site like Deals.com to get alerts sent to you with new Yaysave Coupon Codes, to save even MORE.

To get started, sign up for Swagbucks if you haven’t already, so you get your bonus points. Then head over to Yaysave and get YOUR Premium Account today too!

Are YOU using Yaysave?

I’d love to hear any great tips to using this site, or info that you have. Like I said, I’m a brand new member… And I like to know the best tricks to maximizing my savings on any site that I use!

Be sure to use the social buttons to share this with your friends, because remember….

Friends don’t let friends pay full price!

How a $50 Deal Coupon Can Lead to Over $1,000 in Spending!

The “DEAL” that Spawns Spending….

We’ve all done it, right? You see a really amazing 80% off deal on the cutest baby stuff over at Totsy, or find a killer designer dress for you, for only $50 on Haute Look, or another great bargain on Groupon, and feel like you totally scored the greatest buy.

Then it happens…

Suddenly, that one great buy leads to MORE shopping…. The baby dress you bought was a steal, but you realize that you need shoes to go with it. Oh, and tights. And something for her hair, right?

Or maybe it’s YOUR dress… And you realize you just don’t have the right heels for it, so you’ve got to make a quick run to the mall to find some, so you can wear it to a big event. But while at the mall, you see a great deal on jeans, and pick up a couple pairs. Then a clearance sale. Then a quick snack.

You can see where this is headed, right?

To learn some great tips on how to deal with this type of “Deal Sprawl”, check out today’s new article on Learnvest. {Which, by the way, is one of my VERY favorite sites. Sign up for their newsletter, and you can then join the FREE online — You’ll love it!}

Today’s article covers ways to avoid this shopping mess:

Insider tips to using Groupon and other deal sites, plus what to do if you regret your purchase.
Ten savvy ways to avoid impulse purchases.
Do you have money toxic friends? Read about this phenomenon, and how to avoid it.

Check it out, and let me know… Do you have this problem too?
