Look What I Made...

>> Thursday, September 30, 2010






I made this hanging plaque out of old outlet covers.  It's been such a hit over at my new craft blog Spray Paint Queen that I thought I'd share it with you guys as well!  What do you think?  It sure beats tossing these in the trash!

Frugal Ramblings....

I've been looking for some Personalized Holiday stickers for our cards this year.  I've been looking for discount codes on sticker printing online.  Last year I used holiday themed stamps with our name on them.  I was able to get these at a great bargain through Vistaprint.  I think they added a really cute touch to the cards.  I've also considered making my own cards this year.  

Magnet printing is something I've thought about as well.  Sometimes you can just slip them right into a card.  We've given magnets as gifts with a kid drawing on them or hand print.  If your child takes Art class at school those little drawings are perfect for printing on magnets.  I suppose bookmark printing would be just as genuine. These are especially nice for the Grandparents. 

Another thing I've done is made photo books as gifts.  These can easily be done online at many of the photo sites like Shutterfly or Snapfish.  They have tons of deals and discounts on a regular basis. You can add your own lines, borders, colors and other personalization.  Most will even ship it directly to the receiver.  Do you personalize your greeting cards, envelopes or gifts?

Have You Heard of Become.com?

 I recently discovered a neat site called Become.com.  Even though I've just discovered it, it's been around since 2004.   It's basically an online shopping search engine.  I was just looking around and found that if I pick Halloween Costumes for instance, it'll show photos and prices as well as what stores have this item.  It kind of allows you to bargain shop without leaving your seat or jumping from one website to another. 

I'm still learning what it's all about but thought I'd share it with you guys to see what you thought. They seem to have everything from tablecloths to an auto backup camera to a graber outback bike rack to a simple Halloween Tiger kids costume.   They even have a clearance section to boot!

Have you heard of it or used it?  Let us know what you thought!  In the meantime, I have my eyes set on some of their organizers.

Ebates - What is and Why Join Ebates?!

First of all, Ebates is totally FREE Ebates is an awesome way to get cash back on purchases you make online!  Just for signing up you get $5.00 put into your account.  There is a LONG  list of stores to choose from.   In fact there has only been 1 store that wasn't on the list for me to get cash back from.  The top 20 most popular stores are:  Ebay, Target, JC Penny, Overstock, Drugstore.com, Kohls, Walmart, Macy's, QVC, Staples, Barnes & Noble.com, Sears, Victoria Secret, Nordstrom, Newegg, Old Navy, Buy.com, Best Buy, HSN, and Sephora.  Don't see your favorite store?  No worries, they have over 900 stores to choose from!

How does it work?   Well, retailers choose Ebates to offer incentives for shoppers to shop at their store to gain new and valuable customers.  These incentives = out to CASH back!!  It's kind of like getting paid commission for shopping. One of my fav's that I get my cash back from is Lancome.  Each time I've ordered through Lancome, I've literally gotten back at least 10% CASH back from each purchase I made.  In addition to cash back they also offer exclusive coupons for you to use ex. free shipping, 20% off, etc.

How do you get your cash?  You can get your cash back in the form of a check OR directly to your Pay Pal account OR you can have it directed to charity.  Every 3 months they will send you a cash payment based on your purchases during the previous quarter.  For example, so far this quarter, I have $22.17 in my Ebates account.  This amount will continue to add up for the quarter, and then in November I will get a Big Fat deposit into my Pay Pal account.

Ebates is truly just another way to keep pocketing your dollars!  If you want to see for yourself, just go on over to Ebates and sign up.  You'll get $5.00 put into your account just for doing so - no harm in that.  However, in order to cash that out you would need to make a purchase and have a minimum of $10 in your Ebates account or it will rollover to the next quarter.  

Browse around the site, check out the stores, and see what you think.  Once you make your first purchase, your cash back will show up in your account with in 48 hours (once the store verifiys the purchase).  Then you are on your way.  

This is especially a great time to join as the Holidays are approaching. If you do any of your Holiday shopping online this is the way to go!  You can even order flowers through Ebates for Grandma in Nevada and still get cash back.  So, like I say, keep pocketing your dollars!!
