Hey digiworld! How is everyone doing? I hope everyone is great! I just wanted to share a little bit information on one of my other passions! I love scrapbooking, who doesn’t? But my other joy is saving money for my family! The way that I have figured out how to do that is by taking advantage of sales and coupons! I’m sure there are tons of you out there doing this! And some may want to get involved but you really aren’t sure where to start. Well, then I have some really great news for you. I’m gonna help in giving you some awesome resources!

First off is my favorite web site for couponing. She compiles a list of coupons to print or clip out of the newspaper and then matches them up with sales! She is amazing! Her website is Hip2save.com. She even has a list of freebies! Who doesn’t love freebies?!? I know I do!

I wanted to share one of the deals with you. It happens to be with Artscow and is pretty sweet! Right now if you become a fan of Artscow on Facebook you can get a free personalized photo watch with free shipping after you get 3 friends to become fans too! Free photo watch?!? Count me in!

Another of my favorites is Myfrugaladventures.com. She is great at posting some amazing deals too!

If you are associated with the military then you need to check out Hip2serve.com She compiles a list of freebies for the military and also gives a list of Commissary and PX deals! How amazing is that?!?

I hope that if you are interested in couponing that you might learn something by checking out these sites. I know there are tons more sites out there, but these are the ones that I’ve found that I really enjoy! With the way the economy is, who can’t help but save a few bucks? Thanks for letting me ramble about one of my other passions!

Melissa here bringing you this month’s challenge! Sorry I’m getting this up a bit late, but I have an abcessed tooth that I got pulled today and it has knocked me on my bottom! But I’m getting better!

Anyways, this month I chose to lift Claudia’s (claudi) “my precious girl.” You have until January 31 at 11:59 pm EST to complete your page.

Also don’t forget to stop by the blog tomorrow because Suzy will be announcing winners from the Facebook and newsletter drawings. And she will also be letting us know who won last month’s challenge! Sounds pretty good huh?

Well, hope you all have a good night/ day I’m off to bed again! Happy scrapping!

Happy Monday to everyone!!! Sorry this is being posted today! Life got the better of me!! LOL You ever have one of those days when you think about something all day long, but never remember to do it? It happens to me alot! LOL. Anyways, today I thought we would talk about some recipes, Christmas ones to be exact! At this time of year I love baking!!! I don’t know what happens, but its like as soon as December hits that means its time to start baking until the new year! LOL

This got me thinking. What kind of traditions do you have at this time of year? Do you bake with your children? Do you remember baking with your mom when you were younger? And what is your favorite food that brings the “Christmas” Spirit to you? For me, it is the smell of snickerdoodles!!! I love those cookies and to me they are so easy to bake! I’m in the middle of baking now since I have 7 dozen cookies to bake and package up before Friday!!! I know crazy right? Well, we are shipping homemade cookies to our soldiers who are in Afghanistan!

Alright now to the recipe!
