Shopping Alert....Site Alert

Christmas is just around the corner...whether you celebrate IT or not, there are still huge specials going on right now that will help you with your crafting needs!  Most companies will assure delivery before Christmas if you order by 12/17...  If you don't care whether you get it or not, check out these specials that are starting..you are sure to get something that you have been wanting!   So, lets get started!  

Oh my.....I will start with Oh My Crafts where deadline for first class shipping to arrive by Christmas is today!  They have got really great specials folks, let me tell you, make sure you use code HOLIDAY10 to save an additional 10% off your order!  Priority mail orders need to be placed by Dec 17th, and for express mail shipments order by Dec 20th.  Plus get free shipping on all orders over $50 or more, so make sure you get your orders placed!  

One place I have not talked about a lot is Dick Blick but this Friday is Free Shipping Day with them, so make sure you get that site on your list for tomorrow!   Plus they have coupons on their site if you spend more than $99....get 10% off your order with code CCPN, for orders above $149 get 15% off with code CCPN, and orders above $150 get 20% off with code CCPP...and with the codes, you get FREE SHIPPING either way it goes, so make sure you put them on your list for any artist in your family...they have great scrapbooking supplies!  

I talk about this site a lot, mainly because this is the die cut machine I have used for years... Sizzix Outlet shop is great for anyone who just needs a quick and easy machine.  Mine was purchased at Michaels using the 40% off coupon, so if this is an option, utilize it.  I like having the physical dies in that size so I can quickly use it and then put it away...the Sizzlets are great because they are smaller dies that you can use with a regular machine and a piece that fits in the machine.  

If you need a quick project idea, this idea from Memory Makers Magazine...tweak to be what you need, maybe a persons name with special photos and thoughts of that person, or pick a word and scrapbook that...maybe do someones last name, with places for photos of that family...  Great idea, totally loving this one and have put on my list of things I need to make!  

If you need decorating ideas...baking cookies....or anything else relating to Christmas, make sure you check out the wonderful ideas that Better Homes and Gardens has for their 100 days of Holidays!    Their selection of things you can look at is great...quick ornaments, handmade decorations, food gifts to give, great cookies...just about anything you need!  
In this picture, I love the paper pocket made to hold the utensils in...what a great idea!   They also have a darling Santa Hat place card idea, and a beautiful idea for a cheap decoration (see #4) made out of an artificial tree, galvanized pail, white and silver ornaments and lights...makes a beautiful centerpiece for your table!  
If you are on a budget, really check out this site for just about any type of help on whatever your experience level is, or whatever you are wanting to make...this site and area of the site is certain to help anyone!  

I have officially fallen in love with this paper selection from Two Peas In A Bucket...being able to do way too many things with this color selection!  The paper is from the Crazy Love paper line, this is just one of many patterns they have!  Also available are chipboard embellishments that go with the paper line, so make sure you check this wonderful line out!  Plus they have great Christmas related papers and embellishments to be able to create your wonderful memories on, once you your photos developed!  




Back to Christmas, but...for those of you who need decorating ideas, and need them CHEAP...take a look at this great idea from Ehow on how to make a free holiday centerpiece!  They have great ideas on just about any subject, make sure you check them out!  

If need any last minute things from Paper Wishes be sure to look at your list...they have flat rate shipping for $5!  Download a free Ebook right from their home page, and check out their latest catalog right online as well!  Great products and prices, be sure to take a look at what they have!  

My last site is Scrapbooks, etc, make sure you check out their darling gift tags, holiday layouts, gift ideas and much more!  They have a wonderful sketch right now, plus many other great features that something is sure to spark your creativity...check this site out for sure!  


To end things...I will tell you that I have just found out that tomorrow (Friday...12/18) is free shipping day at many different sites...  Check out Overstock.com and some of your favorite sites to pick up what you can and get the free shipping on top of it all!    Scrapbook.com will give you until Monday at noon to place an order to get here in time for Christmas...  but for those of you who do not celebrate the holiday, this gives you a day where you can spend money and not have to pay for it to get to you, so utilize it!  


I hope you have a great holiday season, no matter what you celebrate!
