I bought 24 items:

Normal Total: $85.63

I Spent: $24.11

Ok, folks, I even measured my receipts and I have 3 feet of receipts, seriously that’s a whole yard!  I purchase the Sunday newspaper so I get the coupon sections and then I check the following websites for the sales and coupon match-ups.  Basically, you can check out the website(s) for the items on sale for the week and the list of coupons you can use for the items.  You can find the coupons from the newspaper sections and online.  If they are online, the websites give an easy link for you to print them.  These websites are some of my favorites:

1. We have a new printing process.  Our stationery products are now printed on a digital press.  This means super high quality printing (the best you can get) on a heavier matte paper.  I am thrilled with the quality and you will be, too.  Plus, now we are printing in color on the back so the cards aren’t just cute on the front… the back is cute, too!

2. We have a new method of designing and producing our clothing items.  We know you are going to LOVE them!  We’ll have more on that subject to come in the future.  We will add them to our website once we complete number 3…

3. We are updating our website!  We just can’t wait to get it up and running.  On this new system, you will be able to customize most of the products on your own when you purchase them (like change fonts, add your text, etc) and see an instant “proof”.  How cool is that!  We have created it step-by-step from what it will do and say when you click on something to what every box and button will look like.  We have had some wonderful help with the actual behind the scenes process of making all our visions work.  I just want to share a little sneak peek…

Here’s what the front page will look like:  Basically the same “look” but we have made it a little wider to fit in more content.  The image with the platter will rotate like our previous one, but you will be able to click on the numbers to go back or forward to see a slide you missed… think sale info and special coupon codes there!!!

If you click on the categories at the top, it will bring you to some pretty cool pages that show the categories and some images of the products.  Yes, that is a turkey dressed as Santa on the bottom right.  It started out as a joke, but I think I may leave him.  He’s trying to be the “seasonal” turkey… I just need to add some more holidays to him :)

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek.  We will have it up and running in the near future… we are thinking it will probably be another month though before it is ready.  I was just so excited I wanted to share it with you, after all, I’ve been quiet about it for 3 months+ already!

Hope you have a great week!
