The American Girl Cyber Monday Sale Has Started

If you have an American Girl fan at your house, you know it gets expensive. American Girl has very few sales. Occasionally, there is a free shipping coupon. In my opinion, they only have one good sale and it is Cyber Monday. The sale just started a couple of hours ago and many items are gone already. You'll have to be quick. Last year the item I wanted most disappeared out of my cart during checkout.
Discounts are good. The outfit pictured above is usually $24 and was marked down to $7. It is the complete outfit. There are other similar deals. Mini dolls are half price too. This sale is today only, so hurry.

Tiny Prints Christmas Cards - New Designs and a 20% off Code

It occured to me about two weeks ago that I needed to start thinking about getting the kids' pictures taken for this year's Christmas cards. I got online to book our appointment and found four time slots available before Christmas. I hadn't purchased their usual matching outfits yet and spent a stressful few days making purchases for our Christmas pictures that were now scheduled the first week of November.

Our pictures turned out great, so now it is time to turn my focus to choosing the Christmas cards. I have a cute wire card holder that I hang on our wall each holiday season. I love getting picture cards from friends that I wish I saw more. My children LOVE looking at all of the kids in the pictures on the cards, even the ones they don't know. They take the cards off and look at them every day. Therefore, I have to order photo cards.

This Christmas, I will be ordering my photo cards from Tiny Prints. They have many new card designs in their Christmas line-up this year. I was immediately drawn to this throwback Rudolph card (really the whole vintage section).

I love it. It takes me back. It reminds me of the packaging on the Christmas items at Grandma's house.

I also love this ornament shaped card. It is different and would definitely get noticed.

I think these tri-fold cards with the spinning picture are a cute idea.

There are so many cards to choose from and so many that I love. In the end, I know I will end up choosing one that I can put multiple pictures on. We already spent the money on the pictures. I might as well display them. So, perhaps it will be this one...

Or this one.

There are even cards for the furbabies.

Hmm. I'm still thinking it has to be Rudolph. Family and friends, you may have just caught a sneak peek at what we will be sending your way.

They have hundreds of cards to choose from. Tiny Prints cards start at only $.69 a piece and right now (through 11/15) they have a code, 20save, for 20% off your entire order. You can sort cards by the theme, the number of photos you want to use, color, designer and much more. Browse their holiday and Christmas cards and I am certain you will find something you like.

*Disclosure - I contacted Tiny Prints after looking at their cards and asked if I might review their Christmas collection. I will receive some of my Christmas cards in exchange for the review.

DownEast 20th Anniversary Sale

DownEast is celebrating 20 years with a $13 and under sale. It is going on now through October 8th in the parking lot of the Provo store.

Target Sale

I went to my favorite store, Target, tonight and was surprised to find 75% off signs everywhere I went. Bedding, bedding sets, bath, summer toys, a few back to school items, the dollar section, electronics....There was a lot and I purchased quite a bit. As I was checking out, the cashier remarked that I had found some good things. I mentioned that I was surprised to find so much on sale and she said that it had just gone on sale at some point today. Target stores seem to vary from place to place, but it wouldn't hurt to check out the one nearest you!

Two New Goosebumps Adventures Arrive on DVD Sept. 13th. Win a Copy of Each From Twentieth Century Fox!

Two winners will win a copy of each of these new Goosebumps titles available on DVD September 13th!

Get goose bumps and keep the light on to ward off the ghosts, goblins, mutants and madness as Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant and Goosebumps: Ghost Beach scare their way onto DVD September 13th, 2011 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

With over 300 million books sold, R.L Stine's wildly successful children's stories (www.scholastic.com/goosebumps) come to life with two all-new terrifying tales. First, Attack of the Mutant includes "Attack of the Mutant Parts 1 & 2" and follows Skipper Matthews and his awesome comic book collection. Skipper's favorite is The Masked Mutant, the story of and evil, power-mad super villain who is out to gain control of the universe. One day, while lost in a strange part of town, Skipper discovers a building that magically disappears. Has Skipper read one too many comic books? Or does The Masked Mutant really exist? The DVD also features "Phantom of the Auditorium," a frightening story about a young actress who is thrilled after winning the lead in the school play...until the nightmares begin as there is talk of a real phantom who has haunted the auditorium for years.

Next, Ghost Beach includes "The Barking Ghost" and follows Cooper Holmes, a young man who is scared of just about everything. His father says he is the only kid to scare himself on Halloween! But as he moves into a new house, this time Cooper is not just scared of his own shadow. In "Be Careful What You Wish For," class klutz Samantha Byrd is the laughingstock of the girls' basketball team. But now, Smantha has found someone who will grant her three wishes. Too bad she isn't more careful as now Sam's wishes are turning her life into a living nightmare! Lastly, "Ghost Beach" focuses on Jerry, who is thrilled by the prospect of exploring the dark, eerie old cave he discovered down by the beach. When he hears the story of a 300 year-pld ghost living inside, Jerry must decide if he will believe the legend or dismiss it as a silly made-up tale.
Watch these latest spooky Goosebumps stories on September 13th...if you dare!

Valco Quad on Shnoop Today for $198

The Valco Quad stroller is on Shnoop today for $198. Retail is $500. I don't have experience with the Quad model, but when I was buying my stroller I had narrowed it down to the Valco Tri-Mode or the Mountain Buggy. I ended up buying the Mountian Buggy because I found a better deal, but if I had found this deal.... According the Valco, this stroller has all of the great features of the tri-mode and more. It can also accomodate the doubles seat to turn it into a double. If you need a stroller, or just want a new one, look into the Valco.

The KMart Additional 50% Off Toy Clearance Has Started!

KMart has a toy clearance sale twice a year. During this sale, all clearance items are an additional 50% off. I went in today and found a large display at the front of the store, an aisle of clearance in the toy department and a section of clearance toys that had been placed in the garden center. They also had 15 or so carts waiting for a place to go. Many items in the carts had clearance stickers and I suspect the others will soon. According to the employees at the store nearest me, they are adding new items to the clearance daily.

Some of the items I saw today were: the Toy Story LeapFrog Tag Readers for $15, Tag books for $5, iXL cartridges, vtech cartridges, a couple of Leapster Explorer games for $10, Play-Doh, Handy Manny, Imaginext, Polly Pocket, Barbie, Toy Story and a lot more. I believe that the clearance only lasts one week.
