the giving project + money saving monday #1

so, this project - much more difficult than anticipated. i haven't given up on it though... finding a balance between work, school and life has been very difficult. on the plus side? my 3 month long cold is almost officially gone. no more coughing and i have my normal non-nasaly voice back. hooray!

i spent a good 30-40 minutes on skype with my best friend yesterday - so i'm feeling pretty good and feel like i'm walking on sunshine. i can FEEL things coming to an end.. and i'm just... in SUCH anticipation of it coming to pass. i leave you with those happy thoughts and some REALLY GREAT DEALS TODAY!

MONEY SAVING MONDAY - these are deals that are just too good to pass up!!

Sears Portrait Studio offers a 16" x 20" Custom Portrait for free via this printable coupon. Even better, the coupon also waives the session fee and takes 20% off your purchase, should you decide to buy more prints. That's a savings of at least $85 and tied with our mention from two weeks ago as the best deal we've seen for this type of portrait from Sears. Deal ends March 31.
