Copper has a dogster account and they sent us a coupon to get a free photo book from Shutterfly, a $30 value. When I signed up, I also got 15 free 4×6″ prints and free shipping on orders over $15 so I took advantage of that. After my photo book, I made a magnet and a mouse pad with pictures of Copper on them, totaling $17 after tax. So I ended up getting 15 pictures, a photo book, a mouse pad and a magnet for $17.
It’s a great way to order gifts with photos on them. I love this website and definitely recommend it. You can always play around with your pictures and see how you like everything before ordering.

If you think your website is amazing, you should join a community for other designers like yourself. Plus, if I refer enough people, I’ll get $10. It won’t hurt, right?

I’m experimenting with the pen tool in Illustrator. I’ve never used that one before because it’s quite confusing for someone new to the program. I finally got the hang of it with the help of a tutorial from Veerle. There’s a video of her using it and I’ve been practicing for the past two days. I’m getting much better. Right now I’m working on the mushrooms from Fantasia. So far there’s three of them and I like the second one the best. I still have some finishing touches for the third. I wish I had more creativity right now to draw on my own, but unfortunately, I don’t.

A really good resource is The Blog World. Amanda has lots of tutorials, tricks, etc. for bloggers that are really helpful. I have it bookmarked and check it regularly to see what things she posted. It definitely warrants a visit.
I’m working on mine and Don’s budget. I’m trying to keep track of all our purchases in 2006. What goes to the car, what goes to food, etc. It’s slow-going. I’ve finally found a program I like that’s free. It’s got a reports feature that will give me graphs and that’s really what I’ve been looking for. Now I’ve just got to type everything in.
I’m also loving the Firefox extension Stumble Upon. It’s great. I’ve found a lot of good websites through it.
