Create for a cure with Snapfish

It's always nice to be able to tell my readers about truly meaningful projects like the "She Colors My Day" Project from Snapfish by HP.

The effort allows you to create and design a personalized "She Colors My Day" photo book (perfect for Mother's Day!) with 50 percent of the proceeds benefitting the project and the Entertainment Industry Foundation's (EIF) Women's Cancer Research Fund.



With the "You Color My Day" photo books, you can make a spectacular gift complete with uploaded photos, artwork and custom notes for whoever it is that adds color to your day. And if ordered by May 1, you can get yours just in time for Mother's Day!

Snapfish customers can also buy the "She Colors My Day" fantasy bubble bath by Philosophy and download Amy Grant's song of the same title by clicking here. Philosophy will donate 100 percent of the net proceeds to benefit the cause. How's that for creating for a cure?

If you'd like to enter for a chance at a "She Colors My Day" photo book of your own, please leave me a comment telling me about the person who colors your day. Entries will be accepted until midnight (Mountain Time!) on April 28. Good luck!

The "Oops, I forgot!" contest

I'm going crazy getting ready for a move that just keeps moving itself up on the calendar, Buttercup has been sick for a week, I'm getting ready for a week-long vacation in a few days for both me and the sick kid, and the Salvation Army now knows me by name.

And in the midst of this little cluster-bleep, I still have a few blogs like this one that just keep getting pushed off of the priority pile. Oh, and those pesky little holidays like Valentine's Day? Totally forgot about it! (No joke, either....the Hubby's been out of state for three months!)

I know I can't be the only one who woke up today only to realize that I messed up by forgetting to get a nice gift in the mail for my Hubby. (Or to even buy one, to be perfectly honest...)But at least he forgot my gift, too, which makes us even and takes us both off of the hook.

But what about you? Do you need a special something to get back in the good graces of your special Valentine? Even if it is a day (or four) late, a well thought-out gift that shows how much you care every day of the year may take the sting out of not having had anything to open on the actual calendar day.

My suggestion is the Personalized Photo Book from CVS Pharmacy. And I've got one coupon for a lucky winner for one 6X8 photo book which will fit up to 54 pictures for $12.99.



This is really such a great idea and CVS offers customers choices from $5.99 to $14.99 with the option of adding up to ten additional pages. You bring in your USB drive, CD, or memory card, choose your photos, rearrange your photos on the template, add some text if you like, and select your desired backgrounds. And voila! An perfect belated Valentine's Day gift.(Or early Easter present...depending on how you want to play this one.)

So here's the deal. I want to get this coupon in the mail for one lucky winner as soon as possible. All I need you to do is leave me a comment WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS!!!! That's it. You can tweet the contest or blog about it for an extra entry if you'd like, but be sure to leave me a separate comment for each entry.

Contest ends at noon on Monday, Feb. 16, which will give me plenty of time to get this coupon in the mail for our 4 p.m. mail call.

So what are you waiting for?
