40% Off Photo Books & Calendars At Picaboo
If you’re thinking photo books for gifts this holiday, you’ll want to sign in now for the Picaboo offer–they’re the highest-quality of the photo book lines, and I don’t see discounts from them too often. This is the LAST DAY (11.30) for the offer–it’s 40% off all photo books–even the expensive leather bound fellas. Since I gave up on scrapbooking (Editor’s note: there’s only so many hot glue gun burns any one person can take) I’ve been thrilled and grateful for photo books. After experimenting with 5 different companies, Picaboo’s definitely the best for ease of creating the books and the finished quality. Click the box below to get started…

$55.00 Gift Certificate From Canvas People!
Friends of TTW: This offer is coming down tomorrow (Tuesday)–please order TODAY if it looks good to you. I want to make sure you get it!
Coolness! Sometimes I’ll run through something first, just to make sure it’s what they claim before I post it here. I’ve seem some pretty sad attempts at picture conversion to canvas…but not this time! Canvas People is offering a $55.00 free credit for a canvas of your picture. Basically, that means a free-bee 8×10, or the $55.00 credit applies to any size above that. I ordered the 16×16 of our family picture for $23.99. I priced that same size and deal at a local shop and it would have cost $235.99. Yeeee! You will need to pay shipping along with this offer. The turnaround time was quick, and you can add effects like sepia tone, pop art (think Andy Warhol) etc. along with it. Click here to get started, and please upload a picture of the finished product, I want to start a That Went Well family photo gallery!

Living With Diabetes? Here’s An Incredible Resource: Diabetes Connect
Diabetes has never hit home as brutally as when I found out that sweet little Max, one of the twin’s dearest friends, was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. There’s an explosion of kids with diabetes right now, and all of us have at least one friend or two who’ve been diagnosed as adults. I started doing research for my girlie Jannelle a couple of months ago and found Diabetes Connect–it’s my favorite site so far for advice, new research, discounts on important medical equipment, free-bees, and best of all support. It’s so much better when you can share your experiences with someone who really gets it. Join the community here.
Avoid The Creepy Blind Dates!
I still remember the blind date I went on where–after a terrible dinner–my date leaned over, plucked one of my waist-length hairs off my head and ignoring my startled yelp, proceeded to floss with it. I kid you not. Wouldn’t it be nice to circumvent that part of the dating proccess? eHarmony is offering something lovely for 35′s and older–sign up, review your matches for free, all without a credit card or penny spent! Get yourself back in the dating game from the security of your computer–and for free. Go here to get started.

New Awesomeness From Groupon.com
The Awesome that is Groupon.com continues…today’s deal is killer! They say it best…
“Household grime, if left unchecked, will inevitably develop into miniature civilizations whose complex network of treaties erupt into devastating house-wide reenactments of World War I. Today’s Groupon spares you the trouble of tripping over tiny trenches: for $25, you get two labor hours of residential or commercial cleaning from Cleaning Direct (up to a $50 value). The company provides service to all of the Salt Lake Valley, as well as a 10-mile radius outside of that. All cleaning supplies are included except for trash bags and products to be restocked or refilled.”
The last housecleaning I was foolish enough to get cost $150.00 and they still didn’t make the beds! This rules. Sign up here, it’s free, of course, and they’ll send you one great deal a day from 50% to 90% off. No spam. No selling your info. We’ve taken advantage of deals like 70% off sushi, 85% off movie tickets, and 50% off fine steaks and roasts. Just type in your zip code and see what they’ve got for you!

20% Off At StyleCraft Frames
The biggest lesson I’ve learned from all the organizational shows: stuff in your drawers is junk–the things you choose to honor by displaying them makes them treasure. I found a beautiful old set of tools that The Todd’s grandfather used. John MacLean helped design some of the heating elements for the first space suits for NASA! What better way to honor him than by making a really lovely shadowbox with the tools?
The Todd and I toured StyleCraft Frames the other day, and I’m taking Grandpa John’s tools down to Kyle to have him make the shadowbox. It’s an amazing place–they have their own huge workshop/factory thingie in back and do all their work onsite. I saw some exquisite, custom work. I could tell that Kyle’s team “gets it,” by the respectful way they handled some of these items. Do you have a poster from a concert? Maybe a christening gown? Quilting blocks salvaged from your grandmother? Don’t let them get torn up anymore.
Sneaky inside tip: no criticism here, but I’ve noticed that the sale prices from the craft stores when they do the big “50% Off!” sales are still higher than StyleCraft. In fact, many of the stores send their orders to him anyway.
Here’s a 20% off coupon for your entire first order from StyleCraft! I’m already planning to go back with the twin’s christening gowns and a piece of lace my great-great-great grandmother made. You can take a look at StyleCraft’s website here.
Ever Wanted To Meet Some Of The Stars From “The Twilight Series: New Moon?” Here’s Your Chance!
The “Twilight” people have big love for Salt Lake City–we’re getting one of the few “Twilight Saga: New Moon” dvd release parties tonight with stars from the film! Please join us starting at 10pm tonight for an exclusive party at the Riverton Wal-Mart. It’s located at 13500 South and Bangerter Highway.
We’ve got the “humans” from the film–Bella’s friends Mike, (Michael Welch) Angela (Christian Serratos) and Eric (Justin Chon.) We’ll be doing a big Q&A with the stars, giving out exclusive “New Moon” promotional swag from Summit and the “Twilight Moms” will be there to tell you about the party for “Eclipse” this summer!
4 Books, 4 Bucks!
My filthy love of books has already been well documented here on That Went Well, so you won’t be surprised that my tufted ears perked up with the new Paperback Book of the Month Club. I picked up “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” “Under The Dome” (LOVE Stephen King!) “Julie and Julia” and “Flyaway.” If I’d paid full retail, that would be $42.95. I got ‘em for $4.00 with a free-bee overnight bag. Sweet!
There’s no automatic shipments here, where you have to go to the hassle of packing up a book you don’t want and sending it back. They ask you to buy 2 more books sometime during the year. I picked up “Irish Country Girl” for an additional $4.99.
Sooo…I got 5 bestsellers, and an overnight bag. Full retail? $86.89. I paid $8.99. Hah!

There’s Still A Few Slots Open For The Nielsen Homescan Panel!
Here’s a new update from girlie Chris: “I have now been notified that I am on the panel! I am waiting for my scanner to come in the mail. Thanks, Todd and Erin, for posting the info!”
(Editor’s note: we’ve been following with some interest since The Todd and I never seem to have the magic zip code or demo that they need. There’s a few opening still available if you haven’t applied. If this is the first you’ve heard of the Homescan Panel, read on.)
Beloved girlies Georgia and Shauna made the first cut–and Shauna’s shopping! I’ll keep posting their comments so we can all follow along. Definitely apply! It’s a short form. Good luck!
Yeee! You’ve likely read my posts before about the Nielsen Panel, they’re the best, hands-down, of any of the “make money at home” groups. They’re back with some slots available for their Homescan group–you’d be the ones testing products for marketers to determine what gets manufactured and placed on shelves. It’s a well-paid gig, lots of prizes, lots of product. You can apply here, good luck! Let us know if you get in… Sneaky inside tip: there’s word that the “Homescan” division is filling up more quickly than expected. Consider applying right away if you’re interested…
Ski Snowbird–Help the Enviornment!
Hey, locals, take a look at this: Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort has a new “Red Air Days” promotion. The resort will offer a $20 discount off adult tram and chair tickets on any “red” air quality day in Salt Lake County as designated by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. You must request the “Red Air Days” discount when purchasing tram or chairs-only tickets at Snowbird ticket offices. The promotion is not valid Feb. 12-15. Go here for more information.
Sneaky inside tip: Snowbird also has a $39 ski instruction/lift ticket/rental package this month. Go here for details about that offer. Snowbird’s justly famous for their special needs ski program. Specially-trained ski instructors work with little ones with all kinds of challenges, physical, autism, etc. with love and patience. It’s a joy to see these kids go tearing down the hill!

Sneaky inside tip #2: Interested in more deals? Go to SkiUtah.com and click on “Hot Deals.”
Sneaky inside tip #3: If you have a child or young adult with special needs, the jewel of the entire special needs community is the National Ability Center. Based out of Park City, Utah, it offers everything from skiing to rock-climbing to horseback riding at ridiculously low rates, since parents of children with special needs are usually out of money after all the expenses. People fly in from all around the world for their adaptive programs. You can learn more here.

Free-Bee Recipes! (Or, let someone else do the thinking for a change…)
You know that leaden feeling of despair when it’s 5pm, you’re driving home and you’d rather set yourself on fire than make pigs in a blanket one more time? Free-Bee recipes and coupons to go with ‘em. I’ve experimented, and some of these are easy enough for completely disinterested 9 nine year old boys to make. (Editor’s note: yes, that’s autobiographical.)
IKEA snacks…
Ahhh…the siren call of IKEA! If you’re heading there this weekend, don’t forget that Swedish meatball platter. It’s normally priced at $4.29, and is only $1 this Saturday–11.7–through Tuesday, 11.10. That’s for 10 meatballs and a pile of mashed potatoes.
Thanks, One Cheap Chick!
A gloating note about Magic Jack
I got this email from my girlie Janet, she ordered the Magic Jack two weeks ago when we posted about it and has this to say…
“Hey, sistah–you know how much I like to gloat when something works out well! I ordered the Magic Jack and it ROCKS! Remember that fight I had with Qwest over the service bill that never was? Do you know how happy I was to make the call and cancel my home service? I’ve tried the Magic Jack in every room in the house and in the backyard and it works perfectly.
This worked out so well that I forgive you for the sweater set disaster! (Editor’s note: the sweater set thing was SO NOT my fault!)
Love, Janet”
Anyway, the offer’s back up if you’d like to try it, too. Just click here. No more local or long-distance phone bills, and you can get it now for a month’s trial FREE to see if you like it. Let me know what you think!

Ideal Image Laser Hair Removal At 50% Off!
I usually don’t cross clients over from the radio station, but I actually searched out Ideal Image 3 years ago when I got too weak from the blood loss to shave my legs anymore. (I have a very shaky hand, so sue me.) My parents are medical folk, so I know enough about lasers to know that NO ONE should be touching you with a medical laser unless they’re certified medical professionals. Nearly all of the laser “salons,” “huts,” “kiosks,” –whatever–use your standard 19 year old technition with 20 minutes of training. NOT who you want when you’re looking for a more permanent solution! Anyway, I haven’t had to shave, pluck, tweeze or wax for 2 years now, and I’m blissfully happy about it.
Getting to the point–more specifically, “Erin, that’s really sweet but what’s in this for ME?” Ideal Image is holding their Client Appreciation Month–every laser hair removal package is 50% off ’till the 31st. No joke. In three years of working with these folks, I have NEVER seen a deal this good. If you’re here in Utah, call 801.561.6002 for a free-bee consultation. Out of state?
