Great and Awesome Deals on Photo Gifts


Artscow.com is a photo gifts website that offers some pretty crazy products and some pretty crazy promotions to go along with it. If you were simply to browse around their site, the prices would not astonish you. However, the shipping costs would. As weird as their name is, it is weirder still that this company is based in Japan (I believe). That would explain the outlandish shipping charges. The trick is to "like" them on Facebook and sign up for their email updates. They post/email 3 incredible promotions a week, all of them with free shipping. Not to mention, when you set up an account with them, they give you an unbelievable amount of free credits. You will, however, have to pay shipping on those... so you'll have to figure out which "free" products are actually worth the shipping costs. Anyway, if you like personalized photo gifts, check it out here.

Creative Procrastination

I procrastinate, but really I like to call it getting creative. You see, there are jobs I really do not like doing. So I pretend to work on them by turning them into some totally uneeded design job. Right now, I'm supposed to be working on a shopping list. We're running low on not just groceries, but about every other consumable item in the house, including clothing. I thought I should probably make a big list of all the things we need so I can fit them into the budget in the next weeks. It seemed like a daunting job. If I just had a list of every consumable item in the house, I could just mark the things I need to restock. Of course, that gave me the grand idea of making such a master list. But rather than walk around the house with a pen and paper, I decided to make it as a checklist in Microsoft Word. But I can't just type text. It need a cover page listing different categories. And you know you can't have a boring cover page. It needs a splash of design.

Yeah, I'm weird. Now I should stop procrastinating and get back to my over creativafied project.
