Tablescaping

I have two pieces of stationary that I plan to have on the table:
My i Spy cards:

and my menus:

My concern was overcrowding the table.  I wanted to put two of each card on the table, but that would mean 4 different cards on the table.  

Then, I was given a brilliant suggestion (which I don't know why I didn't think of myself) put the two cards back to back in one holder (since they're the exact same size).  Instead of having 4 single-sides pieces on the table, I will only need 2 double-sided.  

Right away I went to search for holder for my stationary.  I found a great deal on these menu clips on amazon.  I ended up paying $11.89 for 36 holders (after a $5 Swagbucks giftcard).  They're perfect, simple, and have a cast iron base so we don't have to worry about them falling over!

Bridesmaids Keep Out: Part 3 (A.K.A. I did it!)

Just two days ago I posted about the duffel bags that I was considering.  Well I decided to go for it!  And I got an awesome deal on them.

Here's my breakdown:

I ordered them from Target.  They com in all different patterns and are reasonably priced at $29.99,

The downfall - they're only available online.  In order to save, I actually signed up for the Target Red Card (their credit card) which gives you free shipping and 5% on all purchases.

I also used this coupon to get $5 off your purchase of $50 or more at Target.  

AND I used my Swagbucks points to trade in for Target gift cards.


AND (last thing I promise), if you shop through EBates you can earn 2% cashback on your purchase. (That is my referal link for ebates, so if you don't use it yet and sign up I earn $5 or something like that!)

Basically, you can get an AMAZING deal on these bags.  I hope this helps!  Sorry for the long post, I just love finding good deals.  

I did purchase the three duffels that I have pictured here.  However, I do have three bridesmaids.  I forgot to mention in my previous post that I won't be getting these for my younger sisters since they don't travel.  I'm still brainstorming for their gifts.

Swagbucks

I recently discovered this awesome site Swagbucks.com.  What makes this site so great?  You can basically earn FREE MONEY! No really, it's true.  

I joined the site 4 days ago and have already earned enough Swagbucks to get a $25 Target gift card!!  How awesome is that?!? 

All you have to do is join  (that's my link) and then start earning.  You can earn Swagbucks in so many ways - taking surveys, watching videos, playing games, signing up for newsletters, starting free trials.  You can even earn points for posting a link in your blog (like above).  It's SO incredibly easy.  Oh and you can just randomly earn Swagbucks by searching the web.  You just install their toolbar and you can use it to search just like you would use Google.

Does anyone else use any awesome sites like this?  Also, I will be posting very shortly about what I'm using my gift card towards.  ;-)

ETA:  Today they are having a promotion where you request your credit report for $1 and earn 1,000 Swagbucks, which = $10 Target gift card!
