DIY: Wood Chalkboard Clips

Aren't these Wood Chalkboard Clips adorable? Happy Clippings shows you step-by-step how you can make your own, and several creative ways you could use them. I definitely want to try and make these sometime! I'm already thinking up the many ways I could use them around the house!

Crayola 50ct. Markers: $3.33 at Toys 'R Us (through Saturday)

I posted earlier this week about the Crayola sale at Toys 'R Us this week, and wanted to give you the heads up on one more good deal there... The Crayola Washable 50ct. marker sets are priced at $9.99 (not sure if prices vary from store to store or not). So when paired with the Buy 1 Get 2 Free sale going on this week, you can get three packs of 50ct Crayola markers for $10, or $3.33 each. This sale ends Saturday, August 27th.

I seriously never used to shop at Toys 'R Us before, but they have had some good sales recently as I stock up for Christmas gifts! My sister-in-law has five daughters, and is expecting her first son at the beginning of December. So I have decided to give each of my nieces tubs filled with craft supplies for Christmas so help keep their little hands busy. Basic things like markers, glue sticks, tape, doodle paper, cards to decorate... And right now is the time to shop for those type of supplies!

Children's Place Fleece: $4 shipped!!!

I will admit, the girl's stuff is way cuter (I love bright colors!), but the boy stuff is pretty cute, too! Anyway, Children's Place is having a $5 Fleece Frenzy, which includes fleece tops, pullovers, pants, hats, mittens, and scarves. All marked at $5 each! You can get an additional 20% off by using promo code "W3C2RU7M12A", then get free shipping by using the code "FSHOLIDAY". That makes every item only $4 +tax (for my area, about $4.26 total). There are even adorable animal hats and mittens!


To stretch your dollar even farther, if you log-in or register for Shop At Home, you will get 4% cash back. If you're a first time user with Shop At Home, you will get $5 added to your account. Shop At Home pays out monthly, if you hit a $20 minimum. Otherwise, your money rolls over to the next month. While I don't think Shop At Home's website is as user-friendly as some others, it does offer not only cash back when you're making purchases online, but they also offer thousands of coupons you can print to use for groceries or stores. They have the most comprehensive coupon database I've seen since I began my frugal adventures! 

Thanks to Hip2Save for the heads up on this deal!


(Last night I posted about Ebates. If you have an Ebates account, you will get 3% cash back right now at Children's Place, so Shop At Home would be the better website. Both places give you $5, and the sign-up is free for both!)


Looking for a great gift idea for someone older? How about the 2011 Entertainment Book? Through 11/30, you can get it for 30% off, plus 50% cash back through Ebates!!!
