SHUTTERFLY PRICING & SHIPPING
http://www.shutterfly.com/help/pop/pricing.jsp
=======================================================================================
There are three types of Shutterfly coupon codes:
1 - Account Codes - Shutterfly adds a code to your account and, depending on your email preferences, emails you to alert you to the offer. This is not transferable - the offer is tied to that Shutterfly account.
Make sure you tell Shutterfly to email you and you won't miss any deals. If you find deals in your account that you did not see in email - check your preferences.
* Go to My Shutterfly
* Go to the bottom and click on Personal Info/Settings
* Click on change under Email Preferences
* Make sure that the first box is checked
* Save now
A recent development in the Shutterfly world, probably in response to all the selling on eBay and trading on forums like this, where the offer code is emailed to the customer AND they have to add it to their account - it is not always added automatically by Shutterfly. The codes are typically 6-8 characters and look exactly like the shareable codes -- but they will only work on the accounts that Shutterfly chose to email this offer to.
2 - Shareable Codes - Shutterfly has some codes that are offered to affiliates/partners. These coupons can be shared and used in multiple accounts (once per account). Examples of what these codes look like are NMSA-XXXX or WIXXER09.
3 - Unique One time use codes - Shutterfly also offers one time use codes, typically they are 18 alphanumeric characters long, that come with special offers. These codes may be emailed to you or included in a printed card when you get a Shutterfly shipment. They may be won via Shutterfly contests. They may come from Shutterfly or from partner offers. Often times you can see these codes being sold on eBay. Examples of what these codes look like XXXX-7H9P-EBFX-V39VEC.
===============================================================================================

* Upromise - shop thru link and get 7% in your account - they often have other discounts as well

Guys we were forced to upgrade the group or loose it all into archives, so things are a bit different over there now. Go check it out. We no longer have discussions, we have to use the documents for it. Just letting you all know whats going on if things are missing.
I am having DS write her a letter and I know that will mean a lot to her, and I plan on writing a letter to her as well. Any other ideas...I was trying to think of a book that would be a good fit, but I can't think of one...maybe I could just get her a gift card to Barnes and Noble???
Perfect body stuff she is not into...Tomboy at heart. I have known her for 8 years now and only saw makeup on her twice. Her wedding and her stepdaughter's wedding
These are 2 pics from her recent surpise birthday a few weeks ago from her family.
What about Shamu and fish in the ocean and miller lite cans scattering the beach...
Attachment 540421Attachment 540423
And one of my Disney board friends just made this
Attachment 540469
and the 50 is great too!!! so wish i had a working lappy with photoshop so i could help you!
so the girl i was the moh for last summer (let's call her friend A) is the moh of our mutual friend's (which is a month after mine) and i am in her wedding (let's call her friend B). It was one of the hardest decisions i made to NOT have her as a bridesmaid. but with such close family i had no spots left without having a ridiculously huge wedding party. (ok so that whole part was somewhat irrelavant, but i am still having a hard time with it- so i justify it whenever i can... LOL ) anywho, friend A planned friend B's shower about 2 weeks before i even set my wedding date- when she KNEW we were trying to find a date that worked for EVERYONE- nevermind us. (which i somewhat feel guilty of bc i set my date after friend B, and only a month a part... but i justify that with that we have been engaged for 3 years) so now she is on a roll with this shower. N.O.W. :faint : this shower is in August, mind you. so, i am trying SO HARD to stay sane and helpful... let's not forget that i am planning my sister's shower at the moment (as you ALL KNOW! LOL)...DF is stressing to find a job AND have i mentioned how many coupons expired over the weekend?! :crying :
ok rant over... sorry i keep doing that here... i'll be back to my normal self soon! PROMISE!
Such a sweet face little girl
I am soo excited for you!!! He will be here soon!!
My pain level is much better. I forget to take my pain meds half the time, which is good and bad. Good in that, I must be getting better bc if I wasn't the pain wouldn't let me forget. Bad in that I don't remember to take the meds until the pain is pretty bad and then it takes longer to work. Yes, most times nurses make the WORST patients!
Lily is still VERY alert which I love. She will just look around at everything and move her arms around. I love to just watch her!
She is a bit yellow and they were monitoring her bilirubin levels. She was 16.3 on Monday and 13.4 yesterday. They were happy with the decrease, so they said we don't have to keep checking it.
Sophia still needs to be watched with the eye of a hawk, as she is very 'excited to help.' Alexa is amazing with Lily. Lily just adores her sister and is almost always calm and quiet when Alexa holds her!
Speaking of Alexa, her play is this week and next and she has been VERY busy. Every school night for the last 2 weeks, she has been at school from 6-9 pm. Not only does she have a part in the play, she is also the "costume mistress" so she has to be there before everyone else and can't leave until all the costumes are returned and checked in with proper technique. The play starts tomorrow at 7 and she is not expected to be home until 10:30 pm and then is supposed to go to school on Friday am!
J started a new Dojo for Kenpo this week. It was less expensive and gives him more hours than the one he was already going to. It is supposed to be 2 hours a time, 4 days a week, but we compromised at 2 hours a time 3 days a week, since his last one was only 4 hours a week. Before he was going Tue and Thur evenings and 2 hours in the middle of our Saturday. This way all his hours are done on weeknights (Tues - Thurs), but I get my weekends back with him! Worth it to me! I did let him know that since he will be gone all day and evening on Tues - Thurs, he needs to make sure to spend extra time with the kids (esp. Soph since she will be in bed by the time he gets home) on the other days. The new place also has a smaller class size, which is better for J as well.
Anyways, that is my family as of late. Sorry that my posts lately have turned into novels!
OOH speaking of novels, I have only read a single page of my book (Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jody Piccoult) in over a week!
or you could put "even at 50 big mouthed bass still like my ass" and have a picture of shamu's behind...
Attachment 540469
Cute!!
Oh, that card sounds so sweet!
You are so thoughtful & talented!
All this teacher talk has me wondering - what do you guys do for teachers? I don't really want to get into buying "teacher" junk because I always thought teachers probably got so much of that crap that they just ended up throwing it away. I thought I would do a heartfelt card and wouldn't mind doing something with it but can't come up with an idea I like. Do you guys all give teacher gifts to the teachers every year? How about you teachers - do you like "teacher" gifts or to you get too much of that stuff and would rather get a heartfelt card and maybe a small gift certificate to the local snack or coffee shop? Also do the schools say that teacher's cannot accept gifts or is it usually just fine?
Glad to hear today is a little better
Great 50 ideas!!!!!

What about a nice Coffee mug from SF with DS note on it? And maybe a few bbw goodies or the GC inside?

Thanks for lovin' on the pics - they really didn't turn out that great but you can't really tell by looking at the proofs.
I am having DS write her a letter and I know that will mean a lot to her, and I plan on writing a letter to her as well. Any other ideas...I was trying to think of a book that would be a good fit, but I can't think of one...maybe I could just get her a gift card to Barnes and Noble???
I had some fun the past few weeks with the student that I mentor. She is a senior this year and I took my camera one week and we walked around the school and she took pictures of things that were important to her...most of them were pictures of the teacher's names outside of their classrooms. We then made collages out of them and I just sent them off to Walgreens to get printed. That is going to be the present that I give her for graduation (we aren't supposed to "buy" our students things) and then I got 4x6 prints made for her to give to her teachers this week since it is teacher appreciation week. Kind of fun to do some photo projects again!
One thing I used to do and haven't for a long time is to bring the teacher a meal. I did it during the teacher work days at the beginning of the year but would be appreciated anytime. I figured it was something to make their life easier. Not something they had to feel like they had to keep or display. I always like food items and GCs.

Bummer, sounds like a rough few days! Hope today was better for you!
Of course we missed you! Happy to hear you didn't have any tornado activity. Hope your medication has kicked in and you are feeling better.
We are collecting boxtops so if Davewex or Mustoffa aren't, I'd be happy to take them off your hands.
Busy last few days for me and busy upcoming week too. Dance recital last night and again this afternoon. DD did very well and had a good time. Will have to try to get some pictures posted on FB. Monday after work taking DS to the pediatrician in the city for his allergies. Wednesday evening preschool enrollment & information meetings. Friday evening DS parent teacher conference. One good thing for me though is this is my last week of classes for this semester! The break won't last long though because I've worked out a plan of attack and if I continue with 3 classes at a time I can be finished in December! I'm excited about that because I thought it would take me much longer. It will suck having that many classes this summer but I'll just have to keep telling myself that it is only for one year.
I have a prayer request. My best friend from high school that I am still very close with has learned that they believe she has a pituitary tumor. They said the majority of these tumors are not cancerous but there is still that possibility. She had some testing & an MRI this week and will meet with specialists next week to see what is next. She has two kids and is currently fostering two more (a 6 month and an 18 month old) that they hope to adopt so she really has her hands full right now. I know she could use all the prayers she can get so if you have a minute I would appreciate it.
Lily and I have been doing well today! She has been sleeping for 2-4 hours at a time, even at night. She is VERY alert when awake and calm and content! I hope this lasts! The dr. told me to wake her up every 2 hours to nurse during the day (every 3-4 hours at night) to make sure she doesn't lose too much weight. She was 7 lbs 10oz when we left the hospital, so that was only 8% of a loss, not so bad. My milk came in so she is one happy girl! She is a GREAT nurser, so I am a happy girl!
The rest of the family is adjusting to having a new baby. Soph is probably having the hardest time. She scared the crap out of me this morning when she walked up to Lily with a hairbrush (regular hard kind) hidden behind her back. I told her "NO!" just in time. We are really going to have to watch her closely with Lily (The day before she wanted to give Lily a fruit snack .
I am hoping to get J to do some cute pics of her tomorrow so that I can do the announcements! I would really like to get them done asap!
I got a "Chase gift card" today in the mail. It was addressed to me and says "welcome baby" on the card, but I have no clue who sent it! I wish I knew, but just in case it was someone in here,
And Doone, if you are reading this you keep your mouth closed at church tomorrow.

He is up for tenure this year, and budget cuts are steep, so we are walking on pins and needles until that letter arrives. There was a terrorist bombing just a few days ago in a very popular cafe for tourists (dh had actually eaten there when he was there last time) but they are being assured that it was an isolated incident, and Morocco is actually very safe.
Not to mention that I will be 9 farking months pregnant next month, and Daniel came 3 weeks early, so there is a very good chance Maddie could come early. They are allowing him to cut his trip in half so there is no chance he will miss baby's birth, but we will still be gone 13 days, and not to sound selfish, but he really needs to be home taking care of his family and not in farking Africa. Sorry for the rant, but I've been so angry that I haven't even been able to talk about it, and now that this has happened, I'm close to going over the edge, and he has alot of colleagues and friends as my FB friends, so I can't really talk about it on FB. So farking angry at him right now.
Saw the FB pics of your puppies, so cute. Good thing I don't live near you!

It's been crazy around here the past few days. I tried to skim the old posts this morning but am sure I missed alot. We're trying to get ready for a garage sale...yuk. Off to golf in a few minutes. Missed you guys!
Glad to see that Tn_Native was safe. I worried about Coachie, too. We were at Lake Texoma w/no internet and VERY LIMITED TV so I couldn't tell where the storms hit hardest. We went through the little town, Tushka, Oklahoma, that was hit the week before by a tornado. OMG, just devastating!
