The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook Giveaway

This is by the author of one of the frugal blogs I follow. Her book was recently published and she is giving away 10 a day for 2 weeks (started a few days before Christmas) so still time left to enter, you can enter up to twice a day. This is definitely a book I may consider purchasing (unless I happen to win one, of course!).

These are so cute!

We tend to give our grandparents family pictures for Christmas. Sometimes I feel a little lame, like it's not that exciting. Sometimes we give the picture in a frame, other times it may just be the picture. But I just came across this great idea to spice up a photo gift. Visit the blog here for step-by-step instructions.
