First, my free Shutterfly codes come from various places: I've traded them with people, bought them on ebay (rarely), but mostly they are from a little hard work. :) Every once in a while Shutterfly runs contests. These contests are great because basically you always win. Their "consolation" prizes are things like free photobooks, 12 free photocards or a calendar. Can't go wrong there! Most of the time you can only win once per email address. I don't have only one email address. I won't say how many I have, but I have A LOT (most temporary). I also participate in a thread at http://www.slickdeals.net/. It is there that I have traded codes and found out about new codes and contests. The direct link is HERE. If you go to the first page you can find some codes that always work, for any account...like $10 off $40 or something like that. Shutterfly is AWESOME because they stack all these codes, so usually you can use a bunch of them! I placed my order today...here's what I got and what I paid:
62 5x7 Photo Cards (reg. $61.38...paid $1.98)
1 Greeting Card (reg. $2.49...paid $0)
5 Custom Calendars (reg. $99.95...paid $0)
Desk Organizer (reg. and paid $29.99)
2 11x14 Prints/Collages (Reg. $19.98...paid $0)
3 5x7 Books (reg. $38.97...paid $0)
1 Thomas the Train 8x8 Photo Book (Reg. $34.99...paid $0)
2 8x8 Photo Books (Reg. $83.98...paid $24 because of extra pages)
Total would have been... $371.74 plus like $50 shipping, so over $400!
Total that I paid with above discounts, plus free shipping discount and 2 other discounts...$27.95
I LOVE Shutterfly!!

I also had a couple of requests for the Brownies I made from the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook. Here's the recipe (you can right click, save as, if you want a copy) :

Thanks again to those asking about my foot. It's healing nicely and except for a couple super sore spots, I'm really doing well. I can't put a shoe on yet, that hurts too much, but hopefully I'll be able to by next Tuesday since I have to work! :)

I'm not sure if I'll post again this week...we have a small-group Christmas party tomorrow night and then on Friday my mom, Rebecca, Abigail and I are headed to Chicago. Why? Because we are CRAZY to go to the American Girl Store during the Christmas season! :) But it really is fun!

Wow wow wow. I am super stressed just thinking of all the time it takes to upload stuff to that stinking site - you must have spent hours just making the stuff for all these goodies! Good for you getting the deals. I have two calendars to print yet there - hopefully ordering this weekend so I hope to find some of those deals!
Glad your foot is doing alright - take it easy in Chicago - sounds like no fun to me - LOL!
I know this is a random question, but does Abigail have an American Girl Doll? I have Felicity and I'm trying to sell it (it's in great condition) so if you or any of your friends are interested, let me know! :)

We actually ate out tonight, and at 84 East! Forgot you were in Chicago. Hope you had fun in the American Girl Mayhem!
