Target: Free Eveready Batteries

Eveready

If your Target is like mine, they have Eveready batteries priced at just $1 in their Dollar Spot. Use the $1/1 coupons from the 10/3 or 11/21 SmartSource insert to get these for free.

Eveready is part of the Energizer brand.

This is a great time to stock up on those batteries we all know we’ll need for Christmas morning.

Picaboo Classic Book Giveaway Ends 12/14

Update: Congratulations Angel!

One lucky Embracing Beauty winner will receive a coupon for a free 20 page Classic photo book, valued at up to $39.99.

Picaboo Books

This coupon covers one of three different book style:

Classic Custom hardcover books add a “wow” factor and a professional touch to your book with a completely customized cover that really makes an impact. Create a one-of-a-kind cover featuring the layout, background, images, and text of your choice on the front cover, back cover and spine.

Our Classic Leather books have a rich, smooth finish and formal, timeless design that speaks to their lasting quality. These covers are easier to care for than the Classic Linen, which can show fingerprints and other markings more easily.

Our Croc-embossed leather books feature our classic design and durable bonded leather with a stylish embossed finish. Less formal and more “fun”, croc-embossed leather can jazz up any photo book. (No – it’s not real crocodile skin! The croc design is embossed on our standard Classic bonded leather).

Our Classic Linen books feature a traditional photo book design with a die cut window on the front cover, allowing your image and caption from the first page to show through the cover when the book is closed.

Creating photo books with Picaboo is easy and fun. Photo books can be fully customized by dragging-and-dropping photos and captions anywhere on your pages, and our software allows you creative control so you can make each special page look just the way you want it to.

My Thoughts

This game was fun!  It’s recommended for ages 8 and up and 3-10 players.  The first time we played was with my husband and his parents and we had a great time!  The types of crazy sentences you create is hysterical.  It is a very unique, thought-provoking, yet laid back type of game.  I look forward to many more laughter filled evenings playing it.

This would be a fabulous game to help kids develop sentences correctly in a fun and relaxed environment.

I am happy to announce that the wonderful people at McNeil Designs has offered to donate a game to giveaway to one lucky Embracing Beauty reader!

Now through December 31, 2010 use coupon code “YBS15” to save 15% off your order!
