Terri Bradford. Life Notes.

Join in on the NEW Facebook app for Papercrafters to chat live!

Here's the deal: I have been working with developers on a brand NEW way for scrapbookers and papercrafters to connect, collaborate and share - all on Facebook and free! 

  

Become a fan and you'll get notification of our first video and realtime chat. 

I have joined up with some super creative ladies to help me host and contribute their talents: Jana Oliveria, Debby Lewis, Sudie Alexander and Amy Coon. I am sure you'll be addicted and love the new technology. We are a network of passionate papercrafters focused on connecting and inspiring each other and you! We want to see what you are creating, feel free to share about your favorite company and products, or... simply watch and get informed and inspired for your next creation.

Our first show launch date will be early January. You can get all the updates on facebook (add me as a friend: http://facebook.com/terribradford), here at my blog, and at http://createscrapbooks.com!

If you have any questions, comments, or want to participate email: terri@createscrapbooks.com.

See you all LIVE! :)

Black Friday - planning early...

So, I am one of those people who loves to hate black Friday. However, I do see it as an opportunity to get some awesome deals and try to make it a day of shopping with my mom and son. 

Honestly, I get a kick out of "people watching" on this day of craziness, and try to take it in with a grain of salt. The past few years there haven't been any killer deals I really needed to get on black Friday, but this year I am going early to score a new Cricut Expression for myself. Seriously. Check it out: Wal-Mart (which I avoid like the plague, but am going to brave it for this one day!) has 4 different colors for the Expression (black, red, blue and GREEN), and it is on sale for $188. They also have some great deals on Cricut Cartridges, too. It is not "my" color of green, but my original plan was finding the regular white one for a decent price anyhow. The green is just a bonus. ;) Wish me luck!

Thanks to www.blackfriday.org you can check out all the leaked ads now, so you can plan your crazy shopping day, too! 

 

I have already gotten some books via Barnes and Noble online for my bookworm son (they have membership pricing for EVERYONE, so get the deals early there with free shipping over $25, too!) I already scored a few Lego & Star Wars books for him that were on his emailed wish list to me. Great deals that he will love. I miss the cute handwritten wish lists. :( He even sent me a "revised" version this week, LOL!

Tell me what great deals you are getting up for or have found lately! I am narrowing down my list of the top places I need to go... you gotta plan (or else you'll just get run over inside the stores, right?!)
