Become.com-one stop shopping

I recently heard about this site called Become.com. It’s an online shopping site, which I love, because I love to shop! What I love about it, is that it is a one-stop shop. You can find nearly everything there…from bedding, to furniture, baby items, sports equipment & more.
They have a lot of great deals going on like this bedding: floral green and yellow stripes $269.00 {and less} in different sizes, and even more color selections. Become.com lists the item (and similar items) that you are looking for from a number different stores – from all over. Stores that you may or may not already shop at. For example, when you search for corner etagere shelves, they are listed from different stores around the web–without having to do search after search on a search engine site. Become.com does the work for you! You can search by brand, by store, or by category. This is a great way to shop as you will have more of a chance at finding exactly what you want!

They have lots of great finds, and even a coupon selection list. It lists stores that are having special sales going on, or are offering free shipping.
I was surfing around and found a great battery powered floor sweeper for an incredible deal.
I personally think this is a no-fuss, super easy way to shop! :)

Just a few Picnik alternatives…

So you might have heard or read my post about Picnik closing. Yeah, lots of people are bummed about that-including me. Well, if you are looking for a no-cost alternative, I have discovered a few. Check these out!

Pixlr

FotoFlexer

Aviary

I have tried out Pixlr, and I do like it. As for the others, I haven’t really messed around with them much. I’m sure you can come up with a lot of options if you do a google search, but finding the right one with all of the bells & whistles might take a little bit of searching. I’ve found that Pixlr is very easy to use, has lots of effects, and is pretty fast.
So you decide! Have fun!

More that might be worth a look:

A sledding kind of day!

This past weekend we actually had snow AND with nice temps. What does THAT mean? A fun day out in the snow! We went sledding, played outside, and had the best time. Here are a couple of pics:

Snow Day of Fun!

It was really nice out! After sledding we headed over to Caribou Coffee and had warm drinks and a snack. Then we headed home and spent some time playing outside. It was a GREAT day! :)

There are many more pics on Flickr. Head on over there!

Picnik [is closing]

I must say I am bummed that Picnik is closing. I actually just found this out last night via email. I LOVE Picnik! I love that I can use it through Picasa and Flickr, or a stand-alone just by visiting Picnik.com. Oh well, that is about to change. I guess they are now moving their photo editing tools over to google. Now I haven’t really used Google+ plus very much. I guess I am just not sucked into it just yet. I do have a google account with a few photos uploaded, so I wanted to try their photo tools. Well, they are okay, but don’t have ALL of the Picnik features. Maybe that will change, I don’t know. I guess a PLUS is that premium Picnik users will be issued refunds. I still would rather have Picnik. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Maybe I’ll try out the photo tools on google again, who knows. I didn’t rely on it fully for editing photos, it was that fun bonus, and I used it a LOT!
Oh well, sad to see you go, Picnik! :/
