I try not to go through the bargain boards too often because I end up spending money when I don't have it (although I have gotten some incredible discounts!!). However, this time I just have to share what I got because of here. I am trying to do some things that will help boost my son's morale in Iraq. He has been out since 5:00 a.m. on Sunday assisting in the search for the 3 missing soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division. We don't expect to hear from him until their mission is complete and the soldiers are found. I could hear the emotional toll it is taking on him in his voice when he called Saturday to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and can only imagine how hard these past few days have been.
I downloaded Picaboo this morning and created a beautiful book for my son. Because of the coupon code shared by Kim, I got this $40.00, 8 1/2" x 11", leather bound book for free (I paid $1.99 for an extra page and $8.99 for shipping).
Thanks so much for allowing me to make something that will bring him a little bit of home while he's so far away.
