			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was first beginning my couponing journey, I found this wonderful product called <a href="http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=990439" target="_blank">The Couponizer</a>.  It is a sturdy, spiral bound book with a generous pocket on each page to store your coupons.  Oh, and did I mention that the book is sorted by categories?!</p>
<p>From their website:</p>
<p>The entire 6 piece system includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=990439" target="_blank">The Couponizer</a>® – 8&#8243; x 5¼&#8221; booklet with 18 grocery coupon pockets, 4 generic<br />
coupon pockets, 3 gift card/shopper loyalty sleeves, shopping pockets</li>
<li>Shopping List – 20 page tear off list pad with cardboard backing</li>
<li>CoupStacker – Pre-sorting mat color coded to match the system pockets</li>
<li>CoupTracker – 15 page spiral bound list pad with cardboard backing</li>
<li>Scissors – blunt tip</li>
<li>Carrying Bag – clear vinyl zippered bag</li>
</ul>
<p>I loved this product so much that I bought one for my sister in law, who also coupons.  Both she and I have noticed an increase in our savings from using <a href="http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=990439" target="_blank">The Couponizer!</a> And at $10.00, it won&#8217;t take long for your savings to totally pay for this amazing organizing tool!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just became aware of a program called <a href="http://read-it-forward.crownpublishing.com/2010/05/?ref=email_crn_rif0510">Read It Forward</a>.   Crown Publishing, by Random House Publishers, offers readers a chance to win one of 3 free uncorrected proofs once a month.  This is simply an uncorrected paperback copy of the book.  You simply enter your name and address for a random chance to receive one.  Supplies are limited.</p>
<p>I received 2 books this week!  &#8220;Claude &amp; Camille&#8221; by Stephanie Cowell, and &#8220;The California Roll&#8221; by John Vorhaus.  I just finished &#8220;The California Roll&#8221; and it was such a joy to read!  A con man gets conned by a con within a con.  I&#8217;m going to have to read it again to really sort out what happened (which is great for me, since I always read books twice)!  The author invents words, such as &#8220;bafflegab,&#8221;  which is the con man&#8217;s pitch to the victim, or &#8220;smook.&#8221;   I just started reading &#8220;Claude &amp; Camille.&#8221;  So far, I am enjoying it.  Claude is Claude Monet, and the story details both his struggle to become accepted in the art world, and his love for a woman named Camille.  Both books are beautifully written, and both may have been overlooked by me in either the library or bookstore, since the topics aren&#8217;t usually ones I seek out.  For this, I am glad!  Through the <a href="http://read-it-forward.crownpublishing.com/2010/05/">Read It Forward</a> program, I have already been exposed to two new styles of writing and two new authors!</p>
<p>Once I&#8217;m done with these wonderful, free books, I am going to <a href="http://read-it-forward.crownpublishing.com/2010/05/">Read It Forward</a> by sharing them with another friend of mine who loves a good read.</p>
<p><a href="http://read-it-forward.crownpublishing.com/2010/05/">Check it out here!</a></p>

<p>The Home Depot&#8217;s Kids Workshops offer useful projects including the creation  of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational  projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence  frame kit.</p>
<p>The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills  and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of  accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time  between adults and children.</p>
<p>In addition to the newly  constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar  to The Home Depot associates&#8217; aprons, and an achievement pin.</p>
