Free Warm and Fuzzies

I'm the type of girl that likes a good deal! Who doesn't, right? This all really hit me today once I received something in the mail that I was actually excited about. It was two days in a row that the ever so dreaded bill man, I mean mail man delivered something other than bills! These freebies were so good that I thought I would share them with you!We all need a little "warm and fuzzy" sometimes! Enjoy!Does anyone like US Weekly? Better Homes? I know I do, and I'm a sucker for buying too many $6.00 magazines. That's just ridiculous! While exploring the Pottery Barn website the other night getting more home ideas, I found a link to a free catalog. Not just one, but several Potery Barn catalogs. Shipped to me. For FREE! Cool!

My mom always received Pottery Barn kids for my sister to check out. I signed up for the Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn kids because let's face it, those little kiddos are to die for on the seasonal coordinated cover. They look so beautiful on my coffee table--and no money needed!
Another thing I have been enjoying lately is Snapfish and Shutterfly. They are online printing and image storing sites. Although they are not top of the line professional prints I send my clients to, they work for everyday needed prints with pretty good quality!
And here's the catch, they send you coupons daily! I save up my coupons for when I can really use them and get an awesome bang for my buck. This week I got a free photo book of 20 pages. I made a book of our travels and family events. I love the way it turned out and it looks awesome in the house. So a $30.00 book I got for free to share with the family! I found that guests love to look at stuff like that when they visit! It adds character and warmth to a home I think.
Also from Snapfish and Shutterfly they offer free prints ALL the time! It may be 100 prints for $1.00 or 20 free prints, anything really.
When this comes around I round up my pictures and print away. I just recently had an order of 50 prints for free. I have some on our mantle, one of me and Paula Deen in our kitchen which I am so in love with, and this one in an 8 x 10 in our living room.
I'm in love with this print in this frame!
Another free way I like to encourage warm and fuzziness in our home is by switching our pictures in picture frames and moving them around. It creates a new and fun environment. We take SO MANY pictures and so many get looked over and end up growing dust in albums on the Mac. I try to print as many as I can when I get those Snapfish deals and rotate them around. I love it.
Well that's all of the warm and fuzziness I have for the day! I hope you enjoyed the freebie ideas and can take it to make your home more warm on these snowy days!
