No, it's not my novel, but it's a little something and I'm very excited!

I subscribe to a couponing/refunding magazine, Refunding Makes Cents . Last month, the editor put out a request for people to write a story about how couponing/refunding has changed their lives. I wrote an article, filled Julia's old crib with all the free health and beauty products I've gotten free in the past six months, took a picture with Julia standing in front of it and sent it in.

Not only did the article and the picture get published in the magazine, but she offered a free gift to her favorite three entries, and mine was one of them! So, I got published AND I get a free gift!

I realize it isn't Time or Newsweek , but I am still VERY excited and I wanted to share with my frugal friends!

Now that I am switching to mostly home made stuff there aren't as many coupon opportunitues for me, but I love reading about everyones elses deals!
