My friend, LeaDawn, started a blog to help people find out where some of the best deals are. This has been a great site. I've already ordered a free photo album for my parents and just ordered a free canvas portrait. She also has many other wonderful deals on her site. You should check it out.
The canvas portrait is from canvas people. The 8x10 is free to first-time users or you can put $55 towards a bigger portrait.
It's a perfect Christmas present that you only have to pay for shipping and handling (which is about 14.95). But if you want to find out how you can save more on the canvas (making it only cost $2.95-$8.95, go to The Coupon Basics Web site for more information on how to do that. I'm really excited to get mine in the mail soon!

Bride's Guide
I am officially done working on the BYU-Idaho's Bride's Guide magazine!! My job this semester is the editor in chief for the Bride's Guide magazine and the Winter Outdoor magazine. When I received this position, I have to admit, it was a little intimidating. I have never written for a real magazine or designed a layout for one. And to add to the stress, none of the editors who worked on the magazine in the past were on Scroll to help me along the way. I am grateful to Bre for coming in and giving me advice though.
I assigned a few classes to write some articles for the magazine, expecting to receive at least 20 articles... I got about 10. I enlisted in the help of many Scroll editors and friends and family. It's funny to see all the familiar faces within the magazine. Thanks to Kimberly, Bre, Brian Johnson and Carol Rhees for stepping up and writing their personal stories. And thanks to LeaDawn for sending me pictures in the last minute.
But, after working on the magazine for 70 hours in the past week, I am pleased to announce that we sent the 48 page magazine to the printers yesterday. It doesn't come out until November 12, so we'll all have to wait to see the final product but here is a sneak peek of what the front and back cover look like. I hope you like it.
