Happy, Happy Friday (or, More Reasons to Love Shutterfly)

Friday!  Whew!  I thought it would never get here.  Traditionally, this is one of my absolute busiest weeks at work every year, and whether in the office or at home, it's been difficult to think of much else.  Today's a bit of a "coming down" day and I can breathe again (somewhat), so I'm tapping this out in the 10 minutes I have to scarf down my Frosted Flakes before hightailing it to work. 

I'm going to sing Shutterfly's praises yet again today, as earlier this week they sent me an e-mail coupon code for $20 off any purchase of $20 or more, with an expiration date of Wednesday at midnight.  Now this is certainly nothing to sniff at.  $20 off anything at Shutterfly?  That's pretty darned exciting! 

Well, especially if you have time to create something before the deadline.

Which I didn't.

But I wasn't going to let that one get away.  Nevermind that I had absolutely nothing in mind to make...

Except...

The Samantha the Princess book I made for Sammi! 

So, with 3 hours remaining until midnight on Wednesday, I got to work.  It's not perfect, it's definitely not terribly interesting and I didn't have enough time or energy to take full advantage of Shutterfly's great book features (LOL - the first time I typed that I accidentally wrote "feathers...") and to add any of the frills or even to add any additional words, but I quickly stuck some extra pictures in and filled out the 20 page minimum needed to print (run-on sentence, anyone?).

And, since I needed to have a $20 minimum purchase, I ordered two.  I know who the second copy is going to, but can't talk about it here yet.  Let's just say it's not going to family (sorry, Mom - I'll make you a copy at some point if you want it!). 

At the very last second, as I was about to make the final purchase, the coupon code didn't work.  *sigh*  Why does this always happen??  But after a quick e-mail to Shutterfly customer service, I got a response first thing in the morning telling me that the code was now loaded into my account and I could go ahead and use it that day. 

Have I ever mentioned before how much I love Shutterfly??
