I'm doing the happy dance. My new best friend Sandy sent me a coupon code for CBD. Well, it's the first time I've ever heard from her, but you've got to love anyone with a good coupon code after such a long dry spell, right?
Thanks Sandy!

Here it is:
Christian Book Distributors code: 251426AE Good for 10% off a purchase of $35 or more, valid until 4/13/07

10% off is great, right?

Now try this on for size:
Between now and March 31, Vision Forum is giving away a $50 gift certificate for every $95 of merchandise purchased. That's an effective discount of over 30%. You can't redeem the certificate until May-December, but for a 30% discount I'm not going to complain!
Just think: you can buy 3 Geneva Bibles now and get a 400 year old Framed Geneva Bible Page for free in May. Just a suggestion...those pages are just the most incredible idea...I wonder who thought of them...
If you want to be my friend, remember to enter my source code in your order: inashoe.

There you have it: 2 great discounts
Use them wisely.

:)

Well, I'm excited about it...who else is? Can I see a show of hands?

If you're not familiar with Vision Forum, you should be. They sell a wide variety of books, audio, video and toys for the Christian homeschooling family. This is not curriculum, but materials to help homeschooling families develop a vision for what they are doing. Take a look at their website and you'll see what I mean. Or do it the old-fashioned way: request a catalog and flip through it over a cup of coffee. mmm. Coffee. Be sure to look for us in the staff photo inside the front cover.

I'm partial to them because my husband runs the warehouse, but we loved their catalog long before working for the company became a possibility.

Vision Forum is tinkering with an affiliate program and today is the first day. I and two other bloggers have the honor of being the first to help launch it. I can't tell you who else because then you might use one of their source codes (like hers or hers) instead of mine, and I want the commissions all to myself. Moo-hua-hua-hua!
Sorry. Got a little excited there. Ahem.

Anyway, if you all will be so kind as to go spend a whole bunch of money on the current Henty Sale or a spectacularly discounted set of Gill's Commentaries, or just snap up some fun and educational Jonathan Park stuff, please be sure to enter my source code on your order form:

inashoe

That's in a shoe as in Life in a Shoe. That's me. Go ahead, make my day.
And in return, each time you use my source code you'll be entered in a drawing at the end of the month for a free...what? Vision Forum will provide the gift, which will be given away right here on my blog. What should I suggest?

Remember my post about Bible lust? Guess what I found in the Christian Book Distributor bargain pages for even less than before?

The King James Bible, 1611 Edition--damaged

(I'm not supposed to tell the price but I will say that it's significantly less than the 20-ish number that so impressed me when I first saw this book.)
This is a hardcover facsimile of the original King James Bible, first published almost 400 years ago! Just today I was going over our inventory of real pages from 1620-1638 editions of this Bible. I would so love to own a facsimile of the entire book! Especially if it had the Geneva commentary, the way those sneaky puritans started publishing it...


We have purchased books marked as damaged from CBD and been quite happy - usually the damage is just a bumped corner or other minor sign of use. That's how our books look after the first 2 days anyway, so why not take a nicely discounted price?

Other must-have books, each hefty hardcover under $10:

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with CD-Rom (damaged)




Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible, Complete - Damaged Edition



Now if they would only put out a coupon. Does anyone know of a new discount yet?

I haven't read the book, but I think my hubby's love language might be ironing.
Please don't tell me that you haven't ironed in 20 years, and you just hang your hubby's clothes right out of the dryer. I've tried that, and it just doesn't look like real love in our house. Maybe your hubby's love language is food or closet organization. My guy likes his clothes ironed. It took me a long time to realize this.
For many years, I used the standard issue garage sale iron. It worked. Like any good wife, I hated ironing but did it when I had to.
Then the iron broke and I had to buy a new one. Hubby encouraged me to replace it with a nice one, but I'm frugal, right? I bought the cheapest one. It leaked, and the temperature was highly unpredictable, but it worked. I complained about it, and the girls and I scorched a few items (how frugal is that?) so we exchanged it. Do you think I learned my lesson and bought a nice one like Hubby suggested? Nope. I bought another of the same sub-$7 model.
Guess what? It leaked, and the temperature was unpredictable. The girls and I scorched a few items. Yeah, that's me: frugal housewife. Save a few bucks on an iron and ruin half of Hubby's clothes.
So finally, Hubby bought me a nice iron. He bought me a digital iron with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time - er, I mean with a stainless steel plate and turbo steam. I can feel the power when I hit the button! It's a heavy iron, but heavy in a good way. It's well-balanced, and has enough weight to do the work for me. It makes me feel confident and capable and formidable. It's a .45, not a wimpy little .22 caliber iron. Did I mention that it heats in about 1 minute? And hey, it's shiny.
I love my new iron. I love my man, who knows that it's sometimes good stewardship to spend a little extra. And I love the way his clothes look when I've ironed them with a shiny, heavy, leakproof iron that beeps at me for working on the same spot too long.
This may not be the greatest way to end a sparkling review, but I'm afraid I can't tell you the make and model. It's made by GE but doesn't seem to be listed as a GE model. It might be available only at a brick-n-mortar WalMart. I couldn't find it on Amazon or even on the WalMart website. I don't remember what the box looked like, so I can't help you there either. I do remember that it has a 2 year warranty directly through WalMart: just bring it in with a receipt and get a refund or exchange.
So, go find an iron that looks just like mine. You'll love it.
Sorry I can't be more help, but maybe the photo will tell you more.
