I am SO glad it’s Friday. I need a break. One of my co-workers is on vacation in Ireland part of this week and next week and a lot of her work has been sent my way! Is it the 19th yet?

This week has been crazy. TONS of Black Friday ads were released this week. I’ve been busy attending webcasts and reading forums researching all the different store sales. Over the weekend I’ll work on posting all the ads I’ve gotten permission to share from other bloggers on my deal blog.

This week I found out one of my favorite reward programs SHUT DOWN! 🙁 SUPERPOINTS just shutdown with NO NOTICE. I noticed when I got home from work and went to do my daily spins. I asked around and someone said they were on the site that morning with no problems or warning. I think it was poor customer service on their part. They should have at least given users 24 hours or an email to redeem their points. One of my blogging friends had a reader write to her that she had over 18,000 points (about $150!!) she was saving for Christmas!! At least I only lost about $20 in points. It was one of my favorite and easiest reward programs. Hopefully swagbucks doesn’t shut down but now I know I just need to redeem points ASAP.

This weekend I am going to finalize all the word for my #AdventPhotoADay photo contest! It is now a contest. I have officially decided to give daily or weekly prizes to the most creative photos. Depending on how many people participate will depend if I decide to do it daily or weekly. I’m also going to showcase my favorite pictures of the week on my blog. I think it is going to be a fun way to celebrate advent together. Remember we can share photos through twitter and instagram using the #AdventPhotoADAy hashtag or by uploading them to my facebook page.  Make sure to grab the button!

 I know not everyone is a disney lover like me but I thought this parody video introducing Princess Lea as the new disney princess was hilarious!
