Johnny went on a bussiness trip to Texas from 5/4-5/6, and I, of course went crazy with my countless project. I had been scanning some 200+ pictures of my parents and tried to work on a digital album for them in celebration of their 40th anniversary. Other than scanning, putting the pictures in sequential order, I still need to come up with my own template. It turns out Ok since it's my first time, but quite a lengthy project I have to say. I was thrilled when I finally pushed the "order" button after two months of work. The book costed me $27+. Not a bad price for a 30pages 8x8 hardcovered book.
Guess what I saw in my email the next day after I placed my order? They sent me a book coupon of $13.99. It's the same size and quality of book plus free shipping, BUT this coupon expired in two weeks. Obviously, the company would love to see it expired on it's own. Guess they didn't know who they were dealing with. Being the crazy, and lazy me.... I am no longer with the idea of processing pictures (for goodness sake, I still have pictures in boxes waiting for me to put them in the albums) unless I absolutely need to. I want our family pictures in a book. So, my lightbulb went on, and I spent another two nights or so updating our family traveling book when we visited HK last summer. This is a much improved version.
Think I have sometime to recover from those sleepless night??? I just got another coupon today of 7 free book ($7.99 shipping) expired by the end of May.
I will do whatever I can to get the deal even if it means eating bamboo and making friends with pandas! :D
