I’m not sure how you prepare your taxes each year. I let my husband take care of ours. He does the taxes, I do the toilets. It’s a great arrangement. Last year, we (as in Matt) tried out Tax Act and REALLY liked it. You can prepare, print and e-file for ABSOLUTELY FREE. Really, no catch. Tax Act is great! We’ll be using them again this year. Check them out here!

“What to Do With Vanilla” Recipe Card Pack!
Posted by: | CommentsI got them finished! The “What to Do With Vanilla” Recipe Card Pack is completed and in the shop! I still haven’t had time to finish the “What to Do With the Vanilla in Your Kitchen” ebook…hopefully I can finish it within the next few weeks.
BUT, I really wanted to make the recipe cards available to you NOW in time for you to print them off and package them up for Christmas gifts! Especially if you made homemade vanilla extract to give away as gifts!
So…here you go!

The pack includes 15 recipe cards…all using yummy vanilla extract. The cards are 4×6 jpgs. I usually just upload them to my Walgreens photo file and order my prints from them. The result is fantastic! The cards look great…for just a few cents each!
Bundled up and tied with a ribbon, these cards make a wonderful gift alongside a bottle of homemade vanilla extract! If you didn’t make homemade vanilla this year (you may want to start a batch for another time!)….you can still give these cards as gifts along with a purchased bottle of vanilla. Such a fun gift!
Once you purchase the pack, there is NO LIMIT to how many prints you can make and share with friends and family.
Right now, the What to Do With Vanilla” Recipe Card Pack has a special introductory price of only $3.00!! Three dollars plus unlimited printing makes for some SUPER INEXPENSIVE Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!!!

I can’t believe how much fun it was to play with all of their designs and options. Go try it!!!

More Free Thanksgiving Ebooks
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve come across a few more FREE ebooks for Thanksgiving…
First, a Thanksgiving Craft ebook! This ebook has 51 pages worth of REALLY CUTE ideas. I can’t wait to try some of these ideas. They look so simple, yet so cute! I am really impressed!
Even though I’ve got my Thanksgiving menu planned, it’s always fun to look through more recipes (at least I always think so)! This FREE ebook has 30 recipes, including several different types of stuffing recipes. I’m not even a big fan of stuffing…yet I was intrigued!
I’ve mentioned this last FREE ebook before, but it’s worth mentioning again. Several GREAT looking recipes!
Each of these ebooks just took a minute or two to sign up for and download. I chose to say “no thanks” or to skip all of the offers they wanted me to accept before receiving the ebooks. It was no problem to skip those parts. I still received the ebook download…and ALL of these ebooks are WORTH the tiny bit of effort it took for me to get them!
