I am attaching a picture of the coupon cake my husband had made for my 31st birthday last year. It was very cute and creative and personal. I loved it!

Happy Friday: Toilet Paper Wall Art
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 6:42 pm.
Sent from reader, Crystal:
I’ve been searching for unique craft ideas. About a year ago, I found a website on ‘eco-friendly’ kids crafts. One of the things I came across was toilet paper roll flowers. I’ve been saving toilet paper rolls for a while and they were starting to pile up. My fiance’ is deployed and in the midst of my loneliness I decided to see what I could do with these.
I cut the rolls into 5ths, painted them black, rolled in glitter, and after they dried I put them together with glue (which by the way was NOT easy) and added a silver bead (extras from Christmas bead strands). The frame was a frame we got for free on base (has been sitting around for over 2 yrs). I painted it black and put polka dots on it.
It’s now hanging above our bed (my bed wasn’t made so I made sure it WASN’T in the pic). I think these would be really cute to do in bright colors for a little girls room, or to paint white with glitter for some fun xmas crafts for kids. Hope y’all like

Happy Friday: Birthday Coupons…
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, January 13th, 2012 at 8:17 pm.
Sent from reader, Tracey:
I wanted to share a “coupon funny.” I celebrated a birthday a few months ago and I got the best present ever….coupons from my 4 year old daughter! Of course, there was a story behind it. My husband told me that he was asking my daughter what they should get me for my birthday. He said that she thought about it for a minute and then said matter-of-factly, “COUPONS! We have to get Mommy coupons because she LOVES coupons!” So they made me some! It was so cute and made me smile. I guess I am teaching her young!

Happy Friday: Ode To My Coupon Binder

(Before & After Pictures of My Personal Coupon Binder)
Today’s Happy Friday is a bit different than normal as the reader featured below did not send in a picture (as a result, I am using my own personal picture as seen above). Instead, Hip2Save reader, Alicia, wrote the adorable poem below which I thought was absolutely perfect for the first Happy Friday of 2012.
Sent from reader, Alicia:
Oh, my beloved binder, how good you’ve been to me this past year!
We’ve had such fun flitting from store to store, you’ve been with me everywhere and Oh the deals you’ve helped me score!
You monster of savings, you book of fun, I can’t imagine my life without you now, you’ve helped me save such large sums!
But, today as I flipped through your pages, removing coupons from the year now past, I noticed that instead of looking well kept, you looked more worn.
Your sections overstuffed at places, and some of your dividers torn, a few of your labels missing, just in such bad form!
So, this year, this promise I make to you, I will keep you looking spiffy and well organized too. You will be looking good at all times, no matter where our next destination may be.
When people gaze upon you, they will gasp with delight, surprise and maybe a little envy too.
This year, my beloved binder, I promise to give all the love and attention you’re due.

Happy Friday: Picky Eater No More
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, December 30th, 2011 at 4:47 pm.
Sent from reader, Melissa:
The attached is a picture of my nephew, Jack, who’s a bit of a picky eater. He’s not willing to try new foods we know he will like so my mom (his grandmother) thought of something very clever. From Thanksgiving until Christmas, Jack has to try to write 30 food items he likes on his “Things I Like to Eat” poster. Over the past few weeks, Jack has been willing to try new things he thought he hated but found out they belong on his poster instead. It’s been fun and it’s opened his eyes to new foods. So far he’s up to 21 new items, just a few more to go! I thought this was a neat way to encourage parents who are having a hard time with their picky eaters as well.

Happy Friday: Giving Back is What It’s All About
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, December 23rd, 2011 at 7:36 pm.
Sent from reader, Rachel:
A month ago I entered a photo contest and ended up winning. My prize was a $500 gift card to our local mall. My husband and I decided we wanted to take half and do some good with it by helping out families who are less fortunate. A neighbor mentioned her and a group of friends were organizing a Foster Care Sub 4 Santa, so we thought this would be the perfect cause to donate to.
I wanted to find some good deals so I would be able to get as much as possible, so when I saw JCPenney released some coupons I printed them and headed out to shop. My friend said pre-teen and teenage boys were the most in need since they often times get overlooked, so I put my focus on that age group. There were a lot of good deals in the clearance and sale section and combined with the coupons I was able to get all of this shown in the picture. I felt amazing after I completed my purchases, such an awesome experience.
My friend came and grabbed everything today and said they just got an additional 10 families who need help, so this would go to good use. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to give… that is what the holiday season is all about!! I was able to explain to my kids what I was doing and they were happy and excited as well. I may not be able to donate this much every year, but I definitely want to make this a family tradition!

Happy Friday: A New Chapter Begins…
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, December 16th, 2011 at 6:19 pm.
So this isn’t a typical Happy Friday picture, as it’s not from a reader… but from me. I thought it seemed very fitting, though, as today is my last full day in North Carolina.
I never really thought that I may actually feel sad about leaving. I guess I was just thinkin’ that sadness would never even be a feeling I’d have… I mean, I’m moving back to be by family after having lived far away for so many years. My kiddos are going to be with their cousins and we are going to now have so many fun family gatherings. What could possibly be sad about that?!
I was completely wrong. I am, at this very moment, sitting in my car with tears streaming down my face. I am incredibly sad to see this chapter in my life come to an end. It is bittersweet.
Military life definitely has its ups and downs, but this is what I have known for more than 10 years. This is was so much a part of my life and now it’s not. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to drive off base today for the last time… to wave goodbye to the house we have called home for over 3 years… to see my kids tear up as they gave their friends hugs goodbye… to know this may be the last time I ever drive on this base again…
Please don’t get me wrong, I am extremely excited for this new chapter of my life to begin, but I am just really having a very hard time saying goodbye and letting go of this chapter in my life that I’ve grown to love.
As we drove off the base, I lost it. I couldn’t seem to hold back the tears. Part of me hoped we could just turn around and go back to our house on base – rewind time and cherish all of those wonderful memories we’ve made. As we curved around the road to leave base, I looked up and couldn’t believe what I saw. Yep… exactly what you see above. Idaho plates.
