Just a quick update that we’ve added more items to our Black Friday – Cyber Monday sale!

We’re planning on some great deals on Monday morning for our Facebook fans and blog readers, so please check back Monday morning.

You can check out our currently listed specials here – http://www.etsy.com/shop/DECAcandle?section_id=6599882

Thanks to everyone who helped us out in achieving Z-list status at Lockerz!!!

With your help we managed to have the points needed to get a few things over the two day redemption on 11/23 and 11/24.

Remember, for those of you who have been collecting your Ptz, that there is a general redemption coming this month yet and you may be able to snag something great for yourself.

The redemption process was a bit nerve wracking, but was well worth it in the end. Expect to go to the site and run into a TON of 500 server errors, page not found, etc. due to the traffic load.

Here’s what we managed to get!

The Wii for our kids Christmas. Almost had this on the first day. I got all the way through the form and hit confirm several times just to get server errors, but did GET ONE on Tuesdays redemption!!!!! HAPPY

A great new skin for our iPod Touch

And finally I grabbed a Lockerz wallpaper for on my laptop to be able to show off the great site where ever I go!

To show thanks, we’ll be doing some bonus items at reduced prices Black Friday to Cyber Monday in the featured items on our Etsy and Artfire shops.

For those who asked for and accepted invites to Lockerz for us, we’re going to e-mail you a special bonus coupon as well.

Thanks so much for making our kids Christmas great!!!

This post is going to be short and sweet.

We’re steadily preparing for the crazy sale we’re planning for the last few weeks of the month. Be sure to check back in a few days as well post up some pictures and previews of what we’ve got coming up.

Times are tough for lots of us, and Christmas is looking pathetic this year.

I found a few sites that I’m hoping will make it great for our kids and could really use your help making this happen. You could even end up with some great stuff for yourself.

The first site is Lockerz.com. They are in beta right now and the only way to get in is to get an invite.

How does Lockerz work? You get 2 points that they call Ptz for logging in each day, answering a daily question, and for each referral. If you get 20+ referrals, you make their Z-List which gets you up to 4 Ptz for each thing mentioned before.

The great part is that a Wii (Which I’m really hoping to be able to get for my kids, is 250 Ptz!

Please let me know if you are interested in checking out the site, and I will send you a referral.

The other great site I’ve come across is Swagbucks.

This one is a little different and is a search engine that awards random SwagBucks as you do your normal searches.

These SwagBucks can be redeemed for some great prizes, my favorite of which is the $5 Amazon.com gift card which runs 45 Swagbucks.

Replacing my Google searches with Swagbucks, I’ve managed to get $30 in Amazon.com gift cards in just over a month.

Interested in earning some extra Amazon cash without doing anything you normally wouldn’t do?

*Note, this is a referral link. You will get 3 Swagbucks to start out through this link, and I will receive 1 for every 1 you get up to the first 100.

Let’s try to make the holidays better for all.

Thanks so much to our fans for your support,

Dave
