Practical? Creative? Win a Book!

Coupons and art: I have a soft spot for both. Coupons engage the practical side of me. (Why pay full price for something when you can save with a coupon?) Art inspires my creative side. So on any given day, I could be practically creative or creatively practical! With the resources I have for you today, I’m both.
