New WEBSITE!

Just letting everyone know that my new Website is finally up and running!  It is not completely done so bear with me as I keep updating.  The address is http://www.becauseshesaid.net/    I missed bloging, even though sometimes it made me crazy!  The coupon info is under because I save money.  Let me know what you think!

UPDATE!  UPDATE!  UPDATE!

Just letting you all know that I am putting a new site together so stay tuned!

Thanks for your support!

Saying goodbye!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has followed my blog, taken my class, emailed, commented and said hello to me in the stores!  I have totally enjoyed getting to meet all of you and hope that you continue to coupon.  I just simply do not have the time for this blog which makes me sad, but I don't like to do things half-way and always feel guilty for not getting updates done.
I will still answer questions if you want to email coupongals@live.com. 
Thanks again for your support and as always, Happy Shopping!
Nicole
