Crayola has created this amazing new application called Lights, Camera, Color. Kids and parents can log onto the site and spend hours creating their own coloring pages.

Whether it’s a family vacation, a birthday celebration or a momentous moment on the soccer field, “Lights, Camera, Color” makes kids photos one for the books – personalized, one-of-a-kind coloring books, that is.

Here’s how kids (and ahem moms) can transform their memories into customized coloring pages:

• Upload a new or existing digital photo onto the “Lights, Camera, Color” application at Crayola.com/colorme.
• Print out your coloring page or save and send it to Coloring Page Maker to customize with fun graphics.
• Choose a background: you can choose from several including a desert, a beach, a haunted house and more.
• Add props such as a hat, mustache, wings, etc.
• Select words/phrases: “Best Friends,” “Kids Only,” “All Star” to name just a few.
• Save and print.
• Start coloring your one-of-a-kind creation.

I am thrilled to be able to offer you a special one-day pass so you can experience this awesome application for yourself. Simply go to “Lights, Camera, Color” and register using this code: PRT77F3S

Don’t fret, even though this is only a one-day pass you can find in specially-marked Crayola crayon boxes (48, 64, 96, 120-ct. as well as the 150-ct. Crayon Tower)  a code that lets you print custom coloring pages. Kids and moms can try the application for free online at Crayola.com/colorme at anytime, but a code is required to print out the personalized coloring pages. Each code found in 64-count boxes and larger is good for six months of unlimited prints. The 48-count box has a code that is good for three months of unlimited prints.

What will you win?

The winner of this contest will win a Crayola 150-count Telescoping Crayon Tower that comes with a code to gain access to the Crayola Lights, Camera, Color application to test for yourself.

How do you enter???

To enter you can leave me a comment telling about your favorite photos of your family. You must leave an email address so that you can be contacted if you win!

Walgreens currently has the Almay One Coat Mascara on sale for Buy One Get One Free. My store has them for $6.99/ea.  I lucked up and found a bonus pack which includes Eye Makeup Remover included. If you pick up the  Walgreen’s November Coupon Booklet you will find a coupon for $4 off Almay One Coat Mascara. Use two of the November coupons and grab $1.01 in filler items and VOILA youhave two free mascaras and $1.01 in misc. items for free! I must tell you though my coupons beeped because I purchased the bonus packs. If you purchase the regular packs the coupons should not beep.  Here is what I did:

(2) Almay One Coat Mascara – BOGO – 6.99
(2) Coke – (Kids just got out of school) – 1.98
Subtotal – 8.97
Tax – .70
Total – 9.67
- 8.00 – (2) $4 Almay coupons
Total OOP – 1.67

You can spend less out of pocket than I did but my kids were just dying to have something to drink. I am going to go back and get some of the discounted candy with my overage. I may also pick up some little goodies for the kids next year. Just to help you out here is what the November Coupon booklet looks like and it can be found on the rack with the flyers as soon as you walk in the store.
