Each of these 8*10 canvas prints usually costs 24.99, but until October 22 you can get three of them for 8.99 including shipping. (These are canvas prints; they’re not framed.) Just to recap: that’s a 75.00 value in canvas prints shipped to your door for 8.99. The ratings and reviews on these products are excellent, and I’ve been really pleased with both the speed of service and the quality of my Artscow prints thus far. Now the only thing I need to decide is whether to order three copies of the same family print and give one to my parents and one to my in-laws, or to order three different prints for myself to indulge my family-photo addiction. *Wink*

1. Go to Artscow.com.
2. Upload three photos, or just one photo of which you want three prints.
3. Select your 8*10 canvas prints.
4. Use coupon code 8X10CP899 to get the price dropped to 8.99, including shipping.
5. Enjoy!

1. Go to Amazon.com.
2. Search for “Dragon World pop-up.”
3. Complete check-out, or get up to 25.00 for free super saver shipping.

This site is a PYP favorite. Read some comments from PYP members below:

“I bought two of the different unisex spinner rings for my husband and he loves them. He is in construction and has gone through 2 wedding rings. He hasn’t worn a wedding ring for a few years because its too expensive to replace. These rings look nice. I don’t mind replacing this one when I have to.” – CindyJo

IN THEATRES OCTOBER 23

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.

16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend, got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.

Newly undead, he joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring sideshow filled with monstrous creatures from a snakeboy and a wolfman to a bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and a gigantic barker (Ken Watanabe). As Darren flexes his newfound powers in this dark world, he becomes a treasured pawn between the vampires and their deadlier counterparts. And while trying to survive, one boy will struggle to keep their brewing war from devouring what’s left of his humanity.
