Can't get away?? That's okay, you can still Get Creative! and go shopping online with us!

We'd also like for you to volunteer to be a tour guide! Let us know your favorite places to shop either on vacation or in your home-town. We are accepting volunteers for this rigorous assignment starting now.

What to submit:

Good quality photo scans in jpeg format of your favorite places to shop (don't be shy -- you are allowed to submit pictures of yourself carrying your shopping bag home or sneaking it into the house -- we won't tell). You'd probably better ask the owner first if it's okay. Tell them it's free publicity. Throw in some scenic shots if you wish or a picture of your best bargain. You are the tour guide so be creative.

A brief description of each photo including the store address, phone number, owner's name and what products they carry.

Your name, city, and e-mail address if you want others to contact you.

We are probably going to be hungry after all that shopping so let us know where the best places are to eat. Also, tell us where the UPS office is so we can ship our stuff home. (Just kidding.)

Please note: Get Creative! reserves the right to edit any materials submitted for space and to limit the number that will be published. Submissions can not be of a commercial nature.
