Hi Everyone
Wow, the blog comments are as slow as the store is right now! I hope it's just summertime and you all are busy and haven't decided you don't like us anymore :)
I just drew 2 winners for the October Afternoon Road Map Collections
Congrats to
MarieB and Wendy Lust! Please email info@amillionlittlethings.com to claim your prizes.
So let's talk about Sketch it should we? I'm not sure if anyone is still planning on entering our challenge, but we only have 7 entries. Therefore, we are extending the deadline. We orginally had tried to make a short deadline so it wasn't forgotten, but maybe we haven't given enough time, so from now on you will have 2 weeks to participate in the challenge. I've only had one email asking me about the short deadline, but perhaps others feel the same. We apologize if we made it seem impossible, I've seen many week long deadlines on other sites that don't even give prizes! Hey.. I'm just guessing! But the good thing is I'm willing to adapt. SO... THE NEW DEADLINE WILL BE JUNE 26, that's a Friday and over 10 days away. Let's hope we start getting a little participation or the column may crash before it takes off!! Remember, you can enter to win the prize which is a 7 gypsies Binderie punch by simply doing one layout inspired by the sketch here:
This is 40 dollar retail punch, and I pay the shipping too. So really, it's one layout, give it a try, if nothing else you've got a great layout! Feel free to adapt this sketch anyway you wish, especially if you are a 12 x 12 scrapper!! THE NEW DEADLINE FOR ENTERING WILL BY FRIDAY JUNE 26. To ENTER EMAIL ONE LAYOUT TO challenge@amillionlittlethings.com.
So is that guilt trip enough for some of you to enter?? (Chuckle... crossing fingers!) Remember many many of you asked for reader participation challenges on our blog :)!
Have a great week!
Jill

Thanks so much for extending the deadline, I hope you keep offering these challenges. I was going to try and get it done before we went away for a few days but now I know I'll have time when I get back!

Hey Jill,
Thanks for extending the deadline. If you keep this column up (which I REALLY hope you do!) then I will be able to participate next month. Unfortunately this month I just can't because we are leaving to go out of town for a week on Friday and I've got so much to do the next couple of days. I hope with the extended deadline others participate so you will keep this around for awhile!
