First let me say thank you to Kristin and the ACOT CT for choosing me as the Co-Paper Guest CT for August and giving me the opportunity to go koala-wild with challenges. I also want to send a shout out to Leslie/lilkoala3 as my Koala-in-Scraps (and Co-Paper Guest CT).
Second, I would like to say thank you to all those who participated in my challenges last month, you made my month as Paper Guest CT so much fun. It was almost as much fun as eating eucalyptus leaves, a.k.a. chocolate deserts, with the baby marsupial known as Leslie-bear. I know my deadlines were tight and there was a lot going on, but there were 68 Cherries who participated in at least 1 TBKMOC challenge during the month. The most popular challenge was the Scrapbooker’s Story, followed closely by the Crop Questionnaire.
I hope you all feel like the challenges helped you to accomplish more in August than you might have otherwise, or at least that you learned something new about or from each other. I’ve been back to all the threads to read all of your answers, helpful hints, and stories that you’ve shared, and to look at all the beautiful layouts/projects that you entered into the challenges. I finally made it out to the gallery last night to leave you all some love too, great work ladies!
As promised, I entered each participant’s name into the drawing once for each challenge completed plus whatever bonus drawings you qualified for. I put all those drawing entries into a bag and made my husband pull the winner. He took the responsibility of holding all of your fates in his hand very seriously.
Without further adieu, the random winner of TBKMOC for an ACOT Gift Certificate is: writerlady
Congratulations Sandy and Happy Shopping!
In addition, there was one Cherry who finished all 31 challenges. She even completed the photo hunt, her first photo hunt ever. That, of course, is Letumom. To reward her for sticking with the challenges for all 31 days I’m sending her a prize package of items from her wish list. I know that her wish list is fairly up to date because she finished the Wish List challenge in early August.
Congratulations Laurie on a stellar accomplishment! Last but not least, for 5 more random winners that I pulled out of the bag I’m sending out a small prize package pulled from my stash. Those winners are:
Jcsmaestra
MarthaT
Emarie803
Retiree3
Craftyfool
If the 5 of you will please PM me your addresses, I’ll send out your prize.
Again, thank you, August was an amazing month for me; I hope some of you can say the same. I’m a regular around here, so I’ll see you out there on the board!
