HBBH 3 - A New Year, A New Challenge ~ Prize Announcment.

My of my, how the days are flying past! Hope everyone is snow free (or at least close to it) by now, and enjoying the first signs of Spring. 

AFTER ALL, TODAY is the First Day of Spring!!!

It is also the day we promised we would be announcing the winners of the 
HBBH 3 - New Year, New Challenge Event.

There were some great Holiday Stories for this round, and the creations everyone sent each other fabulous too. Many, many thanks for joining us in the continued holiday fun.
Thanks too, to all who took the time to comment on our Non-Blogger page for the gals who were fearless enough to join us, despite not having a blog (From what they have said, we all may just have changed their minds.).

OK, OK, stop yelling "Get on with it".

Gift time!

The two lucky participant winners of $25 Gift Certificates to The Soft Flex Company are:

Sherri Stokey

Laura Reed

Congratulations and watch your email for your GC coming soon, directly from Soft Flex.

The winner of the commenter $15 Gift Certificate  is:

Deanna Cox (this is your lucky week)

You too should soon see the GC in your email as well.

 

Now one more thing, to anyone who has joined our (snuck it in), HBBH 3 1/2 Surprise Party, we had set a date of March 25 for mailing to partners, and we realize it is a short 2 weeks to make and mail, but needed the time for International Shippers... If you and your partner agree to push the mail time out a bit (Marlene and Lori are), we promise we won't beat you with a wet noodle.



PRIZES: HBBH2 Prize Awards

Blow the horns, tap those drums, strike up the band!

No it's not a parade, but it is time to PARTY again!

 

We, Shelley Graham Turner and Marlene Cupo had a fantastic response to our Holiday Bling Blog Hop 2 party. Hope everyone is enjoying the goodies from their swap partners.

Neither of us think it's a real party until the presents are given out, and today is the day to announce them.

 We used Random.org to pick the winners of the $25 Gift Certificates from Rio Grande and they are:

 

 

             Ginger Bishop

                               and

            Dyanne Cantrell

 

           CONGRATULATIONS ladies!

 

 

There is nothing better than a "Post-Holiday" spending spree, especially one for yourself - so enjoy!!
 

 

Of course, we have one more gift, a $15 Gift Certificate from that very same Rio Grande, for one of the commenters on our blogs. That winner, also picked by the Random.org site, is:

Angi Mullis
 

Thanks for your sweet comment, and we hope you enjoy too!

 
 

BTW, Rio Grande is closed until Jan. 2nd, so watch your email on that day for your Gift Certificate.

 

 

We have had so much fun organizing and running these blog hops, sharing with old friends, and meeting so many new great artists and crafters, that we don't want the parties to end, so..... 

With the New Year we will be up to some new tricks. Look for further details on January 15th, on this, our NEW BLOG  Swaps by Marlene and Shelley, and join us on our Facebook Group: Marshellswaps, so you don't miss out (yes, we have all bases covered.)!
