Weeds & Wildflowers

Just an ordinary Friday!

Well not that ordinary...LOL. Today no "What's Sproutin' Up" header and sadly to say no new goodies...But that doesn't mean we're going to keep this a simple, ordinary post...No! That wouldn't be like us at all! I've got a fun challenge announcement and a fantastic give-away....Yes you've heard that right!

Let me start of with this fun challenge Miranda is hosting in our forum...It's an alpha challenge!!! And you don't want to miss this! Check out the thread here for all details... I am going to tell you what you could win and I so wish I could play and win this challenge. The winner gets a custom made wordart or a couple of single words by our own Gina Marie... How cool is that?? So make sure you play along!

Btw...did you know the Site CT girls host several challenges in our forum with some awesome prizes and then for being active in our forums and gallery, you could always get a little RAK from one of our ladies! :)

Then on to the fantastic give away, which I know you'll love... And well just because we love all you weedsters out there for supporting us and since we don't have any new releases today, we just wanted to spread some love!! So who wants a piece of this yummy collection??

I will be giving away each part of this collection to 10 lucky ladies...All we want to know from you is this:

Tell us something fun you want to do this weekend.. even if you don't think you can do it... just something you want to do - and then we challenge you to do it!! :) Gotta find time to live life :)

And to add a little thing - we would love to know which part of the collection you would like to have, so we know what to give you if you're one of those 10 lucky ladies! ;) The image is linked if you want to have a closer look, or you could browse the shoppe! What do you think...?? Isn't that awesome!!??
