Birthday Bash ~ our party game winners!!

Friday, June 1, 2012

Happy Friday everyone!! :o)  It’s Kylie here…and I am very excited to be with you for today’s special post!

If you have been following the blog…you probably know that we (the blog) recently had our 2nd birthday…and our beloved Shabby Shoppe celebrated its SEVENTH birthday!  hip-hip-Hooray!!  So, to help us celebrate we invited one and all to play a couple of  ‘party’ games.  Whooo hooo!! ;o)  Well…sooooo many of you joined in the fun & games…and that of course made our birthday all the more special - THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being part of our special month-long birthday celebrations!!  It just wouldn’t have been the same without you! :o)

The time has come to finish up our two games…but not before I hand out some PRIZES!!!

There were bunches and bunches of fabulously sweet comments and favorite blog posts linked-up for our little Link-A-Post game…and here are our three random ‘WINNERS’ using our friend Mr Random:

• Comment 6: abyhunter linked her favorite blog post ~ “Stripes to Plaid”
• Comment 4: Kimberly linked her favorite blog post ~ “Scrapping Imperfect Photos”
• Comment 34: Candice S. linked her favorite blog post ~ “Project Scrap 2012″

CONGRATULATIONS, girls :o)  You should have each received a $10 gift card to the Shabby Shoppe (be sure to check your SPAM folders) via email – & have fun shoppe-ing :o)  AGAIN, thank you SO much, to everyone, for taking the time to play Link-A-Post!  It was lovely to see which blog posts have been your faves and your reasons why…you’re all sooo sweet!  And if you are interested…here is a lil’ Link-A-Post trivia! LOL!
