Here are the prizes that one of our lucky SummerFun participants will receive:

How’s that for some yummy eye candy??  Doesn’t it make you wish that you had submitted a photo now…?  And if you have, aren’t you glad you did?

I will be back in a few days to announce our lucky winner!

Cheers,

So sorry for the lack of posts this month, everyone!  As you may know, if you follow my blog, I have had some serious dental issues over the last few weeks.  I have had three rounds of antibiotics and they really knackered me!  I’m happy to say that I’m finishing up Round 3 of antibiotics and I *think* we finally have this thing licked!  (Touch wood!)

I have many submissions to share, and I certainly enjoyed receiving them, even if I couldn’t drag myself out of bed to post them.  We had 23 submission for January and February!  And we’re going to pick TWO lucky winners once I’ve posted them so check back Friday to congratulate our winner… Who knows?  It may be YOU!

Speaking of winners, I also have the prizes to share with you!!  All photo submissions will be eligible for both prizes, regardless of the photo subject, but I will pick a winner for both January and February.

January’s prize is this yummy pack of adhesive goodness from :

January Prize Pack by Scrapbook Adhesives

And our February winner will receive this prize pack from Magenta Stamps:

First, due to the holidays, I’m going to extend the December assignment deadline to January 5th, 2010!!  Be sure to send us your photos by 11:59pm EST to be eligible to win this lovely prize pack by Kelly Panacci:

Secondly, I hinted earlier that we will be having a contest on the Hands On blog, but with illnesses and then the holidays, it seemed to get away from me!   But we will definitely be hosting a contest so watch for details in early January!!

Now let’s go out and take some photos!
