Brown Bag “Blog” Challenge

Every month we create a limited number of Brown Bag Surprise Kits for the 1st Business day of the month. Those who pick up the kit for $5.00 can participate in our monthly contest. All they have to do is use a piece of everything in the bag, create a layout or project with the items and bring it back to us by the end of the month. We put them on display in the store for 1 month. At the end of the month a WINNER is randomly drawn to win a $10 gift pack. This month let’s see how many items can be made with the one kit.
This month we have an extra special contest starting. Each entry returned for the brown bag surprise kit is eligible to win the $10 but what about those of you who are not able to get you kit back on time or were not lucky enough to get in time to pick up your kit. This is how you can win a prize too.
We would love to here what you think and we want you to leave us some comments. Kimberly will be posting the August Kit/September winner on September 11, 2009 and you have until September 30, 2009 to leave us a comment on that posting in order to be entered to win a $10 prize pack. Only post once or you will be disqualified and random number will draw the winner. Make sure your post is NOT anonymous.
Also we will be adding all of our contest entries on too our NEW customer scrapbook gallery so you can see them.
Have fun creating and commenting.
