The Scrappy Times

Just a quick post to show you what I finished working on tonight. It’s a participation bonus for the Heritage Challenge at SAS. All of our challenge bonuses coordinate around a theme. This month’s theme is Penguins in Love. If you partipate in the Heritage Challenge hosted by JanW., you can get my piece free. Cool deal, huh?

I’d love for you to get this freebie. Here’s the link to the challenge at SAS:

I was just reviewing the comments left on our blog to our last post, regarding our holiday gift to our subscribed readers, and there were a few I wanted to respond back to.

To Texasblu, Susie, and everyone else who left thanks either on the blog, or with their store order, you’re so welcome. I’m glad we were able to help put a smile on your face.  We’d LOVE to see what you make with our kits, so please upload them to our gallery at SAS when you get a chance to use them.  I’m always so surprised at the versatility, creativity and beautiful artistic talent shown when other people use our products.  It gives me such a thrill to see it.

Dana, I’m so sorry, but subscribing through Google Reader doesn’t help get our subscriber only goodies, and here’s the reason why.  By subscribing to our blog, I can send out subscriber only emails through Feedblitz. That’s how I sent subscribers the free sampler from our Sarah’s Baby Shower kit, and now the free coupon.  While I’d love to include Google Readers, there’s no way for me to contact them, short of posting the information on the blog for all to see.  While we offer plenty of freebies for one and all, we wanted to do something a little extra special for people who liked us enough to subscribe. And while Google Reader is a subscription, it’s unfortunately not one that I can use to communicate with you. 

So please, if you haven’t already, take the time to subscribe to our blog through the Feedblitz link on the left and make sure you don’t miss out on any other special treats we might send your way.  I can’t promise they’ll always be free kits for one and all, but I’ll do my best to make sure we give you some great surprises now and then.

You now what do they say about the best laid plans oft going astray? Well I’d intended to send a gift out our blog subscribers weeks ago, but I only just got a chance to do it. The good news for our subscribers was that about 20 new subscribers joined after I initially planned our goodie, so those people are benefiting from my time crisis.  So what did we give our loyal readers?  Everyone was sent a $5 coupon good for anything in our store at SAS.  That’s enough to buy at least one kit, possibly more.  Happy holidays from me and Diane!

In a bit of new year’s cleaning, I’ve removed the links to three of our recent blog party kits.  Most of the participants in the parties had already removed theirs, but I wanted to make sure everyone had enough time to get ours.  If you didn’t they’ve been added to the bargain bin at SAS. Each of these kits is available for only $1.50.  (Our blog subscribers could get all three free, if they didn’t have them already, lol!)
