HBBH 3 - A New Year, A New Challenge ~ Prize Announcment.


My of my, how the days are flying past! Hope everyone is snow free (or at least close to it) by now, and enjoying the first signs of Spring. 
AFTER ALL, TODAY is the First Day of Spring!!!
It is also the day we promised we would be announcing the winners of the 
HBBH 3 - New Year, New Challenge Event.
There were some great Holiday Stories for this round, and the creations everyone sent each other fabulous too. Many, many thanks for joining us in the continued holiday fun.
Thanks too, to all who took the time to comment on our Non-Blogger page for the gals who were fearless enough to join us, despite not having a blog (From what they have said, we all may just have changed their minds.).

OK, OK, stop yelling "Get on with it".

Gift time!
The two lucky participant winners of $25 Gift Certificates to The Soft Flex Company are:
Sherri Stokey
Laura Reed
Congratulations and watch your email for your GC coming soon, directly from Soft Flex.
The winner of the commenter $15 Gift Certificate  is:
Deanna Cox (this is your lucky week)
You too should soon see the GC in your email as well.
 
Now one more thing, to anyone who has joined our (snuck it in), HBBH 3 1/2 Surprise Party, we had set a date of March 25 for mailing to partners, and we realize it is a short 2 weeks to make and mail, but needed the time for International Shippers... If you and your partner agree to push the mail time out a bit (Marlene and Lori are), we promise we won't beat you with a wet noodle.

HBBH 3 ½ - Surprise Party!


Hey, we thought Punxsutawney Phil forecast an early spring! So why are so many of us still dealing with all that white fluffy stuff, and temperatures only meant for the inside of a refrigerator/freezer? As if this isn’t bad enough, what makes it even worse is the next major Holiday is still a long way off!


Then, here we are in the midst of waiting for the Reveal of
HBBH 3. What is a beady gal suppose to do with all this time on her hands, especially if it isn’t her birthday celebration time!

OH WAIT!  That’s it!

It’s time to have a VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY PARTY via our extra special HBBH 3 ½ Blog Event!

Yes, we are at it again. Just like the "March Hare", the "White Rabbit",  and the "Mad Hatter" invited "Alice" to their party, we are inviting you to ours.

You’re asking how, you say?

Simple, sign up, using the form below (It's the form we mentioned we were working on to keep everyone's info in one place, so returnees, please use it too.)

We will assign partners, and you will be notified of their email, so you can contact one another and find out what month you each celebrate your birthday.

Then use this Monthly Birthstone chart to make a piece of Birthday Bling for each other.



Now don’t get crazy, the chart is for color reference only. You DO NOT have to use the actual gemstone, but what the heck. Let’s just say both of us celebrate in, what month did you say diamonds are the birthstone?

Signups will run from today to March 8, and finished items should be in the mail by March 25. The Reveal will be April 20.

See you at the party!  Wear your party hat, but cake and ice cream optional!

Signup Form Removed
Signups CLOSED

Look for an e-mail on March 10th !
