Holiday Hoopla Treasure Hunt

It's LISA here and I was wondering if you would like to have a little fun today and earn your opportunity to win some goodies along the way?!  Well if your answer is 'YES', then keep reading...

 We have a nine letter word that you need to figure out:

_____     _____    _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____   

Clue's will be released on each of the participating DT members' blogs to help you figure out what the word is.  You can see the full line up below. 

When you receive a clue, you must go to the store and figure out what letter it is we are looking for.  Once you have filled in each blank, you will need to mail your answer to the address provided.

Just to make sure you understand, I'm going to walk you through the process, which will give you your first letter.

Clue #1

• Go to the Fresh Brewed Designs Store at http://www.freshbreweddesigns.com/
• Click on Digital Stamps (left), scroll down and click on Winter / Christmas / New Year from the choices provided.
• Click to enter the Snowbuddies section.
• What is the name of the image in the second column, sixth row down? 
• What is the second letter in this image's name?  Take that letter and write it down.  This is your first of nine letters.

Now to make sure that you did it correctly you should have found the image, "Cookies and Milk for Santa".

The second letter in the name is of course an 'O'.

_O_    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___ 

You now have your first blank filled in.  You will be provided with clues, including a visual clue, from each team member, to make sure you find the correct image at each stop along the way.

Ready to start?

 

Well, then head on over to PATTI 's Blog, http://scrapclose2theheart.wordpress.com/, right now for your second clue.

If you happen to get lost along the way you can find the complete line up below:

The Treasure Hunt starts here at Fresh Brewed Designs (http://freshbreweddesigns.blogspot.com/)

Go to PATTI 's Blog, http://scrapclose2theheart.wordpress.com/, for clue #2.

Go to EDWINA's Blog, http://edwinascreations.blogspot.com/, for clue #3.

Go to LINDA's Blog, http://stamperstouch.blogspot.com/, for clue #4.

Go to KIM's Blog, http://agypsyangel.blogspot.com/, for clue #5.

Go to LISA's Blog, http://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/, for clue #6.

Go to VICKY's Blog, http://crafting-vicky.blogspot.ca/, for clue #7.

Go to RHONDA's Blog, http://bumblcreate.blogspot.com/, for clue #8.   

Go to HEATHER's Blog, http://joemamainks.blogspot.com/, for clue #9. 

Now don't worry, if you aren't around for the day as you will have until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. EST, to complete the treasure hunt and email me your answers.  We want to make sure that all of our readers have the chance to participate.

Prizes!!!

What is a Treasure Hunt without prizes?!  Everyone who gets the word correct will have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to use in the Fresh Brewed Designs store.  Winner will be chosen randomly from among all correctly answered entries.  Additionally, everyone who participates by submitting a guess AND leaving a comment on every single blog participating in the Treasure Hunt (i.e. all those names listed above), will receive a specially selected digital image from the store.  It will be mailed to each participant after we have verified that comments were left on each blog. 

That is a freebie simply for playing along and your chance to win a $10 gift certificate from Fresh Brewed Designs.  To top it off, there might be additional opportunities to win a goody or two over on some of the DT member's blogs.  Seems like pretty good incentive for playing along, doesn't it?  Well, I hope that you agree and join us today in this fun little treasure hunt to help us all gear up and get into the holiday spirit.

Once you have all of your blanks filled in and you know what the word is, send an email to FBD_winclaims {at} outlook {dot} com (or by clicking HERE to bring the address up in your email program), and letting me know what you think the word is. Please use the subject heading, "FBD: Holiday Hoopla Treasure Hunt Guess".   

A winner announcement will be posted later in the week.

We look forward to seeing you participate!!! 

HAPPY HUNTING!!!

We're Havin' a Party!!!

Today is my sweet little girls birthday. 

She has hit the double digits.... and I am wondering how it got here so fast. 

I am actually writing this post late this night and having it ready for tomorrows posting...

and as I sit here I think of my sweet baby girl. The one I prayed so long for. The one I would cherish every moment I felt her kick, her painful but wonderful stretch inside me, how terrified but excited I was to get to go to the hospital to welcome her to the world. The moment I found out I had to have a C-section (UGH!) and the first time I heard her sweet cry. The first time I got to look into her precious little eyes... yes, you know it, I am bawling now. She is halfway to adult hood. She is half the age I was when I got married. Sigh. BUT this is not a sad time, this is a super happy time. It is her 10th birthday and while I will reminisce, I will also celebrate what a wonderful, beautiful, silly, happy, talented little lady she is.

I created this image for my princess. This is simply called Birthday Girl. I kept the colors fun and funky because she is 10 after all and 10 year olds are not really about the sweet pastels and soft colors ... lol.  I am liking these colors better together than when I was making it. I Was thinking... this is going to be one bright and gaudy card!!! hehehehe!! but I do love it all together. They are just happy and bright and do not clash as much as I thought they would. I went all out with tons of pop dots, big bold trim and fun epoxy stickers I have been saving for a few years. She got it all!!!

 This digi is NOT available in the shop today. 

She is FREE with any purchase until March 31. 

  
                                                                                                                                                               

Here is a little secret... my birthday is also coming up and I will  be having birthday blog candy... so if you want to get an extra chance to win  my blog candy starting in April, you will have to have her (or another FBD image) to create with!!!

Don't Forget!!!

We are  having a SALE this week at Fresh Brewed Designs!!!

Sale ends March 31
Get 35% off your RUBBER STAMP PURCHASE by using the code
happyday

((you can also use code on digis as long as you order rubber too!)) 

if you get her, create with her! there will be a fun prezzie for one lucky player who does :)) 

I'm Telling Tuesday!!!

Remember when I told you to be looking out for Tom Turkey to make his second appearance? 

Well, he is back!

card created by Heather at Craftastictimes with Heather

And why is he back?

Because he has been keeping something from you!
