Class kick-off party time!
I promised a kick-off party and I promised prizes, so let’s not waste any time!
Prizes to be won:
One set of all five of my Banana Frog stamps (almost £60 retail!)
One set of Paper Chains stamps
One set of Circus Stories stamps
One set of Backgrounds stamps
One minibook kit
One $10 gift certificate to Two Peas
...and…
For one winner, I will pay your way for you and a friend on my next online workshop, which starts on the 15th of February! (registration details soon!)
How to enter and win:
Leave a comment below for one place in the draw. (If you comment more than once, your name will only go in the draw once.)
OR
Post about This Year, the free online class we’re starting, on your blog (or Facebook, delicious, etc). Link to this post in your blog post. Leave a comment below with a link to your blog post for two places in the draw. You can take a picture of your supplies for your blog post or use this picture that will keep cropping up through this project or share a photo you’ve taken after reading the getting ready prompt—absolutely whatever you fancy! It’s all part of the kick-off party so might as well pretty up blogland however you see fit!
Entries will close at midnight Sunday night – London time (GMT), so you have this weekend to party it up as we get started with This Year (which I promise is not a book of resolutions or anything of the sort, even if the name + the January timing might make it seem so). ETA: it’s just gone midnight here so I’m closing the comments. Winners will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Good luck!
There are seven prizes to be won, and it’s Friday night! What are we waiting for? Let the party begin!

Sounds like a fun class. Thanks for offering it! I’ve blogged about it here http://crazy4red.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-year-book.html. Not sure how to make this a link, and I wasn’t able to get the Flicker picture on my blog, but I’m probably doing something wrong.
17 January 2009, 17:53
a new class – how very exciting!
can’t wait to find out more :)

Really excited about this class cuz it’s my birthday this week, I pick up a piece of medical equipment which will change my life and I’m in middle of a month off work unpaid to consider my future!
18 January 2009, 06:37
This year. I can’t even imagine what will happen. DH lost his job on the 5th. Happy Stinkin’ New Year. Philosophically, I keep telling myself that it will open up new doors, new opportunities, it will be better than before. And I want to believe it’s true. But right now, I’m scared out of my mind. This year. I know there will be a lot to write about. And I want to remember it all. So I’ll do the project This Year. And a year from now, I’ll do it again. Thank you, Shimelle, for giving me a way to express this year.
18 January 2009, 06:57
Shimelle, thank you so much for this fab class… definately going to be joining in. I have posted the link on my blog and it is here
