CONTEST TIME..................NEW DEADLINE AND PRIZE

Yes indeed it is that time again and have I got a WONDERFUL prize for one lucky person.....Two of our very own BBTB Designers.....Mother and Daughter team, Penny Shuberg and Krista Norman the owners of Sweetarts Paperie are sponsoring our next contest....................

Here is a little bit about their on-line kit Company:

In our family it has always been a tradition to create. Growing up with an artistic mother, I often watched her with great enthusiasm take almost anything and turn it into a work of art. My mom and I have always shared a very special bond. As I got older, not only did we have a beautiful mother/daughter relationship, but also have developed a true friendship and now a business venture. This business venture is where Sweetarts Paperie comes in. Sweetarts Paperie is an on-line kit site. Our main goal is customer satisfaction so we strive to bring you the latest and greatest paper-crafting, scrap-booking, and card-making kits. These kits are handmade by us and every detail right down to the packaging that the kits arrives in is a yummy treat.

Thanks,
Penny Shuberg and Krista Norman
