Help
Here's the nitty gritty: Every other day (December 1st through December 29th) a Holiday Hoopla 2009 task will be posted in this thread by a member of the Welcoming Committee. Tasks will be in large purple font for easy identifying in the thread. If you complete all 15 tasks correctly you'll win a $10 gift certificate to the ScrapGirls Boutique! There will be layout creation included in the Holiday Hoopla tasks and one layout from each of the six layout tasks will be chosen as a winner, and will be awarded with a $5 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls boutique. Those who complete all 15 tasks and earn the $10 gift certificate are also eligible to win the $5 gift certificates for their layouts. You may choose to only participate in the layout creation part of Holiday Hoopla and you will be eligible to win a $5 gift certificate if one of your layouts is chosen as a task winner, but the $10 gift certificates will only be awarded to those who complete all fifteen tasks.
Read each task carefully and compile all your answers and links into one e-mail that should be sent to scrapgirlang@gmail.com at the end of the month when you've completed all the tasks. Emails need to be received by December 31st at midnight Mountain Time (Happy New Year!). Please put "Holiday Hoopla 2009- Username" in the email subject line. Feel free to keep track of your participation in a word document or other similar program throughout the month, but when it's time to send in your completed tasks with links, etc, please copy and paste the required items directly into the email message rather than attaching document files. Thanks!
Good luck!
