Holiday Craft Contest

Next week, Halloween will be nothing more than a candy coated memory. Crafty thoughts will be more geared towards Thanksgiving Day for our friends in the USA. Of course, this also means that are are less than two months for everyone to get ready for... wait for it... Christmas. There, I said it! Yes, the biggest holiday of the year is fast approaching, and for us crafters, that means it's time to get our crafty little fingers going on all the decorations, greeting cards and gifts that we'll be making for our friends and loved ones this year.

I was poking around the net looking for different ideas and inspiration to do some crafting with my latest craft supply -- Modge Podge Dimensional Magic -- when I came upon the blog "Paint Me Plaid" for Plaid Enterprises. They are currently holding an exciting contest "12 Weeks of Christmas". To enter the contest, you simply have to make a holiday (your holiday that you celebrate -- Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.) themed project using at least one eligible product from the Plaid line. Eligible products include:

• Mod Podge (any formula)
• Dimensional Magic, FolkArt paint (any formula)
• Extreme Glitter
• Apple Barrel (any formula)
• Glo Away
• Stiffy.

There will be a weekly winner, who will receive a $100 gift basket, and one grand prize winner at the end of the 12 weeks will also receive $100 cash. Nice, huh?

The contest is open to all ages, but sadly is only open to residents of the USA. Once again us Canadians, Europeans, Brits, Aussies and all others living elsewhere in the world are out of luck. Instead, we'll just have to be inspired by what our American friends have created and cheer them on from the sidelines.
