Bright Colors 4 Kids Winners Announced!

(For our current challenge, please go here.)

It's another fun Saturday at Send a Smile 4 Kids because we get to make 5 lucky and talented participants in our Bright Colors for Kids challenge very happy! We have two lucky winners of our sponsors prizes and we are also announcing our Top Three. First up is the sponsor prizes where the winners are drawn randomly. The lucky winner of three digis of her choice from Little Miss Muffet Stamps is #3 Suzie McFloozy! And the winner of the $15 gift certificate from Prairie Fairy is #18, Sandy Trefger. Congratulations ladies! Please grab your winners blog badge from the side of the blog and send me an email at khasheck@gmail.com and I will put you in touch with the sponsor to claim your prize.

JUST A REMINDER: when you link up your card to ours or any challenge, please be sure you have clicked on the blog entry title so that your link is a direct link to the blogpost not just to your blog! If we click on your link after Mr. Random picks your name as a winner and it does not take us to the card you entered in our challenge and we have to search for it, you will not qualify for that prize, and that would be a shame:(

Now for our Top Three as chosen by TEAM S.A.S. in no particular order. Remember to see any of the winners blogs or our sponsors websites, just click on their names.

Remember you have until Friday July 6th at noon CST to enter our current challenge, Birthday Fun for Kids. That is a whole extra week because we have challenges on the first and third Saturdays and announce the winners on the second and fourth Saturdays. When there is a 5th Saturday like this month, we take the week off and give you an extra week to join in our challenge for a chance at great sponsor prizes and/or the top three.

It is not required that you donate your card after entering, but our kids in the seven children's hospitals we currently serve would sure love it if you did. For all the info you need to know before donating your card(s), just click on the tabs at the top of the blog. Thanks!
