First Anniversary Celebrations!!

Hello Quillers! How are you doing? I am so sorry for the long time I took..but I am going to make up for it.
Beware : This is going to be a long post full of surprises. So read carefully and patiently :)

This month, we would be having not one, nor two but three challenges. And not just that, every challenge has a sponsor...and hence there would be 3 winners.

You must be excited to find out who these sponsors are and what they would be sponsoring..right? So, here are the details along with their respective challenges -
1) The first sponsor is Kathy Meyers. Kathy has a wonderful embroidery store. Do check out her website at www.kzembroidery.com or her Etsy shop at kzembroidery.etsy.com to see some awesome creative stuff!
Kathy would be sponsoring a nice embroidered T-shirt to the winner. How cool is that! Thank you so much Kathy. And here's Kathy's challenge.

2) The second sponsor is a Secret. Well, the only hint I can give is that this lovely lady has participated in our previous challenges :). So keep guessing her name. And this secret sponsor is giving away this awesome package -

It contains 10 card stocks in assorted colors, 6 ribbons 3 feet each and 4 sticker packs. Wow..wish I could participate too :) . Thanks so much Girl!
And here's the Secret sponsor's challenge

3) The third sponsor is...me :).
And the winner of my challenge would get a 10$ (or equivalent) gift voucher of the store of winner's choice.

And now the rules -
1) The challenges will be open until 26th October 2011 (11:59 pm IST)
2) You may participate in all challenges and can submit any number of entries
3) No backlinking. All entries should be new one. i.e posted after the challenge has been set
4) Please specify a link back to the respective challenge on your blogspot
5) Link to the exact blog post and not the blog home page
6) Link to the correct challenge
7) The DTs of previous challenges and sponsors can also participate. However the sponsor cannot participate in her own challenge.
8) Top 3 entries will be chosen in every challenge and a random winner will be drawn out of the top 3.

Entries not fitting in rules would not be eligible for winning.

So calling all the new and the experienced quillers in all age groups over the world to participate in the celebrations.
Once again a big Thank you for the generous sponsors for making this event more special!
