Midnight Madness Anniversary Sketch Challenge #52 (MMSC52 )

Happy One Year Anniversary Everyone!

Welcome to our One Year Celebration…It's all about our Players and Followers this month. If you have not entered our Blogaversay Jackpot Candy, be sure to click over for a chance to win a Candy Prize worth over $300.We will be celebrating all month! I would like to thank all of our players for giving us so much inspiration each week. Visiting your blogs has been a journey into enjoying your creativity, zest for crafting, and lovely works of heart. Those brief moments when we read about your projects and how they relate to your life, open a window for us to be a part of your family and for you to be a part of ours. We are treated like honored guest when we arrive at your blogs for our visits. It is truly a pleasure and an honor to share with you and have you in our circle of friends.

To get the celebration started, I would like to start out this month with a big thank you to our Consistent players and to honor them for their commitment to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. This group of ladies have played every sketch we have done (or have only missed a handful of them) since we started. We celebrate your love of crafting and enthusiasm for our sketch challenges with a special MM “Princess” logo. You are now an official member of the Midnight Madness Royal Court and hope you display this logo proudly. Would each of our new Princesses email me, I would like to send you a Royal Loyal Appreciation Gift along with your new logo. If you are new to this blog and would like to be eligible for this award and prize, you are more than welcome to start playing. If you can play every week till our 2nd year blogaversary, we would love to induct you into our Court. If we missed anyone, please let me know. Join me in Congratulating our first Ever Royal Court.
