{MARCH WINNERS}

We've got March winners and top picks to announce -- and there are plenty of them! Winners of the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop are also in this post.

An important note about our winners post: all winners (challenges and blog hops) of the previous month are announced in one post (this one) published on the 9th or 10th of the following month. All winners have up to 10 days to claim their prizes. If you are a regular player in our challenges or participant in our blog hops and special events, please consider following our blog, even signing up to receive email notifications when new posts are published. You'll find those links on the right side bar. 

Winners, please claim your prize on or before Thursday, April 20. Prizes not claimed by April 20 will be forfeited -- no exceptions. Please understand that because we have a lot of winners and give away over $200 worth of prizes in the form of products and gift certificates each month, it would take a lot of time to contact the winners individually (which would involve searching for email addresses). I also want to be fair to those who regularly visit our blog and claim their prizes within the time frame given.

When claiming your prize, send an email to sheryruss@gmail.com. Please follow this format in the subject line:

"STAMPlorations March (Winner, Top Pick, Random Draw) - specific challenge here"

e.g., "STAMPlorations March Winner - CAS Card Challenge"

Or if a blog hop winner:

"Winner - name of the blog hop here"

e.g., "Winner - Spring Coffee Lovers Hop"
