{MAY WINNERS}

We've got May winners and top picks to announce. Once again, thank you to all of you who play in our challenges every month!

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 Tuesday, June 20. Prizes not claimed by June 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. 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:

That's it for this post. Congratulations to all the winners! If you are one of them, please wait up to 3 days for me to acknowledge your email. If you don't hear back from me after 3 days, please re-send your email.

Do check out our fun challenges this month...we'd love for you to join us! And keep your eyes peeled because we are going to have a big birthday celebration later this month as STAMPlorations turns 4! You will see a slew of new products appear in the store leading up to June 26. And if you register for an account in our store (sign up is free -- you don't have to buy anything!) and add products to your wishlist -- you could win up to $50 worth of products in your wishlist! :o)

Have a great week...and happy stamping!
