I added 2 sections - Rewinds (under Freebie Finds) & Challenges & I'd like to know if you find these of use & would like it continued.
Rewinds are OLD freebies, previous awesome finds (at least I think so :D) that I'll link up as I think of them. It's addl work as I have to search my hdd, find the blog/forum, test & preview it & it's only worth it if it's new to you. So pls, whenever I put something there, can you let me know if you already know of it or not.
Challenges will be those I find with a participation bonus of some sort. Pls, is there any interest? Currently, I intend to put in only those I personally find doable, eg 10 LOs for one prize, no matter how awesome, is sadly out of reach for me. Similarly those with 'harder' themes that require a lot of time & thought (eg AAMs, journaling :D) so I wont be adding those.
These are meant for you so your thoughts would be appreciated. Not asking for 'love', just feedback. Feel free to say the ideas & finds suck if you think so. In case some of you may be too polite to say anything negative, I will assume no response as no interest :D
-------Thank you for your attention :D Back to the regular program-------
