Dude Time Doodles 1st Annual Scavenger Crawl

    Welcome to the next stop on the Dude Time Doodles Scavenger Crawl, where we're celebrating the First Annual Dudeville Holla Scavenger Crawl celebrating Dude Time's first birthday!  You'll find prizes to be had, some blog candy along the way (yes, I have some!), and bushels of fun!  If you're reading this before 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, some of the links may not be active yet.  Do try again later in the day.

     Along the way we have some special guests this week, and the regular Dudettes.  You probably got here from Cleota's blog, but it doesn't really matter because this Crawl is a complete circle.  You can start anywhere and just keep hopping crawling along until you've visited each blog along the way.  If you want all the info from the horse's mouth (so to speak), you can click and go to the Dude Time Doodles blog and read all about the Scavenger Crawl, the rules, and what you have to do.  The short version is to find all the items on the scavenger list (each item is specific to a one of the Dudettes or guests) and then e-mail your answer to this address: cmm5569@yahoo.com.  The winner will be picked in two weeks (September 6th) and posted on the Dude Time Doodles challenge blog.  The Crawl is open those whole two weeks.

     The prize is a $20 gift certificate for the Bonibleaux Design store.  On September 1, all the Halloween images go on sale at 50% off so if you're the winner, you can double your money on those images!  Don't forget to check back  to see if you're a winner.

     Here's my card, featuring Brad Ball & Chain, available at the Bonibleaux Designs store.  I used this week's sketch from Midnight Madness.



     Contrary to popular belief, Brad's not the groom this time-- he insists he's the Best Man and he shouldn't be the one hefting the ball and chain!  Who knows, next time could be his time, though.

     My blog candy is a Martha Stewart border punch, 5 yards of ribbon, and some gorgeous Glitter and Embossing Powder from Sparkle 'n' Sprinkle.  Sorry I don't have a picture of it but you'll love it, I promise!  Please leave a comment on my blog, and I'll be pulling a name out of the hat and announcing a winner next Tuesday evening.  Be sure to leave me an e-mail address so that I can contact you.  If you live some place other than the continental USA, I'll be giving you a gift certificate to Bonibleux Designs so that you can select digis.  Sorry, but international postage is really too much.  I hope you'll understand. :-)
REMINDER -- please leave me your e-mail address in your comments if you are playing for the blog candy.  Many times I can't contact you because Blogger doesn't give me your e-mail address.  Please put it in the comments section and don't trust that it will show up just because it's in the info section of your comment.

     OK, have you checked your list of scavenger items to find that thing guys just "can't" live without?  lol  Glad you stopped by, and leave a comment if you want in on the blog candy!  OK, now head on over to  Shelly's blog.  She's one of our special guests this week and I know you're going to love what she has to share.  :-)

     Happy Scavenging.  NanaConnie
