Kickin' off the new year

Good morning and welcome to a brand new decade! I have a feeling it's going to be a wild ride! :) And what better way to start off the year than with a weekend full of TGF fun?

It's release day at the Greeting Farm and the four little Wild Sprouts that are so near and dear to my heart are finally going to be available for purchase in the store at 9 am CST. And if that's not exciting enough for you, today also marks the grand opening of the brand new Club Anya & Friends Challenge blog! To kick things off there, we will be hosting an entire day of challenges beginning at 9 am CST, so be sure to come on over and party with us! The TGF Farmers and Team Anya have joined forces and each member has a special challenge for you today that will go up every hour, on the hour. So check out the new digs and grab a new badge or two to show your Anya & Friends love. :)
In addition, the TGF blog is hosting the 12th and final sketch Challenge of the "12 Days of Sketches" so if you've been playing along or are just getting started, head over to TGF, check out the sketch and see who won last week's FFF challenge too! Remember, you have until Sunday 1/3/10 at 8pm CST to complete all 12 and be entered to win the GRAND PRIZE! One random person who completes all 12 sketches will win the ENTIRE January release! WOOT WOOT! Pretty sweet incentive to get card making don't you think?
Oh and remember today's hourly challenges? Well each one of those will have a winner too and they will get to choose one of the new Sprout as their prize, so be here to party with us! Live overseas? No problem! Challenges will be open through Sunday, 1/3/10 at 8pm CST and all of the winners will be announced on the TGF and CA & Friends blog on Monday, 1/4 along with the winner of the 12 Days of Sketches challenge.
And if that wasn't enough... in addition to each individual challenge winner, there will be another prize pack of the ENTIRE January release that will go to a random winner who completes ALL of the New Year's day challenges!

And don't forget that you still have a few more hours to enter in for a chance to win my Wild Sprout candy give-aways. Just scroll down to check them all out... I'll be posting back on here later tonight with my four winners! Yeah!

Oh and did you see the changes I made to little Ruby on my card today? I swapped out her body for Stella's and drew some wings in so she could fly. :) I've also been practicing with Randi's magical Copic color recipes for her hair and dress and even though I've still got a ways to go before they look nearly as good as hers do, I'm pretty happy with my first attempt. :)

Anywho, thanks for making 2009 such a huge success for the Greeting Farm and thanks for being with us for the New Year, new release, new blog and tons of new fun to be had on the Farm in 2010! Happy New Year everyone! :)
