Reminder ~ NBUS Challenge #5 Starts Tomorrow!

Welcome, my friends! 

It's the start of another fresh and fabulous week! Some of you are in the middle of your long weekend and I hope you are having a great one!

No matter where you are, are you becited about tomorrow's NBUS Challenge #5? I know I am!

I am publishing this post today so you have the important information which may answer any questions you have.

This challenge is run just like other sketch, color, or theme challenges you may have played in. It is not a HOP, where you go from blog to blog. HOWEVER, I do encourage participants to visit and comment on the blogs of other NBUS participants and I certainly want you to visit the blogs/shops of all of my sponsors!

Tomorrow's post will be the actual challenge with the Inlinkz button at the end where you can link your NBUS creations.

12:05 a.m. PST on September 8, 2015 to 

11:55 p.m. PST on September 18, 2015.

If you would like to know the history of this challenge and see the four prior challenges and their galleries, please click HERE.

• You must use a NBUS item on your creation and indicate what it is. It doesn't matter if it is old or new, although that old virginal schtuff would really like some attention!
• The theme is "Anything Goes!"
• This challenge is a thank you to my followers, so to be eligible for a prize, please join via the blue "Join This Site" button on my side bar.
• Cut and paste the NBUS badge into your post or on your side bar and include a link back to the challenge post.
• Please enter only four other challenges in addition to this one, for a total of five.
• You may enter this challenge a total of three times. New work only please.
• Link up your creation using the Inlinkz button at the bottom of tomorrow's post in the usual way.
• HAVE FUN!!

My prior four NBUS challenges only had prizes that I provided out-of-pocket to thank all my followers. But for NBUS Challenge #5, I'm thrilled to say that I have sponsors!!! 

Here is a sneak peak of the companies joining me in giving prizes to my participants!! You will have to come back tomorrow to see the actual prizes!

I'm so very, very grateful for the support of these excellent companies that we all know and love!

In addition, I will be awarding prizes as I have done in my prior challenges.

A Special Thank You!

I would like to take a minute to thank my friend Jeanne Jachna of A Kept Life! If it weren't for Jeanne, you wouldn't be seeing all these sponsors offering prizes for NBUS Challenge #5! Jeanne serves on the Design Teams for several companies. She offered to check with them about sponsoring and the ball started rolling from there. She is also a technical wizard so she prepared the above collage and helped me with the sponsor graphics and links! When you get a chance, I hope you will go and thank Jeanne, too! Bonus: she is a brilliant card artist!

Update on The Mister

Oh, one more thing. I wanted to thank all of you for your kind comments and prayers for Kevin. It turns out that he does need surgery. His hamstring is hanging by a thread, so he will be sliced, diced, and stitched Tuesday afternoon. He will have to wear a soft hip cast/brace contraption for several weeks screwed at an angle so he will be unable to sit down. Nurse Nelly and Nurse Ratchet (that would be two of my other personalities) will be moving in to help out, depending on how much sass he gives me!

I should be able to be on the computer and commenting while the poor guy is drugged resting, but if I don't get around to you as often, you'll understand why. Your continued prayers are much appreciated! Mwah!

Thank you all so much! I'll see you tomorrow! Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!

*Life is too short!
