April @ PurpleScraps.

2009-04-21T22:25:00.001+09:30

It's almost that time again, daylight saving chances, cooler weather on its way, the perfect time to stay indoors and scrap, what could be better. Easter Bunny is also just around the corner to help celebrate our first break for the year. Pssst, we are now officially ... 5 PURPLE YEARS OLD.

Just a reminder we have now made it possible for sites to bring their challenges/cyber crops to us, like the sites/blogs that are around that list challenges etc, but in our case, instead of sites having to send an email off and wait/hope that it gets on in time, they can add it themselves, and follow up in the same post. What could be better.
