Welcome to a special challenge in the Snippets Playground. It's the 500th one . . . with a mandatory theme of "Celebration". This should give you plenty of scope, but think along the lines of birthdays; anniversaries; new baby; engagement; wedding . . . in fact any celebration will count, as long as it's obvious.
As the mystery prizes offered in December were so popular, we have decided to offer two more mystery prizes, each comprising 5 items. Sarn will be sending out one bundle and I will be sending out the other.
Please be sure to state what snippets you used on your entry, or add a photo of them, otherwise it won't count in the prize draw. If it is not clear what snippets have been used in an entrant's blog post, the entry will automatically be excluded from being a Top Pick or a prize winner.
The Playground gates will close on this challenge at 11am (UK time) on Saturday, 1st March 2025. They'll reopen at midnight (UK time) the same day for the start of the next challenge.
Winners outside the UK: Please remember that you may be charged fees and import duty on your prize - although Di and I always send them out clearly marked as "gifts". In claiming your prize, you accept that any such fees are your responsibility.
Love and hugs from Di and Dudley Dog. xxx
That's such a cute Valentine's Day card, celebrating love.

Hugs, Sarn xxx
