Paper Playful: February 2017

Posts

We, the Paper Playful team of "volunteers", would like to remind everyone that these posts are brought to you in our precious "spare" time.

Many of us have full time jobs & families but willingly give up what little time we have left in our day to bring you updated lists of challenges.

We cannot guarantee to have them done by a specific time of day as life often gets in the way. The challenges we list for you also update at different times of the day.

Thanks
The VOLUNTEERS of Paper Playful

ATTENTION Challenge Blog Owners

While we are very happy to list your challenges:

Blogs inactive for 6 weeks will be deleted from our listings unless previous arrangements have been made. We ask that you notify us if your blog takes a break from challenges, and provide the re-start date.

You can contact us by leaving a comment on any blog post, or by email at paperplayful@yahoo.com
Sorry, we don't list Facebook challenges as we can't require our moderators to have accounts everywhere
While we would love to include all on-line crafting challenges, there simply is not enough time or man-power to do that. At this time, only challenges which include Paper Crafting will be listed.

We hope you will benefit from being listed with Paper Playful.

-- Your Paper Playful Volunteers --
