It’s Christmas in July!

Posted on | July 1, 2012 | 9 Comments

 

Welcome to Christmas in July- Unscripted style, of course! We’re celebrating it this year by having a month-long virtual Christmas party. We have designer spotlights, games, lots of prizes, a chance for YOU to showcase your favorite Christmas projects, and more! There’s lots of fun in store for you this month!

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHTS

We have lots of designers for you to meet so, here at our virtual Christmas party, we’ll take you to different rooms of our virtual house where you’ll meet the extremely talented members of our design team! They’ll each have a short intro on the Unscripted blog, then we’ll direct you to their personal blog where they’ll share something about themselves. Each designer has something unique and wonderful planned, so we hope you’ll stop in every day to check it out!

SUNDAY BAZAAR

What’s a Christmas season without craft shows?! Each Sunday we are offering a chance for YOU to showcase yourselves in our Sunday Bazaar. We will have a special Inlinkz opportunity to connect to your own favorite Christmas projects. Paper or not, new or not, this is a chance for you to share your Christmas favorites!

RAK-TYPE PRIZES

Our designers have lots of extra stuff and are anxious to pass along the joy, so we are having lots of random drawings and giveaways. Be sure to check in often! We have lots to give away!

GRAND PRIZE

Our sponsor for Christmas in July is our own Arielle! She owns Wax Fruit Company digital stamps company and is graciously offering our grand prize- a $25 credit to her store! Qualifying is easy, all you have to do is post an Inlinkz link to your own project during the month of July. That’s it! Each link counts as one entry and there is no limit to the number of entries for the month. Sunday Bazaar entries count, too! And since this is a digital prize (no postage involved), anyone in any country is eligible.

CHRISTMAS SONG BINGO

There is a blog that had a game and Bingo is its name-o! B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo is its name-o!

This is such a fun game!!! Of course, since this is Unscripted and Christmas in July, this is a different kind of Bingo! Below is a list of Christmas song titles. If you’d like to participate in the game, choose 25 of these titles and email your list to me at sarahkozy@hotmail.com no later than Saturday, July 7.  You will receive a confirmation email when I receive your list. Your Bingo “card” will be the list of songs you have chosen and we will play until “blackout” (when all 25 songs on someone’s list are called).

The first three songs will be called Sunday, July 8. I will check my email for any last-minute participants before I call the first songs. Any emails received after the first songs are called will not be accepted. Four songs will be called every day until someone calls Bingo, so don’t forget to check in every day for the new words! You call Bingo simply by replying “Bingo!” to the blog post.

In the case of two people having their last song called on the same day, the winner will be determined by the person who posts a reply calling Bingo first (using the automatic time stamp). The winner’s song list will be double checked to avoid mistakes and the winner will receive a goody bag!

So pick your 25 songs, email the list to me no later than Saturday, July 7, and get ready to play! :)

    How fun! I’m now humming Christmas songs under my breath. I can’t sing them because we have a house rule of no Christmas songs until the Friday after Thanksgiving. lol

    I LOVE this idea, thanks so much for putting together some Christmas fun for July. Last July I had our first surprise Christmas in July party for my kids and they loved it. Planning on doing it again this year and these ideas will help.

    to Francineb above, I’m the same way about Christmas music in my house, now these songs will be playing in my head too. It’s going to be a fun month!
