		<description><![CDATA[That's right!  I'm celebrating my birthday this week and I'm having a sale and hosting lots of fun giveaways all week long!  If you're a newsletter subscriber, then you already know what's happening this week - but the rest of you will just need to keep checking back.  I'm a stinker huh? LOL

So, first things first - <span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Feb 1 through Feb 6 I'm having a 30% off sale in my store. </strong><span style="color: #000000;">YAY!
</span></span>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=98"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://mellowbutterfly.com/dst/mbatton-dstbanner.gif" alt="" /></a></p>
<span style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span>

Please note that the sale excludes the collabs and commercial use products and ALL the fab new things that will be released on Feb 4th (hint, hint! Check out the banner ad I have running at TDC and DST if you want a sneak peek at one of them)

And guess what else!?  I'm the sponsor for the challenge at The Digichick today!  Since I'm writing this post ahead of time, I don't know what the challenge is exactly, lol, so head on over to the <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/blog/">blog at The Digichick</a> to find out!  Everyone who plays along will get a 30% off coupon to my store AND one lucky person will be selected to receive a $5.00 coupon to my store.

Be sure to come check back here on my blog tomorrow for a fun and super easy giveaway!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[October is going to be an absolutely astounding month over at The Digichick!  Let me just quote the information from today's newsletter - as it sums everything up so perfectly!
<blockquote><em>Big things are happening at the Digichick this October! Collabs and Workshops and Challenges--oh my!</em>

<em>First up, the Digichick Designers have come together to create a massive collection of gorgeous papers, embellishments, templates and hybrid printables that we hope will help as you seek to tell your life's story. This collection comes in three "Chapters" all based on the same lovely coordinating palette of colors.</em>

<em><a href="http://www.mellowbutterfly.com/designblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/everylife.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-99" title="Every Life Has a Story" src="http://www.mellowbutterfly.com/designblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/everylife-400x233.jpg" alt="Every Life Has a Story" width="400" height="233" /></a></em>

<em><strong><a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=20796" target="_blank">Chapter 1</a></strong> is a collection that includes papers and embellishments in warm and golden hues, as well as a set of four lovely Quick Pages and two hybrid printable boxes.</em>

<em><strong><a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=20795" target="_blank">Chapter 2</a></strong> is a collection that includes papers and embellishments in cool and leafy hues, as well as a set of three fantastic templates and a hybrid printable recipe box. (This kit is currently only available as a part of our special Workshop at the Digichick until October 12th.)</em>

<em><strong><a href="http://thedailydigi.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&#38;cPath=1&#38;products_id=89">Chapter 3</a></strong> is a sampler that includes all the warm and cool colors of this collection in one kit and can be found as part of the Digi Files #8 at <a href="http://www.thedailydigi.com:">the Daily Digi</a> this month. (Both Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 will available at TDC on November 5th.)</em>

<em>And we hope you will join us for a class that we're all very excited about:</em>

<em><a href="http://www.mellowbutterfly.com/designblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/workshop.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-100" title="every life has a story workshop" src="http://www.mellowbutterfly.com/designblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/workshop-400x233.jpg" alt="every life has a story workshop" width="400" height="233" /></a></em>

<em>For all the details, be sure to check out <strong><a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=20795" target="_blank">Every Life Has a Story - The Workshop</a></strong>. The class will begin next week on Monday, October 5th. Registration is open until October 12th.</em>

<em>And we'll be hosting challenges that are open to everyone that will accompany the Workshop all month long every Tuesday and Thursday. We hope to see you there!</em>

<em>Also in October our Designers and Creative Team members have planned a HUGE event just for you. We'll be having a month full of special challenges--one every day--that will have a special prize, like a coupon code or freebie for everyone who participates! Just for this month, we'll be putting our Chickie Points system on hold (although you can still earn them on Tuesdays and Thursdays with our Journaling Workshop challenges). Come on over to the <strong><a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26921" target="_blank">Mega Challenge Thread</a></strong> and check out all the fun!</em></blockquote>

<p>And now for some good news and some bad news (depending on how you look at it I guess lol)  I the <strong>good</strong> news is that I have a freebie for you that coordinates with Every Life Has a Story. A set of glitters! The <strong>bad</strong> news is that this will be the last new set of glitter styles that I will be releasing. Yes, I know&#8230;makes me a little sad too. But I think it&#8217;s time to move on to other things.  So, enjoy!</p>
