MARCH CHALLENGE - Deadline March 3l

CCCOE March challenge

QuirkynBerkeley says:

It's time to begin working on your entry for the March challenge --"Witchy Women: Heroines, Heretics and Whores." Items will need to be tagged CCCOE marchchallenge (one word) so that we can find them and make a list of them. Deadline for entry is midnight (Pacific time) March 31. When you have your entry listed, please post its title, YOUR SHOP NAME and a link to the entry in this thread. Please copy those already listed and add yours to the bottom of the list.

Tiny Little Name Change ---

Hi Folks! Our promo committee has been renamed to the bright, shiny, new-- "PR Committee" (applause) A better fit because the word 'promo' is used too interchangeably with 'events'. The PR Committee is in charge of publicizing our events to the outside world. Thank you!
