back-tack 4 coming....

in the 2nd half of 2007. Al and I were trying to run it in the first half of 2007 but life's gotten hold of us both, life away from the computer that is. So we will be running it, but just later this year. After June and before December. LOL. So keep your eyes peeled and your crafting ears to the ground.

We've come up with a ripsnorter of a theme this year that we're both very excited about.

Happy crafting!

THE OFFICIAL BLACKLIST

Weellllll. Seems it's time to make the Outstanding List an official Blacklist. We think we've allowed more than enough time for correspondance, packages etc to be done, and that it is only fair on the people left behind that this now becomes official. Listed below are the names of the players who will be remaining on the Blacklist indefinately. This list will become a public list, and will sit over on the sidebar once this post is no longer the current post. We will be retaining this format of playing Backtack for every subsequent running, and the blacklist will be added to at the end of each play. Because it is public, it can be accessed by anyone running anything similar. We have made arrangements with the partners of these people to receive special care packages via Angels, and we'd like to thank those who came forward and offered their time to do this for them.

Do you have wings?

Aaah we're at the pointy bit peeps, seems we have a few squelchers, not a huge number, but a number (around 4 people). The list will be updated and published soon.

So we're fishing....if you're interested in being an angel to a BT3 participant who hasn't received something please send an email to backtack3ATgmailDOTcom with the word ANGEL in the subject line and we'll get back to you with some details.

Thanks in advance!

BT3 - Picture gallery update

Hi! I've just done an update to the picture gallery, here's a link to the images uploaded today.

BT3 - flickr gallery live

Pheewww! It's up. I did have grand plans to put everyone's blog address with their photo but I was running out of time and steam. So feel free to add your blog address in the comments section. We think there are still more pics to come so keep on sending them to backtack3ATgmailDOTcom and we'll do another upload later this week.

It looks fantastic! Thank you for playing and we hope you enjoyed yourselves. The LIST will continue to be updated and we'll post soon.

Keep your eyes peeled for future back-tack surprises.

flickr and poll

Howdy ya'll, Nicole here, I'm running a little behind with the flickr, bloody headache. I'll be working on it today, Sunday, in my part of the world.

The poll is closed and we have a winner, congrats to Pijije we'll be in contact soon. Thanks for voting!

Have a great weekend.

ready, steady, VOTE!

Ok you ready? It was difficult, we had a little negotiating, all friendly only a thumb wrestle involved. Alison is preggers, so thumb wrestling's about as energetic as we'll get at the moment! The criteria for our judging, well that would be telling, however it's all in good fun and not to be taken too seriously, we could go on and on justifying our choices. Saying that it was quite tricky coming up with just 5, there could have been a whole lot more and the 5 here are a great representation of backtack3 for various reasons as I'm sure you can see. So on to the voting...

The five you're voting on, in alphabetical order. Click on the link on each finalist to see their post and further pictures of their creation. We encourage you to read the posts and check out further pictures on the finalists blogs.
