The Tucson treasure challenge is moving to the next level!

We announced the challenge in the May 2009 issue of BeadStyle. We asked you to email us to be entered into the drawing, and that's exactly what you did! We had about 3,000 (!!!) entries!

Earlier this week, we selected six of those entries to compete in the challenge. We mailed them a kit of Tucson treasures and now they have until June 26 to create something fabulous and mail it back to us. We're all excited to see what they come up with.

Congratulations to those who were selected! If you haven't heard from us by now, unfortunately, that means your name was not chosen. Thank you for participating and please continue to be active in our challenges!

Speaking of, the July 2009 issue is on sale June 2, and subscribers will be receiving the issue as early as next week! Our newest challenge is announced in that issue, so be sure to check it out! Also in the July issue: The finalists for the jewelry box revisited challenge. Be sure to take a look and vote for your favorite one at BeadStyleMag.com/challenge.
