Happy Birthday, ScrapStreet! We celebrated all month long. Dora donned the title of “The Riddler” and kept us scratching our heads in a different, fun new way every day. Each “riddle” lead us to fun challenge that may have been scrapping related or not, the challenge may have called for a special new avatar or blog link in our signatures or even a special “feel the love” challenge where we got to email our special ScrapStreet sisters and wish them a marvelous day!

All the riddles and challenges lead to obtaining special birthday “cupcakes.” Each cupcake was worth one ticket in special birthday celebration drawing. The three prize winners won a wonderful box of Halloween goodies from our sponsor this month, My Little Yellow Bicycle. Lynda, Brianne and Spink will share the wonderful prize pack!

Dora also hosted two weeks of super-evil Saturday Night Bingo. After having a hiatus from Saturday Night Bingo over the summer, it was a blast to get back into the swing of things, feverishly hitting the refresh button, anxious not to miss any of Dora’s hidden words.

Our gallery was kept hopping by our digital creative team members. They loaded it up with awesome layouts using the great digital kits designed especially for ScrapStreet.com.

Lori hosted a roaring fun, month-long birthday bingo, won by our very own Kack (aka Linda). Bingo was declared an “anything” goes game, so there was no telling what kind of words, phrases or icons Lori would be calling. And, once again, the game lasted all month long!

The gals are enjoying the new fall line-up for prime time television and finding that even with TiVo and DVR there are just way too many great shows this season. One group is playing Fantasy “Survivor,” another group is getting all tangled in the web of what is called “Fringe,” bets are already being taken for winners of this season's “Dancing with the Stars,” and the “Hero” addicts are finally getting their fix!

A new book series has hit the Streets! “Twilight” has bitten us all. A new forum has been set up for discussions regarding the series and while some of the ladies have read the entire series, some of us are just getting hooked on book one and are already in love with Bella and Edward. Proof that the book is a “must read” a certain teenage girl (a girl who does not like to read) discovered the book and could not put it down for three days.

And I certainly can not forget to say a great big “Welcome to the world!” to sweet baby Bell! The newest ScrapStreet bundle of love, Reagan Elaine Bell, joined us this month. Congratulations to Amber and the growing Bell family.
