Sunday Funday Changes!

UPDATE WEDNESDAY EVENING  10:39 PM EASTERN TIME

Thanks for all your kind comments about the games.  And yes, this will be fun as well.  The bad news - there were five comments that did not include emails. It is imperative you leave an email or we cannot contact you if you win. Those names were not included in the randomizer.   I ran the randomizer twice, each time all the names with emails were included.   Here are the results:

First Run - winning the August Template Bundle -  Heather Higgs

Second Run - winning Travelogue California  -  Zanthia

Congratulations to you both. I am sending your coupons in the mail to the address specified as soon as I finish this update!   I'll see you all on Sunday!  (Winners will be announced again on Sunday)

*******************************************************************************

Good morning, ladies!!  Let's start off with the solution to last week's Jigsaw Puzzle.

Open Face Peach Pie by 3BluEyedBabies

Funny thing is about this layout, the products used varied from store gallery to store gallery.  If you saw the layout on Gotta Pixel, the products were those from the GGI release. Each store gallery had a different set of products.  So - everyone had the correct products and was entered in the random drawing.  Our winner is SANDRA GRIMM.  Congratulations, Sandra!  Your coupons were mailed out to you on Saturday, August 1st.

You all probably noticed the title this week is Sunday Funday Changes!  It's true. Starting today, Sunday Funday is changing to Sneak Peek Sunday! No more games.  On our inaugural post, there are TWO sneak peeks!  There are two upcoming releases this week, so two chances to win.

First let me say this. There are some exceptions to where Sneak Peeks will be held. Reminders about the sneak peeks and their entry location will still be posted at all stores weekly with a link to the Sunday blog post.

1. You will still find the Hatchery Sneak Peeks on TheDigiChick in the Happy Little Chickadees thread, hosted by justpennys  (aka Penny, The DigiChick Ambassador)
2. You will still find the GingerScraps Buffet Sneak Peek on Ginger Scraps in the What's Cookin'? Sneak Peeks of all New Products thread, hosted by familyhistoryscrapper (aka Amy, the Ginger Scraps Ambassador.). 
3. You will still find the Gotta Grab It Sneak Peek on Gotta Pixel in the Site & Designer Announcements thread, hosted by Connie Prince Designs (aka Laramie, the Gotta Pixel Ambassador)

The rest of the Sneak Peeks will be held right here on Connie's blog on Sundays. Products release on Thursdays.  Winners will be notified on Thursday of the winners. I will make a little addendum on the Sunday post announcing the winners, and the winners will again be announced on the following Sunday post, if that makes sense.  (Just in case someone doesn't refer back to the original post.)

There a couple of rules you need to know.

1. All comments are to be placed ON THIS POST  by Wednesday evening at 10:00 PM Eastern time.
2. You MUST INCLUDE an email address where we can reach you in case you win. Should you fail to include an email address, I will not include your name in the random drawing. 
3. On weeks where multiple products are released, you need only enter your name once. You will automatically be placed in both random drawings to win. 

I know everyone is concerned about junk mail and spam.  Feel free to enter your emails in the following fashion:   coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com      Use parenthesis and words in place of the usual signs. 

This week, there are two products releasing on Thursday.  By the Sneak Peek, it looks like it's time for the monthly Template Bundle!  And is that Hollywood I see in the other Sneak Peek? Hollywood, California.  I wonder....

1st Sneak Peek for August 6th, 2015 release

2nd Sneak Peek for August 6th, 2015 release

For your chance to win each of these products, go ahead and leave your comment below.  Something along the lines of "Thanks for the chance to win, followed by your email" will be more than sufficient! I will place all comment submitters (assuming there is an email address) into two random drawings. The #1 position of the first drawing will receive the first Sneak Peek.  The #1 position of the second drawing will receive the second Sneak Peek. (No need to leave more than one comment.)

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an email: coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com

Remember, there will be reminders at each store. DO NOT LEAVE your comments there.  To be eligible to win, PLACE YOUR COMMENTS HERE ON THIS BLOG POST!  

Good luck to everyone!!  These are really awesome products coming up. 

Sunday Funday

Good afternoon, ladies!  Hope you all didn't miss the puzzle with your morning coffee.  Yesterday was Chrissy and Andy's 7th anniversary and we took them out to celebrate.  Of course, I got to sleep in. My darling husband went out early today and did the grocery shopping.  What a guy!  Anyhow... time to get back to the business of the Sunday Funday post!

Here is the solution to last week's puzzle.  Ocean Air by Tiggernjen (who is in Disney World again and I imagine we'll be seeing more awesome layouts with Disney pics real soon!)  The products used were: The July 2015 Template Bundle,  Let's Go Coastal Kit, Let's Go Coastal Extra Papers, Let's Go Coastal Embossed Papers and Let's Go Coastal Word Art.

The winner of the $10 coupon is KIM NERO. Congratulations, Kim!!  I sent the coupons out before starting today's post so you all should have those in your email boxes now.

Since you all love the jigsaw puzzles, we'll probably stick with those for awhile.  It is looking as if flash may be on the way out.  So we should enjoy it while we still can!  I am hoping an alternative will be made available for the future though.

Reminder: You do need flash for the puzzle, so no mobile devices. Use a desktop or laptop.  You can solve the puzzle right here on Connie's blog. You need to send me your answers by Friday, July 31, 2015 at 9:00 PM Eastern time.  (A reminder to everyone that the Blue Moon is on July 31st as well!) Send your answers to coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com.  Don't forget to list ALL of the products used in the creation of a layout, please.  And if you left some love, that would be greatly appreciated I'm sure.
That all said... here we go with this week's puzzle:

Online jigsaw puzzles from JigsawSite.com

Wishing you all a wonderful week!! See you next month! (Can you believe it is almost August??)

Sunday Funday!

It's that time of week again!!  Some of you forgot to include ALL of the products used in last week's layout.  Let's look at last weeks complete puzzle.

Doorstep Dog by tomosia

The products used are:  Talk Nerdy To Me,  Talk Nerdy To Me Templates and Talk Nerdy To Me Extra Papers by Designs by Connie Prince.  I love the photos of Hollywood and the journaling. But you all know that I am a HUGE dog lover.  I think I love dogs more than Disney World!  Yep. I really said that.  LOL

Anyway,  randomizer selected Sandra Grimm as the winner of this week's $10 coupon for Connie's store!  Congratulations, Sandra!  Coupons will be going out as soon as the post is published!

Love your comments!  By far the most popular of my games is no other than the Jigsaw Puzzle.  That said, you win! Another jigsaw puzzle it is!

Online jigsaw puzzles from JigsawSite.com

This one is the 81 piece variety.  Last week, Bekki solved the puzzle and had it to me within minutes of my posting!  Maybe I can slow her down to 10 minutes this week?  We'll see!  The reminders:
Flash is required so no mobile devices.  You can solve the puzzle right here on Connie's blog. You need send me ALL OF THE PRODUCTS used to complete the layout.  My hint this week: It's a Disney World layout!  (That really narrows it down, right?)  Email me your answers to coyotelady(at)gmail(com) by Friday, July 24th at 9 PM Eastern.  As usual, everyone that plays will receive a $1 coupon to Connie's store. Those with the correct answers are run through the randomizer and one lucky person receives a $10 coupon to Connie's store.  

Good luck to everyone and have a great week!  

Sunday Funday!

Lovely layouts, ladies!!  I am thinking you all love the games and puzzles more than doing layouts! So you win.  We'll stick to puzzles and games.  But... I did receive a few layouts.  And the randomizer has selected Faye Warren's as the winning layout.

Created using Adventure Time Template 1 and the Land of Liberty Kit by Connie Prince

Since there weren't all that many layouts, I will share with you the other layouts I received.

Super work, ladies. Sending out your coupons soon as I get this posted!

Taking the hint, we are doing a Jigsaw Puzzle today!  (I can hear the joy now!)  Reminder: You do need flash to do the puzzle, so be sure to use a desktop or laptop.  No mobile devices.  Solve the jigsaw and find the layout in one of Connie's galleries.  Then email to me coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com  the kit(s) used to create the layout! Please send them by Friday, July 17, 2015 at 9 PM Eastern.  For any newbies, everyone receives a $1 coupon to Connie's store for playing along.  All the correct answers are placed into the randomizer and one lucky duck receives a $10 coupon!  Y'all ready? Set.. and GO!

If you have any problems with the puzzle, drop me a note. coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com. We'll figure something out.

Sunday Funday!

Hi, ladies!! Hope you all had a wonderful and safe weekend so far!  I was waiting to see if I would get the coupons to send out, but decided I had better get this posted for you all.  Connie's mother-in-law passed away earlier this week, with the funeral being this weekend.  I know you will all be super-understanding and I will get the coupons out soon as I get them myself!  Thank you so much for patience in advance.

Everyone was correct about the kit used on last week's Jigsaw Puzzle. It was Land of Liberty.  Quite fitting for this time of year.  Must say I love the feedback you all include in your answers.   I am coming to the conclusion that your favorite game is the Jigsaw Puzzle!!   The winner of the $10 coupon is Marjorie Mikesell!! Congratulations, Marjorie.  Here is the layout that was created by chigirl:

I wanted to try something just a little different this week. With it being the 4th and so many family activities going on, I was thinking it would be great if you all shared with me some of your layouts of your holiday activities!! I'm sure many of you play the Showoff Wednesday with Connie.  This is going to be rather similar.  For our game, I want you to create a layout of something you did this weekend.  Yes, one of Connie's products is required.   (Doesn't have to be Disney, either!) Email me a link to your layout in one of Connie's galleries at coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com.  Please get your emails in to me by July 10th at 9 PM Eastern time.  Make sure your layout includes appropriate credits, please!  Everyone who plays along with me will receive a $1 coupon.  One lucky person will receive the $10 coupon. Just know that your layout may be featured on the blog, Connie's Facebook Page or Pinterest, so if you have privacy concerns, be sure to let me know in your email.   I might even use some of your layouts for future Jigsaw Puzzles.  

Sunday Funday!

You ladies are too good!!  Or we are just all Disney fans at heart!  The winner of the coupon for last week's Disney Trivia Hero Quiz is Karen Robinson!  I will be getting your coupons out just as soon as I get the post up!  Sorry to be late. We started building an ark here!  All this rain. Our basement has  way more water in it that I care to admit.  The ground is totally saturated!  So many floods around here it isn't funny. I just don't get the warning about "Turn around don't drown" though.  As if people really need to be warned.  (I guess maybe some do or they wouldn't bother??)  I don't mind the water so much. Just wish it would quit affecting my internet already! Grrrrrrrrrr!

That said... here are the answers to last week's Hero Trivia Quiz!

Online jigsaw puzzles from JigsawSite.com

It appears to be functioning under those browsers but if anyone has any trouble, give me a holler and I can get you a direct link to the puzzle.  What you need to tell me is the name of the kit used in this layout!  The layout is posted to The DigiChick, Gotta Pixel and GingerScraps Connie Prince Galleries. Email your answer to me at coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com by July 3, 2015 at 9 PM.

Sunday Funday!!

You'd think it was my birthday or something!  Sorry to be late today, ladies.  I'm sure most of you know yesterday was my birthday.  Chrissy and Andy took us to the Outback for a MARVELOUS meal.  Joe woke me up this morning to tell me Dawn was making bacon. Who can say no to bacon?

Enough of that... let's get on with Sunday Funday!  You all did wonderful on the word search last week.  The randomizer says that Kathy McCaughey has won the $10 coupon to Connie's store!! Congratulations, Kathy!!

This week are going to have a jigsaw puzzle.  It's going to be a little tougher this week!  I selected the 81 piece puzzle.  I think this makes the second time we've done that.  To recap for the new ladies... Solve the puzzle. (It's a layout taken from Connie's gallery at Gotta Pixel.) Send me which of Connie's kit or kits were used to create this layout to coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com by Friday, June 12, 2015 at 9 PM.  If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an email.

Note: the puzzle can be completed right here on Connie's blog.  Because it requires flash, you'll need a laptop or desktop. You won't be able to complete the puzzle on a tablet or phone. That said... here's the puzzle!

Good luck everyone!!

Sunday Funday - Word Search

Morning, ladies!  I must say that I have no idea why some of you had trouble with the copying and pasting of last week's trivia quiz. I do apologize for that!  Let's see if I can get it copied here for the answers. Oddly enough, it copied into the post. It even allowed me to do the answers in the post. When I went to preview, nothing. I think I'll avoid that method in the future! That said.. let's see what I can figure out now! Not perfect, but I think this will work. 

• "I live under the sea and have two eel friends; I will give you your desire if you have something to lend." Who am I?  
• URSULA, the sea witch, gives Ariel sea legs in exchange for her voice. Once Ariel is on land, Ursula goes back on her word and takes human form to try and steal Prince Eric away! Ursula is a sneaky one!

• "If I don't scare you, then surely my horrible taste in fashion will!" Who am I? 
• Surely one of the most underhanded of the baddies, CRUELLA DE VIL acts as a friend to Anita and Jim and then snatches their puppies right from underneath their noses! Cruella's obsession over Dalmatian fur and her black and white hair make her number one among the "Fashion Don'ts" in villainy.

• "If you are deemed the Fairest of Them All,' watch out for my apple which may lead to your downfall." Who am I? 
• The first of the evil ladies, THE EVIL QUEEN is definitely the vainest one. She was willing to kill her stepdaughter, Snow White, just so that she could be the prettiest woman in all the land. The Queen is so persistent that she was willing to transform herself into a hag; and she would have succeeded too, if it weren't for those darned dwarfs!

• "I want to be the greatest sorcerer in the land, but when I become a genie my plans are foiled when I'm buried in the sand!" Who am I? 
• JAFAR is the Sultan's assistant who has his eyes on the Sultanate and Princess Jasmine. With the help of his annoying parrot, Iago, he takes control of the palace and then Genie. Only when he wishes himself into a genie is Aladdin able to trap him into his lamp for hopefully eternity. He later escapes in "The Return of Jafar."

• "I am a notorious pirate who had two good hands, until a nasty crocodile came along and ruined my plans." Who am I? 
• CAPTAIN HOOK is one of the more famous baddies because of the hook on his hand. A hungry crocodile ate his hand, but Hook knows when he is coming along because the animal also ate a clock which ticks when it is coming along. Hook is always trying to defeat Peter Pan, but meets his end when he and Peter sword fight and Peter lets him fall into the crocodile's open jaws.

• "I am a very rich widow with two eligible girls, but my stepdaughter makes me want to hurl!" Who am I? 
• LADY TREMAINE may not have any magical powers, but her cruel treatment of Cinderella is still very sinister. Jealous of Cinderella from the start, Lady Tremaine makes her nothing better than a slave, hoping the beautiful young maiden will never have the opportunity to one up her own daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. She is a very greedy woman, and stops at nothing for the opportunity to move up in social status.

• "With transformation powers and a raven for a pet, I doom a princess to death before the sun sets." Who am I?    
• In my opinion, MALEFICENT is the most evil villain of them all. Maleficent is an extremely jealous fairy who places a curse on Princess Aurora because she did not receive an invite to the party. She has goons as her henchmen, but her raven is her closest companion and does some of her dirty work. She later captures the prince and and even transforms into a dragon to keep him from saving Princess Aurora, but he stabs the sword of truth through her heart and kills her.
• The actress who voiced Maleficent, Eleanor Audley, also voiced Lady Tremaine
• I think everyone knows that Maleficent is MY personal favorite Disney character!

• "I am as charming and handsome and good-looking as can be, but I need a wife who is as perfect as me!" Who am I? 
• GASTON, the vainest of the male villains, knows that he is the most attractive man in his town, but he also has no brains. He chases after Belle in the attempt to get her to be his wife, but she is disgusted with him. Like any other villain, he can not see to the heart, and attempts to kill the Beast just because he is hideous. Gaston finally meets his demise when he loses his footing on the ceiling of the Beast's castle.

• "I love the color purple and with my appearance I'm smitten, I want to be emperor but am turned into a kitten." Who am I?  
• One of the more interesting Disney villains, YZMA is very smart, skilled at chemistry, and has a burning desire to be the emperor by any means possible, even killing Kuzco. Of course, that plan goes wrong, and Kuzco is turned into a llama. But she gets her comeuppance at the end when she is accidentally transformed into a kitten by one of her own potions. The voice of Yzma was Eartha Kitt, who passed away December 25, 2008.

• "I'm greedy and cruel with big red hair, when I find the Devil's Eye I do not intend to share." Who am I?     
• MADAME MEDUSA grabs the young orphan Penny and takes her down to the Everglades in the Devil's Bayou where she hopes to find The Devil's Eye, a huge diamond that has never been discovered. Of course, she treats Penny horribly and makes Penny risk drowning to get the diamond for her. She has two pet alligators that later turn on her after Penny and her animal friends attack Medusa and escape.

Sunday Funday!

I am so very proud and impressed with all of you!!  Most of you had 100% correct answers for last week's trivia quiz.  While there were a few who missed a couple, everyone still had 7 or more. So everyone was in the drawing for the $10 coupon. Seems you all know your Disney Princesses!!

Candy is going to be really happy she played!  Candy was the randomly selected winner of that $10 coupon!  AND it was the first time she played along with us. Welcome, Candy!  And I hope we see more of you.  Here's the correct answers:

1. What princess was often seen in the company of a short, bald, mute man?  SNOW WHITE

The short, bald, mute man is Dopey, one of the Seven Dwarfs.  

2. Which Disney princess lived most of her life as simple, parent-less girl but then discovered that she was really a princess and met the love of her life?  AURORA 

Aurora, a.k.a. "Sleeping Beauty," grew up as Briar Rose in the country with three fairy "aunts." Ariel was "The Little Mermaid," and was always a princess. Belle didn't become a princess until she married the Beast.

3. This princess wanted "adventure in the great wide somewhere" more than she could tell, and found it in the least likely suitor.  Who is she?  BELLE

Belle sang, "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell" in "Belle." Her suitor was, of course, the Beast.

4. This princess and the man she fell in love with both disguised themselves.  Who is she??  JASMINE

Okay, I know that was a little tricky because both Ariel and Aurora also disguised themselves, but neither Prince Eric nor Prince Philip ever disguised themselves. (Prince Philip just didn't tell Aurora who he was.) Herein lies the trick.

5. This Native American princess rubbed noses with a young, attractive adventurer.  What is her name?  TIGER LILY

No, it's not Pocahontas. She and John Smith smooched, but never actually did any nose-rubbing. The only characters who did were Tigerlily and Peter Pan. Also accepted: Tiger Lily, Princess Tigerlily

6. This princess-by-marriage underwent a magical transformation that allowed her handsome prince to fall in love with her.  Who is she? CINDERELLA

"Bippity Boppity Boo!" Cinderella was the princess-by-marriage. Ariel and Aurora were born princesses, and Belle didn't transform

7. This princess was fluent in many different languages, among them French, English and her very own.  Can you name her?  KIDA

Kida was the Atlantian princess who was able to communicate with Milo and his fellow travellers through her knowledge of language. Also accepted: Princess Kida, Kidagakash, Princess Kidagakash

8. Which princess risked her life to save her loved ones and her people from a potentially life-altering battle?  POCAHONTAS

Mulan was the only other character who experienced a battle, and she wasn't a princess.

9. This (princess) lion met her betrothed at a young age, in the first "Lion King" movie.  Then did not see him again until she happened upon him by chance.  Who is she?  NALA 

She wasn't human, but she was still a princess. Simba, heir to Mufasa's throne, was her betrothed. Also accepted: Princess Nala

10. This princess seduced her prince with song, but he fell in love with her without knowing it was she who sang.  Who is she?  ARIEL

"You've got your looks, your pretty face, and don't underestimate the importance of body language," Ursula told her. And it is this "body language" that caused Prince Eric to fall in love with Ariel without ever hearing her voice.

So, what do you say we do this one more week?  This particular quiz will test your knowledge about the Disney Villains. The average score is said to be 8 out of 10 for this particular quiz, so we'll use that score for number of correct answers to be included in the random drawing!   Just copy and paste into an email and send me your answers by next Friday, May 29th by 9:00 PM Eastern time.  Send to coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com.
