Hi Nicola! I've got several Scarlet Letter charts that are even kitted! I'd love to join your SAL! Maybe I'll even manage to finish one or two in 2013.
hello deary, it is truly going to be a fun sal..
i will soon let you know..
love for you x
Oh! Those prizes are just "to die for"!!!
Oh. My. Goodness. Nicola. You are really something! Wow!
Wow... the prizes are wonderful. You should get many more members wanting to join in on the Challenge. Thanks again to you and Jo for setting this up for us.
I too got the message that I was out of photo space. I went ahead and upgraded to 5G and my credit card will be billed $2.50 per month. It's a small price to pay for the convenience of uploading photos directly from my computer.
I loved seeing the prize list. So great! As for Blogger -- that's so weird. It seems everyone is running out of space at the same time. A bit suspicious?? I'm holding my breath, wondering when I'll get that message too.
Wow! What an amazing selection of prizes. You have some great sponsors for this. So generous of you all
What a gorgeous array of prizes Nicola, you are extremely generous in both this and the time you are putting into this challenge.

Oh my goodness that is an AMAZING prize list!! I wish I was taking part in the stitch a long
Hi Nicola: this has inspired so many, well done! And the prizes to are an added very generous bonus. I too tried to download some photos and the blog would not let me do so. Take care and thank you again for such an amazing idea. x
Hi Nicola, your monthly prizes are most impressive! I'm stitching like I'm possessed just so I can get on to my first SL project.
Nicola, what a lot of thought and effort you have put into this coming year. I'm looking forward to getting started and stitching along and hopefully having a wonderful sampler or two at the end.
Gorgeous gorgeous prizes!
I changed to Photobucket a while back as my Picasa album was getting full. I think alot of people started blogging about the same time (1-2 years ago) so would naturally use their storage up at about the same time.
You can either do a load of housekeeping and delete stuff which doesn't need to be on your blog anymore, pay the monthly fee or move to Photobucket!
I agree with everyone ... wonderful & generous prizes : )
I already posted to your previous post about the Scarlett Letter. Do I have to post again here that I would love to join in? I wouldn't want to miss out. I will choose my chart and purchase it soon. So many to choose from.

Wow, wonderful prizes! I must make my decision fast and order my chart ha ha!
Hugs,
Oh Nicola--those prizes are over the top!!!! Such generosity.
Yes I have had the same problem with Blogger.
Am super excited about your Red Letter Year with Scarlet Letter--can't wait to see all the wonderful needle work.
One way around the storage space is to delete Picassa pictures. That is what I do.
Too much fun!!!!!!
I would love to join your SAL...I would love to start with The Scottish Sampler.
Hope to hear from you soon....thanks!
What a wonderful stitching event you are creating! Thank you for everything that you are doing.
I am hoping to have time to get my post about this together this weekend. I have many SL kits in the stash but I want to concentrate on some that have been languishing in the UFO pile.
I got to visit the Scarlet Letter a couple of times about 12 years ago. Heaven!
Have a lovely weekend.
Wow you're turning your Scarlet Letter Year into quite an event!
Hi Nicola,
Wow you have a lot of people participating already. After seeing all the activity and excitement I have decided I need to join as well. I have never blogged before so any help will be appreciated.
Wow, I just found this site. The prizes are just beautiful. I love samplers so I will be following along on your blog.
Fran O'Donnell
OMG Nicola, this is a veritable cornucopia of delights to win. I scrolled through thinking "I want that one...and that one....and that one!!!"
So much stitching, I hope that frame arrive soon!!
Much love xxx
The SL blog and SAL are so much fun! Thank you for going to all the trouble and organising it so well. Ni idea how to help with the space issue - you are my technical support :o)
When I joined your Scarlet Letter Year I just wanted to make your birthday brighter, more joyful and very special. Now, when learning about prizes - I'm drooling, I want to have it all! You are a very generous lady.
Nicola, I came by this link in another blogger's comments when she had received the same 'out of space' notice.
http://blueeyedbeautyblogg.blogspot.ie/2012/09/fixing-blogger-photo-limit-problem.html
Webshots, which hosted my stitching albums, just closed down and I moved everything over to Photobucket. I suppose when I get the notice I will either stay with Photobucket or pay for the membership at Flickr.
Your prizes are amazing! You've put so much thought into all of this, I'm impressed and appreciative!
Amazing prizes! I am still undecided about which chart to order but I'm narrowing it down!
I would love to be a part of this SAL... I hope it is not to late.
Thank you
Tracy
Wow!! You are having such a generous giveaway!!!
We share a birthday month!! Mine is on the 12th. ;o)
Love, Heather
