September Super Hearts Treasury

SH 16-09

We had a bit more competition for the available slots this month. As a result I was able to get a fresh crew with only a few repeats. Unluckily, some of the best supporters of the August Super Hearts Treasury were not members of the A Promotion Commotion team, and so didn’t qualify for the September Super Hearts Treasury.

As always, those who showed the most support for last month’s treasury got the top slots in this month’s treasury. M. Brent Payne is there as this month’s Featured Shop. It was great to see Sharon Lee again, even if only for one comment.

I hope everyone gets a chance to make some sales!

Win a Dragon’s Tail

DragonTail

The Prize: Winner’s choice of a costume dragon tail or a mystery necklace of equivalent value.

The dragon tail is 30 inches long and more suitable to an adult than a child. It’s as soft as a stuffed animal. The 86% cotton, 13% polyester blend fabric is died a mottled green.

I offer a necklace in it’s place because a friend of mine says a dragon tail is about as useful as an origami crane with a two foot wing span. Something wrong with an enormous crane? I don’t get it but I’ll take her word for it. 😉

I’ve had some problems with the Pinterest pin options through Giveaway Tools. All the entries made through it are showing up in the list from which Giveaway Tools draws the winner, but sometimes people get an error message and the pin doesn’t always show up. If you at least try, you will still get the credit. I’ve tried something different this time. Please let me know how it works.

August Super Hearts Treasury

SH 16-08

Again, it was easy to get into the Super Hearts Treasury this month, but I didn’t have to repeat anyone from last month. I still hope to provide a chance to be in it to as many people as possible.

Horsdoovers is a special case. She got in through her strong support of last month’s Featured Shop. It was a coin-flip tie for who would be the Featured Shop for August, and she lost the toss. As thanks for the work she has done in all the Shop of the Month threads on the A Promotion Commotion team I added her to the treasury.

Alinies made it in as the Shop of the Month for August.

Otherwise everyone is, of course, placed in the treasury based on the amount of support they gave the July Super Hearts Treasury.

I’d like to offer a special thanks to Belladona’s Joy for offering very strong support to the August treasury right from the start.

July Super Hearts Treasury

SH 16-07

This month nearly every A Promotion Commotion team member who was not in the June treasury made it into the July treasury. This includes team leader Graciela, who was very supportive of the treasury.

She recommended Sandy, who was made a leader a month ago. Normally I wouldn’t include leaders in a regular treasury, but they qualified. To round it off, I included this month’s Shop of the Month, Stefania De Angelis from StefaniaDA2015

The first six shops were placed by how supportive they were to the June treasury, except for the shop of the month, which I put at the top because I felt it only right, though I’m not even sure she’s heard of the Super Hearts Treasury.

After that they were put in alphabetical order.

If you are a member of the APCteam, please go comment on the treasury. It will make my life easier at the end of the month when I make the August treasury.

StefaniaDA2015
