Announcements for 2015 and a Blog Candy Prize

Good afternoon everyone!    Tomorrow, Dec 24, at 12 Am, we will announce the winners of DPDC53.

TODAY, I have some announcements about changes that have to happen at Doodle Pantry in 2015. And there is blog candy offered at the bottom of the post...

1. First, a very unfortunate announcement.  Due to the VAT law changes in the European Union, the shop can no longer sell digital products to those living in a member country of the European Union, countries listed here, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.

How am I regulating the sales?

• The Paypal account will no longer accept payments from those with residential addresses in a European Union member country.  
• Likewise, a pending order with a balance due will be cancelled immediately, and the downloads will NEVER be activated.  
• If by a freak of technical chance, a payment actually goes through from someone in a European Union country, your order will still not be activated.
• I do believe, however, anyone can win and use a PRIZE won from a challenge, as long as after you use the prize amount, there is not a balance due.  So I certainly hope those in the European Union will still play our challenge as well as those whom we sponsor for a chance to win.

2. IN January, we are changing our release days.  We will have between 2-5 NEW products EVERY Tuesday, 4 Tuesdays each month!!!  And when you shop on a Tuesday, the NEWLY released products on that day, will be marked 20% OFF!  But only on the Tuesday they are released!

3. Our Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge (DPDC) is GOING AWAY!

4. And a NEW challenge is starting!  What's the new challenge called?  It will be called Ants In My Pantry Digital Challenge (AIMPDC)! It will start on the FIRST Tuesday, and will accept entries for 2-1/2 weeks and winners announced on the 4th Monday of the month.  

• The monthly challenge will have THEMES.  
• There is no featured product.
• Only enter once, follow theme guidelines.
• Two winners are chosen by random.
• I think it is going to be a lot of fun!

5. Now for some blog candy!  MAKE A COMMENT on this post to enter. I will announce a winner Dec 30 and you have 3 days to claim your prize. If the first winner does not share their contact email on their blogger profile, and does not come back to see if they are a winner, then I will redraw.   What's the prize?  See below.  (I have much more clear stamps that I acquired from left over stock after CDS closed, so I will be offering more clear stamp prizes in 2015)
