The week is finally here!

We are so happy you've joined us for our

3rd Anniversary Celebration!

The Play Date Cafe is ready to celebrate in style with

a whole new look

 and

5 days of amazing inspiration

 from our

Creative Design Team

Returning Alumni Designers

We also have very generous sponsors offering

prizes during the 5-day celebration!

We are hoping to achieve our next major milestone of

2,000 followers!

Make sure YOU are a public follower

then spread the word

because our designers will be visiting your blogs.

We'll be offering random prizes to those who

have the new 'I Play...' badge on their blog

so make sure you post it with the link to our challenge.

We are making a BIG CHANGE in order to make

room for even more inspiration each week.

Beginning this week, we will be posting our

winners on Fridays.

This will give us an opportunity

to give our 'Cup of the Week' 

and our Honorable Mentions

their own spotlight!

We have LOTS to get to during this first post,

so let's get right to it, shall we ?!

This week's suggested colors 

are great for Halloween

and all the beautiful autumn inspiration around us . . .

We have terrific prizes that will be shared throughout

the next 5 days from a variety of sponsors.

We are super excited to share prizes to share prizes

So there are definitely GREAT reasons to play along!

Today's sponsors include:

Our twine is made from 100% cotton, it's eco-friendly and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, our baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand! Our baker's twine comes in 18 delicious colors and is uniquely twisted against a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst of color and a creative embellishment! Our twine has lots of color which lends to a fun, candy-striped look.
