Weekly Team Treasury Challenge #2

Here is a picture of Andrea of Storybook Artifact wearing her Vintage Indian Princess Earring and Charm Bracelet Set which is currently has for sale in her shop!

Hooray it's Wednesday! Time to announce the theme and featured shop for our weekly treasury challenge hosted by the Etsy Natural Healers Guild! The winner of the treasury challenge for last week is our very own team leader Andrea of Storybook Artifact with her winning challenge treasury "Sunny and Share"!!! So everyone participating in this week's treasury challenge must feature one of her beautiful shop items anywhere in the first 3 rows (NOT as an alternate in the fourth row) of your treasury.

This week's treasury theme is "LABYRINTH", and remember that it can mean anything to you so have fun and express yourself within your challenge treasury!

The Etsy Natural Healers Guild Weekly Treasury Challenge is open to EVERYONE and not just team members so feel free to join us! You do NOT have to belong to the team, to participate or win the challenge! The Winner of the Challenge will have their shop items included in every treasury for next week's team challenge!

On Sundays we will all get to vote for the best challenge treasury in a poll that will be featured on the right-hand side of the team blog; there will be three participating treasuries to choose from (these will be the most popular of all of the treasuries in the challenge or the treasuries with the most views).

You have until Friday, June 17th at midnight...

Challenge Requirements:

1. Include an item from this week's Featured Shop Storybook Artifact, anywhere in the first 3 rows (NOT as an alternate in the fourth row).

2. Do NOT include any of your own items, or more than one item from the same shop.

3. In addition to the featured shop item, your treasury must contain at least SIX items from Etsy Natural Healers Guild members. These "team-related" items can be placed anywhere in the treasury. For a list of team members, click here ... or you can also find them by searching the our team tag "healguild" in Etsy.

4. Tag your Treasury "healguild" and "healguildchallenge2" (the number "2" is without any spaces). If your treasury isn't tagged correctly and doesn't show up in the treasury search results by the judging deadline, it may not be judged. In case their are difficulties finding your treasury by searching the treasury tag, please also leave a link to your treasury in the comments of this blog post. Highly recommended! There is also a thread on the Etsy Natural Healers Guild team page where you can post a link to your entry challenge treasury. All of these things really help others find your treasury more easily.

6. Include a link to this blog post in your Treasury description (or in the first comment). This is very IMPORTANT! This is what helps get the word out about our Challenge! If you're not sure what to say, feel free to copy and paste this:
