Oh no!

The crew from Darksmith Manor in the Fear & Sunshine books have turned to ZomBeans!

Oh, well. Might as well make the best of the situation and color them up!

Submission Categories:
Since these books are for all ages, let’s make categories for everyone. And for the adult entries, we’ll break it up by what you use to color your page. Here are the groups from which we’ll choose our winners:

• 5 years old and under
• 6 to 8
• 9 to 12
• 13 to 17
• 18+ – Colored Pencil
• 18+ – Crayon
• 18+ – Marker
• 18+ – Other/Mixed Media
• 65+ – This one is a super cool double bonus option so participants 65+ would be eligible to win both in one of the 18+ subcategories or the general 65+ category.
• Plus one randomly selected Lucky Duck winner which anyone could win

Prizes:
Want to win the best prizes? Better invite your friends!
The monthly prizes will get better based on how many participants among all categories enter the contest. Can we unlock over $500 worth of rewards???

1 to 19 entries – Button Pack
20 to 49 entries – Mystery Stickers
50 to 149 entries – Crayons, Colored Pencils, and a Studio Moonfall coloring book (your choice!)
150 or more entries – $25 Studio Moonfall Gift Card!!!

For these prizes, they stack as we get more participants. So, if we get 150 entries, one person from each of the age groups/categories will recieve all the goodies – A Button pack, Mystery Sticker pack, Crayons, Colored Pencils, a Coloring Book, plus a $25 Studio Gift Card. Ten winners for all these stuff!

Winners will be contacted, initially by text message, on February 26th, 2023, around 7pm CST.

You’ll have until Sunday, March 26th, 2023 at 3pm CST to stop by Studio Moonfall to claim your prize. However, if we reach the Studio Moonfall Gift Card tier, I can set that up by your email.

Note: I’m totally guessing on these submission entry levels so this may change for the next contest.

Submissions:
Each participant only gets one entry but if you color one and submit it, then color another page that you think is waaaaay better, we can replace your first entry.

For our February “Fear & Sunshine ZomBeanification” Coloring Contest, it begins NOW and the deadline to submit your entry February 26th, 2023 by 3pm CST.
To submit yours, drop off your coloring page entry at Studio Moonfall – 5031 7th Ave. Kenosha, WI. You can find up to date store hours at https://studiomoonfall.com/calendar/ and for Mystery Hours on Tuesdays, check the Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/studiomoonfall
If you stop by while the shop is closed, you can slide your entry into the mail slot on the door.

Be sure to include the following on the back of your coloring page:
• Name
• Phone Number
• Email
• Age Group/Category

You can also mail your entry to:
Studio Moonfall

The Interns their first “blizzard” in this week’s psychological immersion experience of Bookstore Simulator.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work in a bookstore?

Of course, you have!

Well, now’s your chance. Throw on your metaverse mind monitor and jump into the Bookstore Simulator. We’ve got two initial programs you can download into your brain. Expect future uploads every week!

Need something to do this winter?

Want to win some prizes while you’re at it?

Come down to Studio Moonfall and pick up your Winter Challenge mini comic!

Inside, among all sorts of other goodies, you’ll find a stamp card. To collect the stamps, you’ll have to visit the shop once a month January through April. And if you collect all four stamps…

… You’ll be eligible to win the GRAND PRIZE!!!

(just don’t ask what it is yet because I still have a few months to figure that out)

We’ve got the extra special versions of the stamp cards in the shop but if you want one right away, you can CLICK HERE for a printable version.

Just in case you can’t collect all four stamps, there will also be some prizes available based on how many you do get. Another thing I haven’t figured out yet. But that doesn’t matter, right now. You’ve got stamps to collect!!
