26: Wenche as the winner

and our Top 3 are:
9: Donna Mundinger
25: Laura Love
38: Yvette

Please take your Winner and Top 3 badges from the side bar, and Wenche please email us withing 2 weeks at the address shown top right to claim your prize.

Emily Shroom

Erin F

Jackie Maunder 

Jayne Fisk

Angelique

Alli D

Croms

Make sure you pop over to their blogs to have a look at their creations. They're amazingly talented crafters.

It would have been far too difficult to choose between such talented crafters so we recruited an impartial judge (Anita's Son) to pull a name out of the hat! To say he was a little excited is an understatement!

So here' we are .........


Drumroll please.........

The Winner of the Big Christmas Prize is .......

And the runners up are......

Congratulations!!!!!!

We'll be back on the 6th January with a Blog Hop to show the gifts the DT sent each other in our Secret Santa and the first Challenge will be launched on 13th January. See you then.
