Winners and DT Favorites: Challenge No. 65 and Re-draw

Happy New Year! My Team and I want to wish you a safe and happy new year weekend. Have fun and be safe!
We'd like to welcome all of you back to this week's winners' post. We had a great turnout with 120 entries last week!
Well, we're short a heap of Team favorites. We've got a sickly Team member and then, well, it's the holidays and the best time to be taking a break! lol Also, we're saying goodbye to Julie Odil! Although she did take the time to chose a Team favorite before her departure. Please help me bid her farewell and great success in her future endeavors. She's been a fantastic Team member and I so much appreciate that she jumped into my moving car and helped me out as she did.
Just a quick reminder... we're still having our DT call and you can read all the details here.
Well, the masses have spoken and we will continue to use Random {dot} org to select our winners. Thank you to those who left comments about their opinion on this matter. I also believe this is the fairest way to select winners.

Anything Goes Challenge No. 66

Hiya, bloggers! Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday... and Santa was good to all the children! My mom always said that Christmas was for children... but any year she didn't get a gift because gifts were bought for the children... she had a fit! lol But, that's a story for another time.

Before I forget, we've still got our DT Call going on! You can check it out here.

Also, I wanna wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year! :) If you drink, don't drive! And if you drive, don't drink or text! :D I'll be partying safely here in my home... I'm hoping I can stay up at least until 9! After all... it IS the new year! lol I tell you, if people who knew me when I was younger could see me now, they wouldn't believe it! I'm doing it and I cannot believe it! lol And by IT, I mean staying home. :) lol There I go... getting off the subject again!

Right now, I'd like to invite you to join us in this week's challenge. We've THREE fabulous sponsors this week and plenty of prizes to go around! lol

Winner and DT Favorites: Challenges No. 64, 63, 62 and 61

Welcome, bloggers and Merry Christmas! Even with the busy, crazy holiday season, we still had a wonderful turnout with 161 entries last week! Wow! Spoiler alert! We're picture heavy this week! :D lol
A couple of things I'd like to "talk" about before we get to this week's winners!
Please make note of our new email address just for winners! :)
Also, for the last three challenges, we had the same crafter win each week and I just want you all to know that is because it is truly random! I have no control over who Random {dot} org chooses. The only time I re-draw is if the winner didn't follow the rules.
My Team and I are brain-storming this one. We may change how we draw our winners but we won't come to any decision until after the holiday season.
Finally, I know we all had a busy month because I've barely had time to breathe since mid-November! We have had a flurry of unclaimed prizes and I've not seen any real snow! Ha! I know, I know! I can be very corny! lol But I am feeling my hand forced on this one. If a winner does not claim a prize, that winner will not be eligible for another prize for a month. If we change our method of drawing winners, that point may be moot but if we don't, it'll be a new rule listed on our sidebar over there...
<<<<<<<<<<-----------
...along with all the other rules. :)
Now... to get to why we're all here! Our winners! We have winners galore this week! Be sure to read all the way to the end of the post because there are winners all the way to the very end! Please keep in mind that it is Christmas and if I do not answer your email this week, I will for sure by Monday! :)
As always, we DO use Random.org to pick our winners. Our sponsor last week was the fabulous Inky Impressions offering 3 digis to one lucky winner!

Random.org chose:

#6 Michelle Lancaster

Please put IDCB Winner No. 64 II in the subject line.
