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!

Thank you for joining our challenge last week and we hope to see you again!
Be sure to join us for Challenge No. 65 being sponsored by Eureka Stamps and Polkadoodles! Thank you so very much for choosing to play along with us!
Thank you, Maria, for choosing mine as your favorite. It was a fun card to make with the image being so cute. Congratulations to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners and DT picks! I am thrilled and honoured that Lynn chose my card as her favourite - thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts on prizes... It doesn't matter to me if the same person wins a few weeks in a row - that's what random is. Everyone has a fair chance. I hope you don't change the random draw because it's fair for beginners and experienced crafters alike. As for people not claiming their prizes, not sure what that's all about. I love to claim my prizes when I win!
Wishing you and your team the happiest of holidays! Thank you for your fun challenges - I enjoy them very much! Love the random draw!
Thank you so much Dianne for picking my Christmas Card as your fav! So proud. I agree with KT Fit Kitty too, I like it´s random winner, makes it fair to beginner and experienced crafters. Wish you all the best for the Festive Season
