I am amazed and thoroughly delighted to have won 4th prize in Glenda’s Christmas Challenge, (entries),(results), this is the first time that I’ve won anything for crafting and I’m totally made up.

Many, many congratulations to Deby (1st and 2nd) and Cazzie (3rd) for your most beautiful pieces of work, and congratulations to everyone else as well – the entries were all lovely, which makes me feel very humbled to have won a place. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, I am so touched that you liked my card enough to do that, it means such a lot, thank you so much.

The winners have been given the chance to chose some stamps from Glenda’s new Christmas range, and for me there wasn’t a question as to which I would chose. They are all stunning themeplates, but the Tiffany lamps and beautiful snow scene on the ‘Hearth and Home’ plate stood out instantly for me when I first saw them on Glenda’s blog, and I am so excited at the prospect of playing with them soon. Thank you for such a generous prize Glenda.

Aside, I’ve been having trouble with a flare up of my Sciatica, and back things in general, so haven’t managed much crafting over the last week or so but will aim to post another card tomorrow. I hope that the heat isn’t getting you all down too much, at least it is slightly cooler now, if not as comfortable as we would wish.

Take care for now,

Jo
