    1. It is heartbreaking for me to end this challenge. I have so enjoyed seeing everyone's entries. However I am considering starting a "just for fun" challenge in my Facebook group, Crafter's Castle. If I do, it won't be right away, but in the meantime please stop by and post your creations for everyone to see. Thank you so much for being a part of my challenges over the years :) Hugs....Janie

  3. I am so sorry to hear that you are closing. I sure wish I had time to help out; but I am so busy that I can't get my own crafting done with all the things I have going on right now. Thanks so much Lisa. It has been a joy entering your challenges. Happy Holidays! Big hugs. Gloria

  6. Thank you very much for choosing my card as a Top 3 entry & Congratulations to all the winners.

    Very sorry to hear that the challenge is closing but completely understand. I too have been experiencing a family emergency for the last 2 weeks with no short term resolution. It is hard to deal with and those situations have to be your focus. I do hope things get easier for you.

    Hope everyone is safe and well. Stay Happy, Healthy, crafting and creating joy.

    Love Mandy xxx

    1. Thank you so much.....you are so sweet! I have enjoyed seeing your wonderful creations and everyone's creations and inspiration. I will miss it all, but I hope you and everyone stops by my Facebook group, Crafter's Castle, and continues to share their projects with us. There is a lot going on for me but nothing serious or that needs to be resolved. I just need to have more time for my personal interests and crafting, and less time stressing over design teams and deadlines. It's time in my life for me to relax and enjoy what I do. Thank you so much for the hugs and prayers.....very much appreciated. Hugs and prayers for you too sweet friend :) Hugs.....Janie
