February winners and Top picks

You've wowed us with some stunning entries again this month, as you always do and our thanks go to every one of you for taking the time to join us. 

First we need to tell you about some changes which have been prompted by yet more increases in postal rates and changes to Customs requirement specifically to the USA and Australia. Much as we dislike having to make this decision we will no longer ship physical prizes to those destinations and hope you will understand. But all entries will still be eligible for Top 3 recognition so we hope you will still join in and share your lovely creations.

Random Org., has been put to work and selected the following winners, no 59 Anne, no 50 Shaz....


Well done to you both, please mail me by Friday 7th March with your full names and postal addresses. Any prize unclaimed by that date will either be re-drawn and new winners notified direct or returned to the prize box.

Winners outside the UK: Prizes are always sent as gifts, but sometimes Customs fees are added in your own Country, this is out of out control so by claiming your prize you are accepting responsibility for any fees and we cannot assist should this happen.

The Design Team have voted for their favourites and as there was a tie for second place we have four entries to showcase......

No 17 Lorraine
In joint second place No 11 Lia and
No 30 Vicki
No 15 Ellie

Congratulations, well deserved recognition. Please collect your badge for your own blogs.
