What A Challenge!

The November Month of Holiday Cards Challenge is officially over, and what a challenge it was!
We SMASHED last year's record of 743 entries with a whopping 864 submissions!


It makes my heart happy to think of all those lovingly hand made cards, tags and gifts being distributed to friends and families all around the world. It has been a welcome pleasure to read the kind words you've left for me and for each other as we worked our way through the month. I believe it's those simple kindnesses that add up to make a positive difference in our world and it's one of the reasons I sincerely love our crafting community.

Thank you to each and every one of you!
Cheers,
Beccy

THANK YOU for making November so much fun and so productive Beccy! I've never made so many cards in a month in my life, I thoroughly enjoyed being pushed to think of festive cards to make for each new prompt :) It was also wonderful to have you and fellow cardmakers come visit and comment each day, I appreciate each and every one!

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
