WInner of Challenge 22...

Thank you all for participating in our 22nd challenge! We enjoyed all of the beautiful Fall creations! Yes, Mister Linky did give a bit of trouble though the entries that were signed up prior are posted there in the challenge. Do not worry--your entries were not lost! =) I combined the Mister Linky entries together with those who had left comments, being sure to omit any duplicates. Names were then written and cut into slips of paper and one name was randomly drawn. (Usually, Random.org is used to help select the winner)...

The lucky winner of Challenge 22 is:
Congratulations to you Kiki! Please contact me with your choice of one Belles 'n Whistles rubber stamp! I'll get your chosen stamp out to you in the mail! ;D

NOW, I hope you'll all join us in our next Roses on Paper challenge...a Halloween creation! =)

Thank you all for participating in our 21st challenge! Wow, what beautiful entries! Love all those --s-t-i-t-c-h-e-s--! =) I'm very glad for all of the entries...I hope to see you all enter into the Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT call! ;D

Congratulations to you Hanna!

Please contact me with your choice of one Belles 'n Whistles Fall rubber stamp! I'll get your chosen stamp out to you in the mail!

Now, for this next "challenge" spot, I was supposed to put out the call to fill our upcoming Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT spots....but it totally slipped my mind! What we'll do instead is this: Jodi has come up with a challenge, challenge #22. We'll start with Jodi's challenge and I will do my official Guest DT call this Wednesday sometime, so hang tight! A good thing perhaps...it means that if you would like to, you have the theme from this 22nd challenge to use to create your Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT entry! So okay, on to challenge 22 then!
