A Very Special Thank You

 

Hello to everyone.

I hope that you are all well and that you all had a fabulous Christmas xxx

Thank you so much to everybody who joined in last week – what a fabulous response and as always you shared lots of your beautiful work with us - what clever peeps there are out there :)

So who is our winner?

 

Woohooo Beacarona, it’s you my love :)

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details on to Katharina and as always, hugest of thanks to her for her wonderful sponsorship xxx

And here ….

… is what Bea did with the challenge – it’s absolutely gorgeous.

So onto this week and we have something a bit special for you. Our theme this week is

Be Thankful

and quite simply we just want to see your thank you projects -  it seems like a good time to make them as hopefully you will all have had oodles and lovely prezzies.

As well as our GDT, we have a special team of designers this week because the regular girlies and having a week off – they soooo deserve it. And there is so much talent out there that we felt it would be nice to perhaps give somebody else a turn. We were inundated with the response so hugest of thanks to everyone that asked to take part.

As it’s the last challenge of the month, and indeed the year, we are sponsored by those fabulous people across the pond.

Hello to everyone.

I hope that you are all well and that you are having a nice week. The big day will soon be here and then we will all be wondering what the fuss was about !!!

Or is that just me????

You’ll have to forgive me again today but I am still unwell as apart from falling down the stairs last Friday, this virus thing has decided to invade my sinuses and boy it is not nice. So I am still not able to craft so no card again from me today,  but I am up again so hopefully I will find my way back to the craft room soon.

 Thank you so much to everybody who joined in last week – there were as always some lovely Christmas cards in the most gorgeous colour themes and lots of fabulous work.

So we need a winner and this week it’s …..

… Kim Mc – all the way in sunny Hawaii (I’ve been there, it’s totally fab and right now looking at the snow and mush outside, I am as jealous as jealous can be!!!)

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details on to Katharina and as always, hugest of thanks to her for her wonderful sponsorship xxx

It’s Happy New Year Ben (is he not just the cutest!!!)

I have to say a huge THANK YOU to Katharina for her support during this last year. She has been so generous to us here at PTW and I am really grateful to her and also to the sweetness that is Fenella who sorts it all out for us.

You two are just wonderful xxx

Before we get onto the cards, I will be in touch with our guests for next week later today. I was hoping to get this sorted but of course, being unwell has made me a little late with everything, so I hope you can all bear with me.

And a little more news for you – woohooo, we have a brand new full time DT member and that girlie is True:D. She was a past GDT member and her cards are so different and so very beautiful that we didn’t want her to leave. So welcome True:D and I hope you will enjoy being part of out team.

So without further ado, let’s check out what the Papertake girls have done this week. These are the last team cards from them for this year as we have an all guest line up next week so I just want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of them for not just being awesomely talented on the crafty front but for being such lovely peeps as well xxx
