So onto this week and our theme this week is …

Pick Of The Year

… so as it's the penultimate week, please pick your fave challenge of this last year. You can choose any challenge you want to and re-do it. You must make a new card of course and let us know which one you have chosen when you do your post.

This week we are very pleased to welcome back our very own Mary & Andrea aka …

The Ribbon Girl

…  and check out  what’s up for grabs peeps

Hugest of thanks for a fabulous prize and do nip and check out the website if you get a sec cos there’s oodles of pretty stuff  over there :)

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget to check out our individual blogs and see what else we have been up to.

As always, could we ask a huge favour peeps please.

Could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead please pretty please xxxx. It’s ever so easy to do – see our sidebar – and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear.

Can we remind you nicely that’s it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking. We hope you understand that it’s only fair to those who make a new card xxx

And also, can I just give you another  nice gentle reminder to ask if you could make sure that you link your card and not your blog when using good old Mr Linky please my lovelies. It makes life so much easier for our DT if they don’t have to go searching for your cards.

Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx

Finally,  just to let you know that sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry, with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the mo – grrrrrr what a nightmare. But please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.

Thanks for bearing with us and huggiest of hugs to all xxx
