Congratulations to all winners! Well done and we hope you will all enjoy your prizes. We have given Mr Random.org a slight hand to ensure we did not draw the same person again and again. I think most hoppers will have come back with a little prize. A quick check on the lists only shows 1 person missing out on Aunty Sue's stop, but she does not appear to have stopped at any of the other stops. (tilly trotter) If I am mistaken, please let me know and it that case you can choose a little prize from my digistamp blog to make everyone who helped us celebrate a winner. You all deserve it!

To claim your prize, please contact us with your details (e-mail address and in case you have won a physical prize also your snail mail address), which prize from which sponsor you have won. If you have a choice of image, feel free to already include that in your e-mail to save our sponsors a little time.

Winners on the stops from Rick St Dennis and the Sparkle and Glitter blog, please contact them directly (for Sheryl's blog contact us again)

Also as a special thank you for helping us all celebrate our 4th birthday at CRAFT Challenge, here is a freebie for all from Jo.



Love,

Jo and The CRAFT Team.
