Top 3 and Random Draw - Challenge #14

Thank you so much for your support. There were many entries in our 14th Challenge for creating a Christmas/Holiday project with the option to use the Tic-Tac-Toe grid .  We loved all of the fabulous designs and inspiration you shared with us and the many who included Twisted Sister's option "a hanging item".  

We apologize for the delay in our announcement of the Top 3, however, there were reasons for this dilemma. Everyone had preparation for turkey day in the USA, Friday was very black, lasting all weekend and then came Cyber Monday. Whew! On top of that we had a record number of entries for this challenge - 82, to consider for the Top Three.  What's that saying? "Have you ever tried to get four women to agree on anything?" A high-five for everyone who joined our challenge. Thank you all for your participation and we hope you'll continue to follow us for future fun challenges.

Congratulations to our Top Three
Now, before Christmas arrives, and in no particular order, here are the Top 3. Please be sure to take a Top 3 Badge found on the right sidebar.
