Top 3 and Random Draw - Challenge #16

Thank you so much for your support. There were many entries in our 16th Challenge for creating a Winter/Holiday project with the option to use the snow, snow, snow.  The first week  we had another winter challenge using an image or sentiment for Coffee/Tea/Cocoa winter theme.  We loved all of the fabulous designs and inspiration you shared with us and the many who included Twisted Sister's option "Let It Snow".  

Blog Candy for the Coffee/Tea/Cocoa theme was sent out soon after the Challenges closed, but our regular draw was inadvertently overlooked due to last minute preparations for the Christmas Holidays as many of you probably experienced too.  The four recipients for a Coffee Mat and die were awarded to Amanda Bodine, Marcia Drain, Karen Ladd and Becca Yahrling.  

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.
