Thanks for the badge, and congrats to everyone else who received one. Rewards for participating are so fun! It is so nice to be acknowledged for your effort. I have been in so many forums where you are lucky if you even get a like, much less a reply. This forum makes you WANT to participate, and get to know people.
I just want to say how much I love the badge and truly appreciate the acknowledgement — it means a lot to be part of such a supportive and encouraging community. That said, I also want to be honest and say I don’t feel quite right accepting it this time, since I wasn’t able to get a project finished and posted before the challenge wrapped up. I’m big on earning my magic fair and square.
That aside, congratulations to everyone who did participate — your holiday crafts were absolutely lovely and so inspiring to see. The creativity, care, and heart that went into each project really embodied the spirit of the challenge.
Thank you again for the kindness, the celebration, and the joy this challenge brought. I’m already looking forward to the next one and getting my hands properly messy then.
I know handicrafting isn’t your favorite hobby, so I’m extra proud of you for jumping in! Your spruced up Yule Log is a beauty Well done!
Would you look at the time? We’re already at challenge 240 - I smell a Catch-Up!
I’m so happy you enjoy the badge, Shari, and I’m doubly happy you’re having fun! Thanks again for joining in the challenge. It’s always a pleasure reading your posts!
I’ll mark this challenge down as a success - I’m so happy you had fun!
Your honesty and humble heart are seen and appreciated If I can make a little case, I’d say that prep work and work-in-progresses are work too, and when someone has taken the time to share about them, I’m happy to count them as challenge entries
On that note, if you feel up for a “part 2” with updates or results, I’d love to see how things are coming along/turned out (no pressure, though)!
You’re welcome - thanks for joining in!
It’s a pleasure! Thanks for sharing your entry
The next challenge is in the works, and what do you know! We’re ending off the year with a chance to look back on all the challenges of both this year and years past. It’s time for a Catch-Up!
Thank you so much for counting what little I could do, @BryWisteria. Congrats to everyone for beautiful work which will last well beyond the solstice. Time to pull out the file and catch up on what I have and what still needs attention. Eager to see what I can get to.
Wow!! So many beautiful things and such a variety! Its really wonderful being a part of this wonderful creative family. Thank you for the new badge and wishing you all a peaceful and warm Solstice.
