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.

Thank you for the new badge, @BryWisteria! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I had so much fun trying something new, and it’s inspiring to be surrounded by so many gifted witches. :witch_moon: Congrats to all!

I think that’s part of our magick. :wink: :sparkles:

Good morning!

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. :purple_heart:

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. :herb::candle:

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. :sparkles:

Hugs!!

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 :blush: Well done!

Would you look at the time? We’re already at challenge 240 - I smell a Catch-Up! :joy:

I’m so happy you enjoy the badge, Shari, and I’m doubly happy you’re having fun! :heart: 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! :hugs: :heart:

Your honesty and humble heart are seen and appreciated :heart: 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 :blush:

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)! :grinning_face:

You’re welcome - thanks for joining in! :partying_face:

It’s a pleasure! Thanks for sharing your entry :two_hearts:



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!

Congrats again and blessed be, witchy challengers :trophy: :heart:

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.
