Hi Everyone!
Here is the posting of winners for my second NBUS Challenge! The response was even more over-whelming than the wild participation in the first NBUS Challenge! There were a total of THREE HUNNERT AND EIGHT (308!) entries!! Reach around and pat yourself on whatever you can reach without pulling a wing out of its socket!
You guys are the best for supporting my movement to bring love and attention and scissors and ink to the neglected Never-Before-Used-Schtuff languishing in craft rooms all over the world! Younger, prettier, more modern products appear and tempt us constantly, pushing the older models to the back of the shelf before they've ever been used. Some even drop down behind.
But no longer! In a world going green and fighting against bullying and waste, we ... oh, never mind. I'm preaching to the choir!!
Congratulations to all the winners chosen by Hammy, in colladoration with Dr. and Mrs. Random Org. While not setting any presidents, with over 300 entries, how could I not award FIFTEEN prizes?!
Let's give the winners a huge round of applause!!

Darling friend. I'm pretty sure that when God saw that he needed an earthly angel, he decided that you way more than qualified for the position. How sweet of you to not only make up NBUS, make up a challenge with prizes, but then go and add even more prizes!!!! You are a dear friend to so many of us out here in blogland. You really are an angel. We are all blessed to know you. Bev
ReplyDeleteCongrats to ALL winners!!
