December Tic Tac Toe Winner

OOps!!!!!  Gail's brain has been on holiday but I remember I offered a little full house prize for the December Card Chain Challenge Tic Tac Toe exchange.   I used Mr Random and from the ladies that used all the options he drew GerJanne in the Netherlands.  Then, cos it's Christmas, well was Christmas, I ran Mr Random again including everyone who sent cards in December and Mr Random says Suze in New Zealand will also be getting a little something, yet to be decided, cos like I said, brain on holiday.  Drop me a line ladies and I'll get a little something in the post for you.  Hugz

May Winner and Reminiscence

Hi fans and participants of the Card Chain Challenge.  Gail here, and in case you don't know me, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??!!!  No, but really......  I have been taking a little wander through my past Card Chain Challenge cards and found myself at the very first one I sent.  I joined the January exchange in 2014 and I am humbled to say I haven't missed a month since.  I was no means an early participant.  Deborah had been running this for years before I joined and many of you had been participating long before I found it.  In fact I sent my first card to Greta, and got my first card from Jo, both of whom were CCC veterans by the time I stumbled over this wonderful card exchange.  I am so proud to be a link in this awesome chain of amazingly crafty ladies.  Thanks to you all for your continued support and participation. What would I do without you and that precious card dropping into my mail box every month!

OK, enough of the memories.  You are undoubtedly here to discover the winner of the Taylored Expressions gift certificate.  Our amazing, fabulous, generous sponsor for the May exchange was
