Challenge 87 Friendship, Winners and Top 5

We had 74 entries last week, and out of those I have sadly had to remove 24, or almost one third.Three had exceeded the challenges allowed limit, but the other 21 didn’t have any of the required words on their project anywhere.

We are a prize challenge blog, so I have to be strict with the rules, because it is not fair on the people who actually read what we ask and comply with it, and it would also not be fair on our sponsors to award their prize to someone who doesn’t follow the challenge. I know that blogging and creating are meant to be fun and I hate to come across as an old misery, but PLEASE, PLEASE, read what we are asking before submitting your post in future. We don’t want to put you off coming, but equally we cannot just ignore those entries that do not comply with what we have asked. If we were to just ignore it, we might just as well be an ‘ always anything goes’ blog and have done with it. The team work really hard. Each member chooses a theme and what they want to see to match that theme and it’s heartbreaking when it just gets ignored.

So lecture over. To the business in hand.

Thanks to everyone who, followed the rules/requirements and played along with our ‘Friendship’ theme.Yvonne was our hostess for this challenge and she has chosen her Winners/Top 5 as follows:-

Congratulations to you all, please feel free to display our Winner’s badge or Top 5 badge on your blogs. Would the two winners please contact me at the address in the sidebar stating the number of the challenge, the title of the challenge and which prize they have won in the subject line. The Winner of the Sir Stampalot stamps will need to give me their home address so our prize co-ordinator can mail you out the stamps.

The winners have until 14th April to claim their prize, after which time I am afraid the prize(s) will be forfeit. As we choose our winners, rather than having a random number thingy to pick them it's too difficult and time consuming to go back again and go through the entries to pick out new winners. Neither, sadly do we have time to chase the winners up.

Don’t forget to call back at 12 noon for our next challenge
