I want to thank everyone for playing.

 I am happy to see so many of my stalkers come out of hiding.

(Stalkers may go back into stealth mode now...see you in November for the next giveaway.)

 The stats:

red - 49 people . . . 115 entries

orange - 11 people . . .  23 entries

green - 2 people . . . 4 entries

blue . . . - 11 people  - 24 entries

purple . . . 23 people - 24 entries 

It was very interesting to see:

1.  many of you  are adventurous

2.  my followers are not into scrapbooking

 3.  so many did not enter because they have too much stuff

(they emailed me or left comments elsewhere)

4. most of you have blogs  . . .

and I have been visiting your blogs over the past week. 

I am truly amazed at how talented and creative you are.

 Each and every one of you has inspired me in some way.

I have read of your joys, your woes, your crafty adventures.

I am happy to know each and every one of you a bit more now.

I have had so much fun with this giveaway.

I hope you did too.

Congratulations to all the winners !

I will be contacting you by email very soon.

Much love to you all

Marianne
