The end of an era

I've just finalised the post for challenge 627 - the last one for CHNC .... with sadness, but with gratitude for all those who have been on the DTs over the years including, of course, the present team ... a big thank you.

I'm grateful too for those who have entered the challenges over the twelve years ... it's always had so many willing to share their inspirational crafting.

Happy New Year

A sad decision - PLEASE READ

Having run the Christmas challenge blog for twelve years, I've been thinking it's time for a break .... this isn't an easy or quick decision, but one that has been on my mind for some time and recent family situations and life in general has made me realise that this is the right decision. I've been through difficult times during those twelve years and have never missed a challenge. So the challenge on 31 December will be the last one and I'll be making an announcement.

I've been so grateful for all those who have been on the design team over the years, including, of course, the present ones - also for the many sponsors who were so generous. So many have shared their inspirational designs and so many wonderful crafters have entered the challenges to share theirs.

Because of the way they have to be added, the blogpost for tomorrow's CHNC 600 is now at the end.
