I’m delighted to announce that the winner of last month’s blog challenge is KarenK with her beautiful U are 2 cute… layout! Thanks for playing along with the challenge Karen, please message me at The Lilypad for details of how to claim your prize!

With the New Year just beginning, we’re mixing up the blog challenges a little bit for 2017!

We’re excited to bring these new challenges to you and hope that you will enjoy playing along with them each month!
