I’ll start off by just saying we’ve never had this many winners, but we’ve also never had this many submissions before! As I go through the submissions, I keep a list and I put a heart by the ones that are in the running to be a winner, and I’ve never had so many hearts! It’s been hard! (Not that I’m complaining. . . .)

Judging the submissions every month takes hours, but it’s something I look forward to. I don’t spend much time on blogs and other Internet spots looking at project ideas, but I do treat myself once a month to all the Creative Challenge ideas.

As I looked at the long list of hearts, I wondered how I was going to make the final choices. Then I thought, “Hey, whose blog is this, anyway?” I realized I could pick as many winners as I want; there aren’t any rules out there. So bottom line is we’ve got a lot of winners this month, and I had LOTS of fun choosing!

As always, thank you ALL for sharing—I love it when we have lots of submissions, even if it does take me a little longer to choose the winners. It’s time well spent!
