Oh goodness...today I went in to help with my son's kindergarten cap and gown pictures and it turned out that my son's teacher was taking all the pictures for alllll of kindergarten AND pre-k so what I thought was going to be just an hour or two turned out to be all morning and then some so I ended up spending the day at school volunteering so in turn my post is up late! Please forgive me! I will be happy when school is out for summer...that is until my kids start fighting every day ;-)

Challenge #35~Inspiration and Winner

Is everyone staying warm where you are? I know a very cold front has come through NC and up north there has even been snow...ugh....sorry if you are enjoying the cold and snow but this girl would prefer warm and sunshine!!!

I loved all the participation last week but then again anything goes is always a pretty popular challenge! I was a little disappointed that we didn't have a single entry that used a TSB image :-( I know you all have at least "1" TSB in your files and I challenge you to use one for this challenge! Remember, if you use TSB image you get entered 2 times into the drawing!!

Let's start with our winner and top 3 from last week!
