I'm sorry to have to add this, BUT please, if you do not follow the instructions for claiming your prize within one week of the end of the challenge -- other than the First Place Prize Hostesses always GIFT -- I am not going to knock myself out trying to tag you on Facebook, reach you, find your mailing address for art beads, find your email for gift certificates but will assume the prize just isn't your cup of tea & you let go of your item. There just isn't time for me to chase after people regarding prizes, and please understand, I'm buying all the gift certificates & art beads from my own pocket. No company has donated items nor beads. It's just my gift to all participants :) So, please, enjoy your prizes but when I have folks turn around & complain they have no gift certificate to the group admin -- when they didn't even win one nor have they emailed me an address for an art bead, it really sours the pot for all. I don't want to not be generous. It feels good to be generous and give prizes to all because I appreciate you all sharing your talents. But please, give courtesy in return. Thank you! :)

  3. I am very excited to have won 1st place with 30 votes for my Woodland necklace. A big thanks to Moriah and Marti for creating the very cute ceramics that I used. What really means a lot to me are the voters--all other jewelry creators. A special thanks to Rita for providing the inspiration!
