Many congratulations to the lucky winners and massive thanks to all of you who came along to play! As always, I wish that everyone could be a prizewinner.
To claim your prize:
Please
send me an email using the NEW Snippets Playground gmail address shown on the RH sidebar, with PLAYGROUND WINNER (or similar) in the subject line. Please add your FULL NAME above your home ADDRESS so that I can copy and paste it for speed and ease.
26 prizes will take me some time to package up, possibly print 'click and drop labels'(which is extra fussing around) and then get posted off to the winners in perhaps two or three batches so please be patient. I will add something on this new blog to keep you updated rather than send out individual emails to everyone.
Remember folks, there's still almost one
more week to run on the current challenge #419 - just scroll back a couple or so posts to find it.
Lots of love from Dudley Dog and of course me,
Di xx
