Winners and Honourable Mentions for LMF Treasury Challenge 06


Here are some words from Diana by SUEFERN643  :-


First, I’d like to thank the 9 shops who created treasuries for the challenge this week! It was such a fun week for me, to see my new shop item featured in so many treasuries and I appreciate all of your efforts. The treasuries were all truly stunning! I think I have viewed each of them at least 25 times. I shared everyone’s treasuries on my blog, facebook page, and twitter.

I thought it would be easy to be a challenge judge, but judging this challenge was no easy task. I'm a treasury junkie, so I know how much work goes into creating a treasury, especially when you have to include an inspiration item and at least three other team members’ shops. They were all such works of art, but I was drawn to one treasury the most, and that was GabAttack’s treasury,www.etsy.com/treasury/MTE3MjE4Nzl8NTkyMjE1Mjg2/im-blue-da-ba-dee-da-ba-d...It’s such a gorgeous celebration of blue and white items and my snowmen look great sitting amongst all the other items featured.

I'm supposed to choose five honorable mentions, but I don’t feel comfortable choosing five from the 8 remaining treasuries, because that will leave only three treasuries that are not mentioned, and I honestly can’t choose three that shouldn’t be mentioned. We’ve all seen some bad treasuries on Etsy from time to time, and none of these are even CLOSE to being in that category! I love the themes of the treasuries, those based on color, focused on crochet, and MysticWind’s treasury based on couples really made me smile every time I viewed it. So there are 8 honorable mentions this week!

Thank you again to everyone who participated in this challenge. It was truly an honor to have been featured in all these beautiful treasuries! I look forward to participating in future challenges with all of you! :-D
