Winners and Honourable Mentions for LMF Treasury Challenge 02

Some words from Mysticwynd -

First, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge and spread the word even if they didn't participate by creating a treasury. Every little bit helps when it comes to promoting these wonderful shops.

I loved the moods your treasuries created - relaxing, energetic, playful, and thoughtful - all in all, exactly the many moods I find myself in when I'm near the ocean. Selecting a winner was tough, because they were all so great, but when I thought about my inspiration piece and what inspired me to create it, I decided that BarbieBoutiqueBasics' treasury theme came closest to what I hoped to embrace. The ocean is full of so much beauty and wonder, and literature and legend has given us many magical creatures and stories to create world of mystery and enchantment. Water has the ability to transform, create, and give life to this blue planet, and I think the winning treasury captured that the best!

Thank you all again, and congrats to Crystal from BarbieBoutiqueBasics and to the honorable mentions as well! Excellent curating and awesome collections!

Karen
