Update on December Winners

Hello, everyone!
I wanted to pop in here and let you know that I have not forgotten about picking a Top 3 and Guest Designer for our December challenges. January has been unbelievably busy for me for some reason this year, and  I somehow let this month get by me without getting it done, so here is what is going to happen. 
Our January challenges end this Saturday. I will be posting the Top 3 from our December challenges and the Top 3 from our January challenges on Monday, January 29th. I will also pick one person from our December challenges and one person from our January challenges to be our Guest Designer in March, and I will pick a winner from the December entries and one from our January entries for a $15 gift certificate to an online store of their choice.
Hopefully I will get back on track in February!
Thanks so much for playing along with our challenges and for supporting Lasting Memories! We appreciate each and every one of you!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you find time to create with us this week
