AUGUST Challenge-Add a Tree

The challenge this month is to add a TREE or TREES to your project! It could be your traditional Christmas tree or could be a tree in the woods. Remember, it doesn't have to be Christmas! It could be any Winter celebration or activity!!

There will be no more prize offering as it is getting WAYYYY too expensive to send things in the mail. What I am planning on doing from now until the end of the year, I will collect everyone's names who participates in a challenge and make a draw around Christmas time and send that person a gift certificate to their favorite craft store. This will alleviate the shipping cost. I will make another draw at the end of July of next year again with names from January to July. Then from August to December I will collect names and make another draw.

Here are the projects that the GINGERBREAD GALS made!
