Lovely to see so much green last week - and some upcycled items too - thanks for another very successful week - without you all, this challenge blog would be nothing.
Please note that I publish the prize winners here and on our facebook page, but don't notify winners individually - it is up to you all to check to see if you have won and email me as requested. There are one or two unclaimed prizes, so it's worth having a look back to see if you were a winner.
