Oh wow, I just learn that my project was chosen! YAY! I am so happy right now, TSTR has been my favorite place to hang out, I always worried that I cannot make it for the challenge every week, I made that project the day before I left for vacation, it was on my traveling check list under "things to be done before leaving for San Diego" LOL! Congrats to everyone, there were so many beautiful projects here and the inspiration samples from DT are always great, thanks for creating such a fun place for us Debbie!
