Hi Challengeers.

It's time to give a bit of encouragement to all those who didn't quite make it to the top in the BEFORE and AFTER Challenge, but still did very well.

Once again, competition was intense for this topic, so if your entry appears on any of the lists below, then you definitely deserve a pat on the back. Well done.

Love, Deb
