Hi Challengeers.
Now that our IN and OUT winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight (well done to all of them!), it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but still did very well.
Bear in mind that this was a cap-hitting week of entries (maxed out at 200), so if your entry appears on any of the lists below, then you definitely deserve a pat on the back. Competition was intense!
Love, Deb

Wow, some incredibly imaginative and creative stories this week.
And the Kane family rivalry continues unabated. Is that my teenage son I see just moping around at position 11. Stop sulking and go get your bedroom tidy! And there's his mother sitting comfortably at position 23, trying not to think about the ignominy of being overtaken by the younger generation. But where, o where, is the young man's father?
Have a blessed day

I haven't been around much - I've been too busy getting ready for our wedding (just 15 days!) But it brought a smile to come back and see that I made the top 40 this week...

When words are drops of color
Which blend into a work of art,
They enter in your garden
And cultivate the heart.
