CRAFT ENGINEER BUTTON winner

 

You may recall that I entered my Elfville project into a craft engineering contest last fall. I was pleased as punch when I learned I was a winner and got some fabulous prizes.  Yesterday, I got even more exciting news.

The folks over at the Robin’s Nest sent me this permanent badge for my blog. They have been so busy with new product launches that they didn’t have time before now to send out the winning badges. I am honored to display this on Paper Calliope. Thank you Robin’s Nest!
