Hello High Hopes Fans!!

Before we get to the winner of the last challenge and our new challenge, we have some sad news...

The fabulous Jeanne has decided to step down from the team so she can focus on taking care of her parents. Jeanne has been part of this team since the beginning of the High Hopes Challenge blog!
She has created numerous cards for the challenges including many magazine publications as well!!
She may come back from time to time to help with releases or just to have some fun, but she will no longer be participating in the weekly challenges.

Jeanne, you will be greatly missed on the team. You are such a huge part of the success of High Hopes over the years and your humor has entertained the Divas to no end!!
I learned early on never to drink anything while reading your comments on the Diva's group since I usually end up choking from laughter!!
We wish you the best of luck with everything and will continue to keep you in our prayers.

No that I have blown my nose from crying, let's get back to business...

There were so many lovely Purple creations last week!!

But sadly, there is only 1 winner. And that is...

Congratulations, Lynn in NI! Please email me at stampandcreate@bellsouth.net with your mailing address and choice of 1 free High Hopes stamp.
