CHALLENGE #1 WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!

The shabby chic style has certainly been well and truly embraced!
The creations entered are such a testament to how much we needed a shabby challenge blog!!
We are soooooo glad! Thank you for supporting our first challenge and inspiring us!

Choosing a Winner
It’s a majority vote and there’s been a lot of to-ing and fro-ing from one creation to the next – there’s too much talent!! Agonising over creations has been in full swing!!

Along with our overall Winner, there are five ‘Honourable Mentions’ chosen by each DT member. A sixth favourite will also be chosen by a visiting Guest Designer (when we have one). While it won’t win any prizes, it will be uploaded onto Shabby with a link back to each personal blog.
