Challenge 258 - 8th of May - Birthday - OUR ANNUAL BLOGHOP

Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday Dear CRAFT Challenge

Happy Birthday To Us!

(Sorry, this is a rather very long post!)

Can you believe it? We are already 5 years old. Originally started by Tracy from Just Tracy Crafts and with a DT mostly recruited from Trimcraft forum members (Hence the term CRAFT Challenge, which stood for Crafters Residing Are Friendly Trimmies. Or if you wished alternative meaning of Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) on the 4^th of May 2009.

We have now grown to be a large team of Design Team Members from all around the world, supplemented with lots of Guest Designers who join us for a month at a time. I am the only one still left from the original team (Jo) and have been lucky to have such a lot of very talented (G)DT members help me keep this challenge blog going. Our main aim has continually been to HAVE FUN!

We have always welcomed all kinds of craft, not just paper craft (unless specifically stated so in the challenge at the time) and are happy to have such a large group of faithful followers.

So, how are we going to celebrate this milestone?

Well, how else can we celebrate than to have our yearly Blogaversary Blog Hop?

And this year we have these fabulous sponsors who are supplying the prizes for our winners on the blog hop:

Now, how is that for a set up? We are very happy and grateful that these fabulous sponsors have agreed to sponsor our Blog Hop.

Now, how can you get to win any of the prizes provided by our sponsors?
