A Sad Top Tip Tuesday Challenge Goodbye

Hello and welcome here!  I can't believe how the summer has blown by.  On a happy note I have rearranged my craft space and I am totally loving it!!  I may take a photo and post it later.  On a sad note Top Tip Tuesday is saying goodbye.  I have totally enjoyed my time on the team and am sorry to see it end, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as me!  Here's a blurp about it:

 Today is the start of our final challenge
Top Tip Tuesday has been open for 5 years, but the time has
come for the challenge to close.

I have had a wonderful time here and I want to thank you all for playing along and helping us make TTT the best it could be!

I decided to close the challenge because I cannot properly give it my WHOLE attention, which it deserves, and I do not want the challenges and posts to start slipping, being late and things starting to go wrong! It's been a difficult year for me with the loss of my mum in January and I decided to close the challenge while we are on a high.  All good things must come to an end and I would rather you all remember us in a fond way.

 

 Challenge - Ribbon and Pearls

There are a ton of prizes for this last challenge so be sure to pop over and check them all out.
