Months of crafting and snapping and posting and commenting are over.
The votes are in and have been counted. I was absolutely meticulous about this and discarded a few votes that had been entered more than once and took the total over three ... In kindness, let’s say that was just over enthusiasm on the part of some voters … no vote fixing here, my friends … oh no ...
The Japanese Scrap Bag Challenge gauntlet was enthusiastically and creatively taken up by The Magnificent Nine:
A. Hadley - school tags
B. Emily - sandwich bag
C. Bianca - japanophile muff
D. Beth - Pleat front Sorbetto top
E. Alli - eating out pouch
F. Ella - belly dancing corset and bra trim
