16th Birthday winners and top picks

Good afternoon, what a fabulous fortnight it's been celebrating our 16th Birthday, you really did embrace the challenge and shared so many wonderful creations with us, we can't thank you enough for all your support.

We start with the winners as selected by Random Org: ~~no 124 Anesha~~, ~~no 92 Eve~~, ~~no 24 Tina~~, ~~no 116 Guri~~, no ~~131 Becca~~, ~~no 140 Deanne~~ and ~~no 55 Deb~~......all claimed and posted, thanks everyone.

Congratulations everyone, please mail me by Friday 13th June with your full name and postal address. Any prize unclaimed by that date will be re-drawn and new winners notified direct.

Winners outside the UK: Prizes are always sent as gifts, but sometimes Customs fees are added in your own Country, this is out of out control so by claiming your prize you are accepting responsibility for any fees and we cannot assist should this happen (Becca, Deanne and Deb, your prizes are being shipped from within your own Country so hopefully no issues for you).

Now for the Top picks and as it's been a special challenge it's a Top10, as you can imagine so very difficult choosing with almost 200 entries.
