It's Lynn here with my optional theme for the next two weeks. I've chosen ....

👗FEMININE ðŸ‘—

or Anything Goes

A note to entrants: None of us like rules and the vast majority of our entrants do follow them, but there are still a few who use products that could potentially create Copyright issues for both themselves and Allsorts. So we would respectfully ask you to check Rule 2 which explains. In future any entry using those items will be marked ineligible and we will no longer leave courtesy comments to explain.

Please remember, all entries must provide name/makes of products used (our rules explain why), if missing, entries will not be included in winner/Top 7 selections.

Two prizes from AALL and Create
