Hi Challengeers.
Now that our HARD and SOFT winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight (well done to all of them!), it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but still did very well. So if your entry appears on any of the lists below, you deserve a pat on the back.
Love, Deb

Way to go all top 40'ers!
What a thrill for me, to have placed in the top 40 two entries in a row. I guess maybe Rick is right (shhhh don't tell him I said that!) and I can't say I am not a writer any longer.
(one of these days I might place higher than Rick...hahaha)
