Winners for Challenge #29

Hello...hope everyone is doing well this Sunday. Before I announce our winners today, I would like to extend my prayers and thoughts to those in Japan who suffered the horrific, devastating earthquake and tsunami. For those along the Pacific coastline in the US, we were fortunate to not suffer any major damages. It's a rough reminder of how vulnerable we can be to natural disasters.

Now back to our winners post, a big THANKS to everyone who played along with us last week to create something with a critter! What an amazing turnout it was, so many adorable entries! Thanks again to our fabulous sponsor, Meljen's Designs! So our lucky random winner this week is......
