B for Bows or Boys

Good morning Bloggers! Samantha here.  We have a new challenge for you this fortnight and Wilma is our host this time.  But first ...

I/we have some really great news about our new DT members.

Firstly thank you to all of you that applied to be an ABC Christmas challenge teamie! we were so thrilled so many of you applied, however it made our job difficult to choose we wanted to pick lots but we had to narrow it down to 3...

but as there were so many brilliant entries we had to choose 5 thehhehee! soooo the good news then... Our new teamies come with a wide range of styles and have a wealth of talent! So I won't hold you in suspense any longer...the five lovely new teamies we've chosen to join our happy DT family are:

Michelle Fiona Chris Emma Angela






YAY!
They can not wait to get started!
So I will hand back over to Wilma to tell you all about our
B challenge!!


Hi, Wilma here and I am your host for this challenge. 

Our new challenge is:

B for Bows or Boys.

You can choose which ever you like best, maybe both as long as it is Christmas themed.
It is still very cold here (the Netherlands), so the weather is perfect to make Christmas cards.

And how do you like our new layout? Beautiful isn't it? 
Thanks to Samantha.

Our fab sponsor's are: 

Bugaboo

Z for Zoo Animal

It's Helen here hijacking Dorte's post to say a sad goodbye to our lovely DT buddy Miria who is moving on to pastures new after this challenge - thanks so much for all of your wonderful DT projects and hard work - we've loved having you on our team and wish you all the best!

So, as we have recently lost Kelly as well, we're on the look out for some new DT playmates...and will be holding a DT call on this challenge!

So, if you think you can:

•  Make a Christmas card/project for each fortnightly challenge
• Take a turn in hosting a couple of challenges in 2013
• Comment on a couple in every 10 entries for each challenge

Then, simply play along with this challenge, and add 'DT' after your name in the linky, and you could be getting ahead for next Christmas with the most friendly DT in blogland :0)
