Before we get to this fortnight's challenge we have more sad DT news. Unfortunately, both our beloved team members, Donalda and Jacqui, have decided to step down from their positions with the team. Both are extremely talented and lovely ladies and have been with the challenge from the beginning so this is a very sad time indeed for us at Whiff of Joy Challenge. Donalda, has coordinated the challenge every week for almost two years and made it a huge success from the very beginning, we wouldn't be where we are today without you! We hope you both know how much you will be missed. I know that I personally will miss you both very much, you have been a huge influence and inspiration for me as well as good friends.
Onto this fortnight's challenge which is a sketch by me (Jane). We are sponsored by Heidi from Simon Says Stamp who is offering a $25 gift certificate for her amazing online store!!
