September Fall Monthly Challenge WINNERS

We have two monthly challenge winners this month....
Linda and Donald both received the same number of votes!
It's a tie!! Hooray!!!

With the holiday season approaching, what could be better than buying handmade cards to send to your loved ones, and buying awesome smelling candles to light...well really whenever you wanted.

Here are some selections from Linda:





Aren't these cards just awesome? If I didn't use my Hello Kitty ones I would definitely buy cards from Linda.
Oh, and she has 2 shops:

and
http://www.etsy.com/shop/lindacaterpillar

Now to Donald. This man has awesome candles. I am always ranting and raving about them. I actually have a few (and I currently have one in my artfire shopping cart).

Challenge Winner.....DINA!

From what I can remember, I think this is Dina's second time winning the monthly challenge! Good for her!!!

Shop with Dina here!
Here is a quick preview of her shop:





I hope you like what you see because she has even more stuff which is all equally beautiful.
If I had more money than a college student, I would buy from Dina in a heartbeat.

May Monthly Challenge Winners?

So, The person who won is no longer with the team, and same with the runner up, I have made a wonderful plan!
Everyone besides the two who left received one vote, except me, so I am going to do a mini feature on everyone else who entered! (This is why this post took forever).
Valerie - http://www.etsy.com/shop/ValerieEssentials




This lady is quite a gal. She takes care of her tiny tikes at home, runs her shop, and is constantly in my news feed for facebook. Her trade of choice? Candles. Not just regular candles either. She makes themed candles. She is also not restricted by size, shape, or type.

Linda - http://www.etsy.com/shop/lindabutterfly & http://www.etsy.com/shop/LindaCaterpillar




Take a hop across the pond and now we have Linda! She has two shops on etsy and is a great explorer. She uses many different mediums and transforms her art into many different things. You can never find two things that look the same in either of her shops.

Dina - http://www.etsy.com/shop/elektrajewelry




Dina has only had 28 sales in her shop, but from what I can gather, she has probably made around or over $500.00. She makes GREAT jewelry from some of the best materials. Do your research; find what she makes somewhere else and compare prices. I'm sure that you will stick with Dina after that.

Susan - http://www.etsy.com/shop/susanneedlehands



This girl is crafty. You can give her yarn, or anything that is string-like, and she will make something out of it. She has her personality is all of her work and she always seems happy. Susan, you should use me for job references.

Donald - http://www.artfire.com/users/candleguy821



I never have anything but good words for and about Donald. He is great at everything he does. He makes wonderful, amazing candles and he writes terrifically! Both of which, are very time consuming. He puts his heart into anything and everything he does.

I really hope that this makes up for the very late post! I also hope that everyone loves it!! :)
Have fun guys! Next challenge is weddings and romance and it is due at the end of July!
