*This is an international card exchange - you send a handmade card to the person above you on the list, and you receive one from the person below you on the list. If that's not enough of a win-win, I also randomly draw a prize winner each month. I do a reveal of all the cards with links to the challenge participants' blogs or online photo galleries - which is a great way to increase exposure to your blog or photo gallery!. Please read the Rules and FAQ's if you want to play along. :~D

See a past CCC reveal.

Total cards exchanged as of April 1, 2016: 2,007

Hi Deborah, did you notice there's a spelling mistake on that stamp? How curious. First one to write Z in this comment stream gets a really dodgy crafty candy parcel from me. Hugz

[Deborah]

Well, I didn't notice, and after perusing it a bit, I still don't know which thing is misspelled. (My wine knowledge is scant, I'm afraid.) Do you think most people will notice it? Or is it small/obscure enough that it'll go unnoticed? DO you think I need to buy another stamp?

[ionabunny]

Don't buy another stamp. It's fine. I think it's a lovely background. Just have another glass and no one will notice anyway. You obviously have seen my candy prizes cos you didn't include a Z. It's still up for grabs ladies. Hugz

[Greta H]

I see you want a Z for your candy--yah! I agree--don't buy another stamp, Deborah!

[Deborah]

Okay, I'm gonna keep it!

[ionabunny]

Deborah, you can't keep it. You are giving it away. It's lovely. Greta, send me your snail mail address to craftynomad at gmail dot com and I'll send you a little something something. Hugz

[Deborah]

LOL, Gail!

I meant that I would keep it for the challenge prize, you Big Silly!
