And the winner is............

OK, so.... here are the results.

I started off with 43 entries on 1 January.

Of those 43,  30 participated in the Spot the Difference competition.

Of those 30, 8 found all the differences*

15 people found the words written in the crossword puzzle.

Of those 15, 6 found all the differences too.

So I had SIX correct entries!

Thank you so much to everyone who took the trouble to read my posts over the past 30 days, and spent time on the two competitions.  I will be emailing everyone who found all the differences, and those who completed the puzzle... that's a total of 15 people.... to give them a very special Special Offer 😊

However, Small Dog was initially reluctant to provide her name drawing services.

suddenly, miraculously, Small Dog appears at my feet... all tail-wagging, furry enthusiasm*

Me:  Ah.  You're here.  What were you saying?

SD: *hopefully* Treet???

Me: Oh, OK.  Good girl.  *administers treat* Take your paw off it then......



Me: Right, let's have a look at it.  Ewww... it's a bit wet.

SD *chewing* Nuthen rong with a bitt of dog saleyeva.

Me*sigh* No, I suppose not.

And the winner is......

*drum roll*



Congratulations Clare... get in touch with me with your contact details and I'll send your kits off to you.

* The answers to the Spot the Difference photo..... there were 12, although as one of them was at the very edge of the photo and could have looked as if it wasn't part of the scene, we accepted 11 and 12 as correct answers.


The words hidden in the coloured squares were TOWER HOUSE DOLLS!
Thanks again to everyone who entered.  If you answered either 11 or 12 to the photo competition, and/or correctly identified Tower House Dolls as the hidden words, I will be in touch with you over the next few days.

Thank you again for this month of posts and all the care you took for us.
Rood night, Rosanna

Congratulations to the winner, Clare!

Sandra, you are one sneaky picture difference maker. I thought I had examined every pixel but I missed three of the changes. Your contest certainly brightened up this January. Thanks again, Esther
