Now we also have two true team players who deserve a special mention for their efforts and display of team spirit on the day........

IRISH TEAM PLAYER CHAMPION:

Petra of Petra's Creations ensured the Irish team blew the challenge out of the water, relentlessly turning out list after list. She made a whopping 35 treasuries, each one more fabulous than the last. What's more, she stuck around with the help of a few friends to push the total over 200 by midnight. Well done!!!!


GERMAN TEAM PLAYER CHAMPION:
Ring "Tangle" brown
Brown Tangle Ring by Charme Charming
 Regina of Charme Charming   was another star during this challenge. She was there all day clicking, hearting, commenting on all the treasuries and doing her best to push treasuries to the top of the hotness list - another important job!! Well done and thank you to both our champs.

  5. I should add that there were lots of great team players on both sides: those who made loads of treasuries, those who clicked commented and promoted and even those who quietly came in and posted a treasury once or twice early in the morning or late at night.
