 The cross team, 50-50 treasury challenge was to take place yesterday and today, but some of us couldn't contain our excitement and started close to midnight on Friday night. Petra of Petra's Creations gave in first and posted this colour explosion of beautiful flowers late on Friday evening.  I have to give Petra a special mention having churned out a steady stream of treasuries all day, each more beautiful than the last. So much so, that in her own words, 'I'm going to turn into a treasury myself....'
A number of us followed suit and in the morning, our German friends took us on and blitzed the daylights out of treasuries...literally. All day long yesterday there was  steady stream of gorgeous lists by both teams.

 It is almost as if we are taking it in relays, depending on our cultural and individual rhythms of the day. Some members have had time to make several. Some have made their very first treasury in order to take part. Well done to all! 

 Having been out during the day and for dinner, I came back around 9pm to discover a whopping 82 treasuries had been made! I wondered would we make it to 100 by midnight GMT.

And at 11.55pm GMT we reached 100 ...actually, 101, but I suspect someone released treasury number 100 from draft format, which buried it somewhere further back and bumped us over the line before we all turned into pumpkins! Thank you whoever that was! 

 I don't know if it was my broadband or the Etsy site undergoing some updates, but things slowed down and pasting, and clicking and commenting became so sluggish I wondered had we actually broken Etsy treasuries!
As I write this at lunchtime, we are at 133!! CLICK HERE FOR THE MOST UP TO DATE LIST


In terms of treasury hotness, as I write there are 3 of the German treasuries on the first page and 3 more on the second page. Our hottest at the minute is by Annarita:

  5. Hallo Irland,
    vielen Dank für das wunderbare Wochenende.
    Es hat so viel Spaß gemacht. Es war so schön zu sehen, wie viele mitgemacht haben und vor allem wie viele geklickt haben. Da müssen manche Finger wund gewesen sein. Außerdem gab es auch einige nette schriftliche Kontakte.
    Vielen lieben Dank und ganz herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg/ Deutschland
