February 2nd Birthday Challenge!

Hello! Phew, we all survived January! ;) Hope wherever you are you are enjoying the beginning of Spring.  February marks the 2nd Birthday for Craft for the Craic. I would like to thank all of the Design Team for their continuous hard work and wonderful inspiration. Without them we would not be able to continue to hold challenges and to keep the blog alive. We would also like to sincerely thank each and every one of our participants over the past 2 years, without whom the challenge would not have been as enjoyable or exciting. We will be having a Birthday Giveaway later in the month as a thank you, so be sure to check back in with us!

Thank you so much for all the beautiful January Blues entries. We really enjoyed looking at all the talented and beautiful projects. It was very hard to choose a top 3!
