Congratulations winners! Well done! I enjoyed reading all the submissions- even the ones I didn't get a chance to comment on. What a great contest. Thank you Authoress, and thank you Rachel Brooks for the time and energy you both brought to this. I feel like I took away a lot of helpful tips. Jenny aka #15.
