Linky Party Commenter <<< There were some that commented on a bunch of links but not all so I'm leaving this open for a week... I know it's time consuming to comment on each of the linky party posts. 326 link ups is no joke!! If someone comments on ALL THE LINKs for the Linky Party, I'll choose a winner randomly (if there's more than one). I'll add the winner to this post on November 6th and announce it in the {BYSHC} FB Group. >>> Unfortunately, we didn't have a winner for this.

*** Prizes must be claimed by November 6th ***

Please send an email to buildyourstashholidayhop@gmail.com with Falling for the Holidays 2023 {BYSHC} Linky Party Winner in the subject line and include the name of your prize, your physical address, AND email address in the body of the email. Even if you've won in the past or you believe I have your contact information, please send it in the email.

If you haven't had a chance yet to check out all the fabulous creations shared, I hope you will!! There are so many wonderful cards... SO MUCH inspiration! And if you're looking for even more Christmas inspiration, come join us in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group.
