Just checked a challenge and found out I WON!
I ALWAYS CHECK TO LOOK AT THE TOP TEN SHOTS AND PARTICULARLY THE WINNERS…but the last thing I expected to find was my image in the winner’s spot!!
Oh, and I just found out that the winner gets an $20 RB voucher!! :O How good is that?
:D :D
Thank you very much to all the wonderful and kind people who voted for light one candle

Thank you poupoune….I don’t think I’ve ever put up such an astounding bragging entry before. But I was just so stunned…I just had to do it….nearly entitled it “What…I won?” They were the words I spoke aloud when I saw it…lol!..xxxx

Fantastic to find such wonderful news on a Monday:-) Well done and richly deserved Jan. Don.
Jan Stead JEMp...:
Hi Don….thank you so much for your praise and affirmation. As I said in my reply to poupoune (above), I’ve never done this before….don’t like drawing attention to myself or bragging. So this really emanated from my shock at the discovery….oh, and I was just a little amazed but happy too!..xx
