The month of December is a busy one... and it is abundantly clear by the challenge participation ;)  I didn't even get one done for HDH018!  And we had TWO WEEKS to do it... what a slacker I am.  So, the Gruesome Twosome for the last two challenges: HDH017 - Spooky Sprites Gruesome Twosome:   Linda aka Oz for a very cool vintage project, and Lynx for her fiendishly grinning woodland sprite.  And you two had NO competition... LITERALLY!  Thanks so much for sticking with me ladies! HDH018 - Wintery Wraiths Gruesome Twosome :  Anne for a very cool Christmas parlor scene, and Lynx for her unearthly haunted Christmas doorway. Please grab your GT badge from the sidebar, Anne, and linky it back to here!  Oz & Lynx are already set ;)  Thanks so much for everyone's participation!  I can't wait to gear up after the hollidays! .

Check this out!  Remember the bonus drawing for HDH013 Beauty School Dropout ?  You know creepy-cool image I used on the card I made... well, the owner of that stamp company, Barb Harper of Stamp It Crazy , left this comment: Hello Barb, I want to say you did a wonderful job with the creepy girl image. I will help you out and give your contest winner a free creepy girl image . Great Work! Barb Harper www.stampitcrazy.net Which means that Susan gets another freebie!  Yeay for Stamp It Crazy!  Thanks so much, Barb , and I can't wait to use some of the images I just purchased from you... they are fabulous :)  Susan, I've still got your address, so let me know if it is ok to send it on to Barb! Now, doesn't this make you want to participate in challenges even more?! .

Ok, so I've decided to leave last week's challenge up again this week... I know it gets busy around this time of year.  So y'all have another week to get to this one :)  Thanks to Lynx for your participation... we always look forward to your creations! I hope your Winter Holiday is fantastic and drama-free ;)

Keep in mind that I said that for this challenge, you can use something with a fairie, pixie, or other wee ones ... my wee one is an elf :)  Not just any elf... a very, very evil elf.  He is probably one of the most evil little buggers I've seen... thank you Torrente!

Now the question is... WHICH person on my naughty list gets this :) ...
