Blog hopper, who fulfills the above criterion & WHO WOULD BE THE FIRST TO GIVE ALL THE ANSWERS CORRECT, would stand to WIN the CANDY TREAT!

Since Hastkala”… Ashaon Ka also completed its second year a couple of days ago, THE SPONSOR CANDY is a combined TREAT….. :)

The blog hop will be OPEN through Saturday, March 3, 2012 @ 11:59 pm IST.  Winner will be announced on Sunday on ICR as well as all the “HOP 2 HUNT” Treasure blogs.

Finally...I'm back on track after a whirlwind of a trip to India.  It almost feels like a dream!  Although I'm not enjoying the blistering cold, I was ecstatic to be back home to my fiance and my dog Khushi...I missed them both terribly, so it was so nice to have something to look forward to when leaving India :)


I'll be posting again shortly, so here is my first post for the day...the long awaited challenge winner!  I apologize for the Inlinkz not working.  I actually had no clue till I got back home from the trip.  To make it fair, I listed all of the entries that I could find, before using random.org to pick the winner.

The winner of the CMP #6 Color Splash Challenge picked via Random.org is 
Jo


Congrats Jo!  You have 3 days to contact me for your prize and winner's badge!  Thank you everyone for sharing your beautiful creations!  I hope you'll join us again!
