A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge: February 2022

Winners for January's Challenge #1-2022

Hello, and welcome!

It's time to announce the winners from our January challenge and we're going to be announcing each individual winner shortly.

Before we get underway today, I need to announce a small change to how this blog runs.

After finally falling ill last month from exhaustion, I've realised that something need to change for me to be able to remain healthy and still enjoy everything associated with crafting, and that includes running this blog successfully.

Since I've been running this blog, I've found announcing the winners on the last day of each month to be an incredibly difficult deadline to meet. I don't feel I can continue with the stress of just two days to complete the winner's post without making myself sick again.

I have a simple solution but it means I need to make one simple change to how the challenge operates. That change is to move the announcement of the winners post from the last day of each month to the 28th day of the following month, as I have done this month, where I am announcing the January winners as soon as the February challenge has closed, on the 28th (ADST).

This is not a new idea, other challenges give their team leader time to work without the pressures I've been under. I know it means entrants will have to wait to find out if they've won, and I deeply apologise for that, but it also means I'll be able to stay healthy enough to keep running this challenge, retain our awesome sponsors, continue to assist members over in our tutorials Facebook group and take the appropriate time to view each entry properly. I just want to do this last task better, not faster and show the respect to each entry it deserves. This month's post showed me just how much difference this change makes.

Also, this finally means every month's challenge will be able to remain open for the same length of time, as our February challenge just has.

So now, from today, all our winners will be announced on the 28th of each month at 7am, Australian Eastern (Sydney) Time (ADST).
This was not an easy decision to make because I don't like making changes but it will mean we have a more consistent date for the winner's announcement post, ie. from being just the last day each month to becoming the 28th of each month.

I thank you all sincerely your understanding!
