Another Phindy's Place CRAFTING POLL!

Time for our 3rd Phindy's Place Crafting Poll!

I am collecting data on how we like to play in the hand made card crafting world - and the more of you who participate, the more we will learn!

This time, I'm asking you which images you prefer to work with. Just check off your answer in the poll to the right (PCP group click here) and leave your name below and you will be in the running to win this beautiful unreleased image titled "Peace and Cheer"!

Poll runs until December 8th.
