Winner!!!!!

I was going to announce the winner of the blog candy and the forever friends favourite separately this week, but after I randomly generated the winner

which came out as Francesca,
I went to visit her blog and saw her lovely card

and so decided that she could also be this weeks forever friends favourite!!

This challenge is now closed, but come back tomorrow for a new challenge, with another fantastic sponsor.

Francesca, please can you contact us at foreverfriendschallenge@gmail.com, with your postal address.
