"Champion on wooden shoes" did not make top 10, but I was very proud to represent the netherlands, and enjoyed being part of the TBOC Challenge very, very much!! It was good to see that so many took time and energy to join, even though the time table for some was very short.
Thank you also to Lynette and TWTBA for orgenizing!!

DoodlebearsHiya Sandi, congratulations. It looks like bears work out far more in Australia than here in the UK. :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Matilda looks like one fit lady. 
I was pleased to see that my Daisy, spectator for England was in fifth place, not a winner but still good.

Melbourne, AustraliaThank you all for your congratulations...it's very heart warming to receive such nice comments from you all. I must admit I probably wouldn't have entered if it hadn't been for Kathy's invitation in the first place as I very rarely enter competitions these days, unless I'm coerced.
A very special thank you to Lynette for making it possible and fun.
