Hi and welcome back to the CSI Project!
Happy weekend too!
We are having so much fun in the forum. If you haven’t registered, you may do so here.
You can introduce yourself, get to know other bloggers and even gain new followers. You can also share ideas and projects as well as discuss craft topics or ask questions.
The CSI Project’s goal for this year is to become more of a craft community so that we can gather virtually to support one another in our crafty endeavors. There will also be blogging advice and tip in the forum so that you can make you blogging dreams come true too.
This was a great 2nd week here in the new year and so many great projects linked up. You really impressed, Lucy, from Craftberry Bush. Here is what she said about her experience as a CSI judge.
“I had a great time visiting your wonderful blogs. I must say that even though it was fun and I hope to do it again,it wasn’t easy coming up with one winner. ”
Onto the winners, starting with the #1 Project. The judge’s comments are in italics.

This is such a great idea. I love it especially because I live in Arizona and my kids never see snow, so this is a great way to bring that to them.
Congratulations to all of the CSI winners. Be sure to go grab your button here and proudly display on your blog.

Thanks for choosing my project to be among the Top 10, Lucy! I love the white felt on the brown wreath, as well–the flowers are gorgeous.
I’m SO flattered, especially coming from Lucy. I kind of have a blog crush on her!!
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed looking through the awesome projects!
WooHoo! My girlfriend and I both were just saying last week that we never win any of the random entry goodies! What a surprise to wake up this morning and find out I won a little shopping trip! My daughter has already picked out an owl she wants. Looking forward to going shopping. Thanks!
Lucy, thank you so much for choosing my winter mantel! What a fabulous surprise!!
