Challenge #25 Rub-Ons

Hi everyone! I know we still haven't announced our winners from challenge #23 and we missed that week's TOP 3 SCOOPS. We apologize for the inconvenience and we are very sorry for all the miss steps. We are trying to plan for a better year and hopefully we will be dividing the responsibilities of the blog in a more efficient way. We will soon start looking for a new team and we hope all of you submit your entries for our call. We will start looking for a new team on the month of DEC... I give you my pinky word that I will post winners and top 3 scoops for the week challenge #23 this next Wednesday.

Thanks for your support and for playing with us week after week!
