I am a Winner!!!


When Dynamic Duos first began, my thoughts were, how can
I create something very special, as I always wanted to display
a Dynamic Diva Badge on my blog..........

While I was making this card, it just fell into place
with little effort....and I felt it was a special one!!

This is the display on Dynamic Duos about my win.


Look at my Dynamic Diva Badge....WOW!!!
Thank you so much to all at Dynamic Duos
