Winning Treasury Challenge #62

Some words from ShopMichl......

To all the amazing Nonteamies who made treasuries this week:

Thank you thank you thank you for taking a chunk of time from your holiday to regale us with your creativity! I had more fun than I've ever had on Etsy - it was SUCH a blast going through the collections and seeing my leaves scattered everywhere! Like every other judge, I found it brutally difficult to choose a favorite. I mean, REALLY, people - if you're ALL going to be geniuses, how the crap am I supposed to pick just one?

I had a great plan at the beginning - I would only 'favorite' the small percentage of T's that were absolutely for sure in the top ten percent. Epic fail! I believe I favorited 80% of you. The other 20% were beloved as well, and it killed me not to favorite them all - you see, I was forcing myself to be strong.

I fumed and fussed, and finally narrowed it down to about 100 treasuries. Any of which could have won - I went back and forth so many times I am now lying down with vertigo. In the end, I went with one that grabbed me early and never let go. It includes lots of artful objects that make me happy to imagine in my home.
