I loved when Treasure Detector Magic was re-released! It was one of my favorite magic pins, even though I would get sad if I could not find any "Treasure"! :)

I'll keep that in mind for the next time. Unfortunately we are missing pictures from a lot of the old newsletters and so we would not have images for the earlier winners :(

Now, I completely regret not signing up to participate in the Gingerbread House Competition. I looked like fun, but at the time I didn't have enough credits to build my own Gingerbread House.


I think all of the winners did a wonderful job! Everyone that participated should be very proud of themselves for doing such a good job! :)

LOL I remember when the players won the Gingerbread House Contest, everyone would say they looked like penguins!
I remember all of this. I had 4* or 5* confetti. I also had three {I think that much} 5* bat magic.
