Happy 3rd Birthday Papertake Weekly Challenge!

Welcome to the Papertake Weekly Challenge's third birthday blog hop!  I have been with the challenge team for just a bit over a year now and I am thrilled to be able to celebrate with them.  Hopefully you arrived here from Dawny's blog, if you didn't you might want to pop over to the Papertake Weekly challenge blog to get all the details and hop along with us.  Now before I get to all the prize info I want to let you know about this weeks challenge.  This week you get to choose any challenge from the last 3 years to play along with.  I choose the challenge from the last week in September of 2009, my first challenge as a permanent member of the team.  That weeks challenge was "Black and White, plus one".
