Hello steemians!

Last week was a long week for me and I didn't had time to spend more time on Steemit, but I will try to catch up this week. Today it the day to give away some steem to the people who participated in the #originaltag challenge. There were a lot of great entries that I enjoyed. I want to congratulate and thank all the participants who took part of this #originaltag challenge Nr.8! 

   

I want to thank @anca3drandom for this logo she have made for this challenge! Don't hesitate to check her blog because she is such a great artist! 

Let's see the winners and congratulate them, and of course to congratulate all the participants!

I want to congratulate all the participants and for those who didn't won there is always a second time. And please use original tags, not originaltag as main tag. You have to create your own tag and put it first. Take a better look at the rules. I'm saying this for those who are participating and they don't create tags and use #originaltag.

Big thanks to people who donated and supported the @originaltag challenge!:@infovore, @good-karma, @jamtaylor, @steemit-life and @hanshotfirst!
