Voting for January "Rising Star" Challenge

Sorry everyone but when the polling was launched yesterday #24 was missing from the list. We have to start a new voting session, so if you had cast a vote on January 9th you may need to re-vote. The new poll will be open until Jan 16th. New for 2013, the moderator team has opted for a challenge to be participated by previous non-winners of the EtsyBeadweavers team for a chance to show off their talents and compete for prizes in the process.
