  3. I don't get to play along often, Becca. But I knew this country themed project would fit into one of your challenges. I try to link up when I can. Have a blessed and creative week.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Karen L!!! I've got an offset month-long so that the competition is open both at the middle of the month when some other challenge blogs start their competitions and at the end of the month when so many have shut down in order to get ready for new competitions on the 1st day. So keep that in mind when you're showcasing rural outdoor topics. :)
