ReplyDeleteHi, Trudy. This particular challenge is over, but please feel free to use the questions for posts on your blog. I was planning a new challenge for September 2018, but so much has happened to knock me off my groove since December 2017 that I am not sure if we'll have one this year or not. We'll see how it goes.
DeleteHave a blessed day!
