It's April 30th and for as much as I couldn't wait for April 1st to get here so that
National Letter Writing Month could begin,
I am equally excited that it's over and that I can start a new challenge.
I love a challenge!
So let's get going.
But first... a tally and total count!
Ok... drumroll for the final count..........
155 letters recieved
105 letters mailed out to each player
155 letters mailed out to thank each and every one that sent me something. You people rock! It's been a fabulous month. So let's keep it rolling.

This super cute card above came from letter writing friend Evelyn.
So so cute. It gave me a great idea...
The front of the card says... April Showers bring May Flowers
and on the inside it reads "And the mail truck"
with hand cute little bitty envelopes coming out of the back.
Thank you Evelyn.
So creative... look at you!
Eveyln kinda inspired this challenge
along with all the amazing flowers that are all around
the sierras this month.
So, here's what I am challenging you to do. I want ONE piece of art that has to be inspired by flowers. If you really want to challenge yourself... do one piece of art a week. Or... go for broke and do one piece of art A DAY. Draw, clip out pics and put into a journal, sew a bag, paint a still life, take a photo, do some mixed media with silk flowers.... whatever you do. Do it with flowers.
Send me the pic(s) of what you do, i will post them here and then the one with the most votes ( via comments ) or the one i choose randomly - whichever works better will get a handmade something from me made with the inspiration of flowers. You have from now May 1st thru May 31st. Winners will be announced on the 5th of June when Flat Fanny comes out to play for the summer..... so much fun!

Looking forward to flowers and backward at stacks and Cstacks of mail. It was a lot of fun, and I shall keep in touch with my awesome pen pal, just not so frequently. Thank you for organizing and playing so hard in this, Lindsay. You are inspiring and you make me feel tired at the same time :-)
