Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

purpose: this blog post features 2 reminder design team inspiration creations for FarmQuest General Store challenge blog that I own. FQGS' monthly theme is anything farm and/or country goes. Think rural and outdoor setting anywhere in the world--swamp, pond, bayou, creek, campsite in the backyard or a forest park, farms or ranches, mountains, deserts, etc. 

when: #16.5 is the reminder post on May 21, 2024 with #16 competition period of May 7-June 5, 2024
