Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: Anything Goes Country Christmas or AGCC is the monthly theme (offset time period) for FQCCCB or FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenges Blog. And September will be the end of our 2nd year in blogland! I mostly do cards and decided this time to do a gift tag. I took a Pebbles tag and added three layers under it to expand it and make it mine. There is a Christmas card that I chose not to share on the FQCCCB blog and have it here as an extra project.
when: #23 starts August 7 and ends on September 5, 2025
