Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: This post leans to my love for rural living. Joe and I currently live in a small 1,400 person town that has a few amenities like 2 gas stations, a bank, post office, 2 bars, a small grocery store, and more.
FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges came from this rural living background and also that I spent some years teaching home economics/FACS with grades 7th-12th students. Culinary labs, food safety, best practices for labs and working with team-mates, doing the grocery shopping after school or on the weekends...Oh! Those were the days!

Becca, this is such a fun card! I love all the different elements in it. I like how the cake is a little tilted too. That’s such a fun twist. Your town sounds really sweet, and being a home teacher sounds like it was a very rewarding career. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We always love seeing what you’ve made!
