My featured FQCCCB #25 wintry outdoors Christmas DT card for 7 Oct 2025

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

why: This posting focuses on the newest owner/DT contribution for FQCCCB which is FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenges Blog. By country Christmas, the AGCC theme is referring to outdoors/exterior Christmas &/or winter weather/seasonal items/topics. Holiday decorations can be wreaths, decorated sleds, lights on the porch, garland wrapped on the mailbox post, wrapped boxes sitting by the front door, etc. Wintry topics and activities might be deer, rabbits, cardinals, etc. in the snow or snow-covered trees or on the house or truck; also ice skating, sledding, sleigh rides, making snow angels or having a snowball fight, etc. Snowflakes. starry night skies. poinsettias. roses. farm animals. blue jays. owls. evergreen bushes. snow on fence rails. This time I went back to a paper pad that I haven't used for months to use this gorgeous poinsettias and some holly print paper as the focal paper.
