A.R.T. Challenge #1

Hello Everyone!

TODAY is the big launch of a new challenge blog called A.R.T. (A Random Thursday) Challenge!  We have an easy one to get your started and hope you will join us EVERY THURSDAY for a new fun themed challenge.  Here's what we're looking for today:

SUMMERTIME

(what does summertime mean to you??)

To me summertime means beautiful flowers, green grass, birds and butterflies!  

As a child, my father had a huge flower garden within our semi-circle driveway and the circle was filled with various colors of Sweet Williams.  The butterflies came in 'groves' to draw in the sweet nectar of these sweet flowers and, just as this little girl is doing, I used to crouch down and watch the butterflies ... they were so beautiful and fascinating!

I hope you'll come join in the fun at this BRAND NEW challenge blog which I am so proud to be a member of the design team!  Please be sure to check out the beautiful creations from my team mates ... such a talented group of ladies!!  WOW!
