Loving my HAOOCAYR #25 DT projects for 1 April 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

post's purpose...the why: In 2024, I joined the design team for HCAYR that is now known as HAOOCAYR when owner Deanne expanded out the occasions/holidays beyond Halloween. This posting showcases my newest DT projects (spring optional theme and Halloween theme) for HAOOCAYR, Halloween and Other Occasions Crafts All Year Round. 

when: #25 starts April 1 and will expire on April 30, 2025.

what: PROJECT #1 = optional theme of Spring

notes for #1:
