My Heart's Quest Pretty in Pink preview B post project

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!

who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy blogger who owns 14 crafting challenge blogs that are from brand new to about 5 years old! About 60-70% of my challenges are now going for 6.5-7 weeks long with a week or more break between sessions with staggered dates: 27, 28, 2, 3, 5 & 7. My new one and another one (Ally's Angels) are offset for almost a month starting on the 15th of each month. There's another (Critter Crazy) that starts on the 1st that only goes for 3.5 weeks out of 4. Having the different time lengths gives me a chance to get my administrative duties completed, do participants' commenting and some personal down time to do day trips or occasional overnight excursions with my retired hubby.
