Happy Birthday Honey card on 10 Oct 2025 serves as reminder projects

  Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This card is being used as a reminder card for 3 of my challenge blogs: FarmQuest General Store and FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenges and Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love. I'm going to get triple effort for this. FQGS' theme is anything farm and country goes. (bee, hive, honeycomb) and FQGGCB' theme is anything food goes. (honey/honeycomb) and HQCOLCB (birthday)

This is also my husband's birthday card for tomorrow. Don't worry, he doesn't use the computer or internet on his cellphone. So I'm safe to share today. :)
