Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: This post shares my new fictional creatures featured at the #6 challenge period for Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenges Blog using the old/former The Fairy And The Unicorn (TFATU) challenge blog address. We accept more than fairies and unicorns so link up gnomes, elves, herbalum pixies (garden pixies), angels/Cupid, dragons, phoenixes, griffins, Yetis, and lots more! Fairy tale characters are welcomed too!
