Fabulous February Project Challenge

It’s February!!!

Remember our January Challenge last year?  Well, it was such a huge success that we’re doing it again, this time in the month of February, due to my long trip to New Zealand last month to see my sister!

We all know how hard it is to get through the winter without much gardening to do. We can do it TOGETHER with this creative “Fab Feb Challenge!”

Many of us have a file of garden ideas or have wanted to do a project they’ve seen here on our page.  Look through your file or in our albums and pick one you can do inside or outside in good weather…So..

Announcing a “Fab Feb Project Challenge!”

Join us! Read carefully:

Step#1

Choose any garden project you’ve wanted to do. Easy!

Step#2

Decide to do it now and post your intentions, by naming your intended project.

 

Then…. TWO photos:

Step#3

Sometime THIS month, post a “How to” photo of the materials you’re using.

Example…Constance McAlpin‎’s “How to” photo

Step#4

Sometime THIS month, post a photo of your Finished project!

Example: Constance McAlpin‎’s Finished project photo.

Label all your photos “Fab Feb Project Challenge”

Sooo, first step: Write a post on our Wall OR in the comments here, naming your project AND the words,  “Fab Feb Project Challenge”
