Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old crafting blogger, who was reared by supportive parents and grandparents that encouraged me to try different fine arts and crafts, practical home arts plus different clubs and organizations as well as church youth group and other church ministries while growing up! Even sports were tried but not really my forte'! Softball and volleyball were two that I did fairly well however volleyball wasn't a school sport until several years after I graduated. Softball however came back into my life in my early 30s participating on my church's women's summer rec league team for 3 years.
why: This posting focuses on my challenge blog, Critter Crazy! The theme is easy: anything goes with featured critter. This month I decided to do a monkey. It was creatively enjoyable to set up a sunshine-y tropical jungle environment using items on hand.
