Christmas in July card Rejoice Jesus Is Born non dt project on 2 July 2026

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

Who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artsy-craftsy, mish-mesh mix it up creative thinker living with my husband of 30+ years and our rescued little dog Mister Bennett. We think Mr. B is either 15 or 16. The family thinks he was in his mom's 2nd or 3rd litter, yet she's only 1 or 2 years older according to them. So I think she was a puppy herself when she started becoming a mom. We've just recently celebrated his 6th 'gotcha' day. 

Where: this is a non-design team related project; just for fun; just for me

Why: This will be linked to Christmas in July special challenges and/or Christmas challenges during July.
