Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S who has been done craft blogging since about 2010. I got started with swapping paper-crafted items through a craft hobby store's website message board. Then someone in the group mentioned trying Blogger and that has led to me still being involved in blogging for 16+ years!
why: FQHCB or FarmQuest Home Challenge Blog has been around for almost 1 year! It was a do-over/makeover for FarmQuest HomeStyle Kitchen. Now, any room of the house or typical items found outside of a home can be submitted. Anything Home Goes theme.
when: FQHCB #11 begins August 2 and continues until September 20, 2026.
what: Project #1: housing exterior focus = front door
