Yay....way to go Katrina! I'm so glad you decided to join this challenge too. I purposely kept it open-ended because no matter if it takes 2 weeks or 2 years to finish, you can't fail!!
Good luck and I'll be sure and link you
Wow fantastic looking challenge! I read alot of short stories but never joined any challenges because I tend to do bad with time restraints (lol)
