I am surprised to see this in archives since Winter isn't over yet! Though with a blizzard earlier this week and snow in the forecast for tomorrow, I dearly wish for Spring.
Isn't it a little soon to move this to the archives ... the challenge deadline hasn't even arrived yet.

It's in the 90's here in Phoenix. Winter is definitely over, probably Spring as well :)
is there going to be a spring challenge posted?
I guess we're done with the winter challenge! I managed to finish four per category. Yay!It was fun and I like the idea of a spring one too.
Just finished on 3/23. See msg 34. Great challenge
