Friday Challenge Feb 6, 2009

Feb 6's Friday Challenge is :Black History


Please come by our blog next weekend to see the creations inspired by Black History Month.

Celebrate Black History
Black history and culture is such a part of the American fabric -- and the school curriculum -- that it's difficult to imagine a time when that wasn't so. Established as Negro History Week in the 1920's by Carter G. Woodson, February was chosen for the celebration because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln were born in this month. Extended to a month-long celebration in 1976, Black History Month is an opportunity to emphasize the history and achievements of African Americans.

Friday Challenge Jan 23 Creations

The Poppies decided to do something new and inspiring in 2009 and that is to hold Friday Challenges. Each Friday we will receive a word, phrase, picture or idea and we have a week to create something using that theme. The next Friday we will post the finished items in here for YOU to see and let you know about the next week's challenge.

Some of the finished items will be for sell in our own poppy shoppes, on eBay (Search for LPSX) and maybe even on Etsy.

As you can see one of our generous Poppies is holding a drawing for her finished challenge and a great piece of artwork it is. Make sure to go and post a comment to get your name i for the drawing!

So here are Jan 23 creations for your viewing pleasure.
