We are happy to return and always enjoy seeing your projects. Nat and I have worked hard creating our own projects for le challenge each month and while we plan to continue there have been personal changes and we both have lots of other commitments in our lives. After discussing it we agreed that we will take some of the pressure off ourselves by perhaps not always having our own projects to link up, we hope you understand and will continue to be inspired to take on the challenge!

Le Challenge #22 - WOOD

It's been over two years since the start of le challenge. Nat and I have made projects for every theme during that time and, even if it was a little late, we always make something to show you in the post where you link up your finishes. I'm impressed with us. 

Life can get in the way though and Nat will be skipping this month because she and her littlest have been poorly. She's doing better now and will be back in the game for the next challenge :)

So here's what I made:
