A wonderful idea was hatched several years back to offer an Arts and Sciences challenge for the 50th anniversary of the SCA.  I jumped in when this was announced and now that we are quickly approaching the 50th year I need to tabulate what I have done for these challenges.  This page will serve as that running list.  I can’t say I’ve been great at keeping up with these although this was before social media and being better about keeping pictures.  To the extent that I can I will do separate posts for these items with pictures and other information- some I have to chase down because the projects were made and flew the coop before I got any pictures!

I did two challenges-

50 things from my stash- knowing that I needed stash busting!  &

50 things to Learn and Teach- being what I value most in the society and why I joined in the first place!
