They’ll be listed right under the April prompts! @Smeddley usually gets them posted by the end of the first day of the month or early on the second.

They are posted now, I was late, it’s usually a good bet it’ll be later in the day when the first is on a weekday, I rarely have myself enough together to get them posted the night before (which I really should do!) :smiley:

I just updated my chicken post with a link to the project post. I am at a craft day, so I took nicer pictures in better light.

And, one of friends asked if she could have one, so I can actually “juggle” the remaining two :laughing:
