The design team crew has done their stash quests and prepared these farm-tastic projects: 

DT/owner Becca S=

I chose to focus on the "busy as a bee" part of the quote. 

AND

DT Nana Connie= 

Nana Connie chose to use a postcard souvenir from a vacation trip visit at MV plus a portrait image of First Lady Martha Washington for her #46 project.

Lots of visual clues/topics within Mrs. Washington's quote to connect with past or current country farmhouse charm. 

With all the format options that are accepted at FQCB, it will be very interesting to see how our readers interpret the quote. Happy crafting!
