Well, here it is at last, the end post of this year's A-Z Challenge. Thanks so much for tuning in this past month to see the pretty flowers and the beautiful drawings and poems of The Flower Fairy Alphabet by Cicely Mary Barker.
During the month of April, I am participating in the
"Blogging From A-Z April 2012 Challenge", where we post everyday during the month of April (except for Sundays). Daily posts begin with the next letter of the alphabet. This is my third year of participating in the challenge. "CLICK HERE" to find out more.
This year, I have chosen to do a study on poet and artist, Cicely Mary Barker. I am featuring her book "A Flower Fairy Alphabet". Not only will you learn about pretty flowers, but I will also be giving you a few fun facts about Ms. Barker each day.
