Jan (Heartsong47) is our guest hostess for the Tickle challenge this month. And here's her cool challenge! I love it - reading it brought back all sorts of childhood memories for me and I am sure it will do the same for many of us. I always remember as a child, we would go as a family to the lake for the day...my mom would pack a lunch, and the four of us would be off, my mom, dad, brother and I... What fun days...it wasn't the sea, as in my card but to the lake...30 miles away, pretty well every weekend...I enjoyed that so much...As a married mom, the four of us also went to the lake...Myself, and hubby, and daughter and son...we carried on the tradition...and had loads of fun...so that is my theme. A summer picnic, to the lake, mountains, beach, maybe the woods...where ever, just remember to bring a lunch, the day gets long...but watch for those ants.
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION: Create a card with a summer picnic EPEC: Include a picnic basket on your card!
DESTINATION STATION: This week our destination is each other! Once a month, we send our cards to each other! A little payback and reward to the teapotters for always sending their cards to the recipient of the Destination Station.
I have started this new thread in the Teapot Tuesday Extras Forum. If you are participating in the card exchange please go to this thread and follow the instructions.

Thanks for the great challenge, Jan. Enjoying plenty of picnics while away camping. We even had our own personal picnic bench on our pitch, the last site we stayed yet, way better than our not-so-stable folding table.
and I am trying to add a photo from the archives but having trouble. One more go and I give up.
