posting early so I can relax tonight!

Grab your glitter, your photos, and your best “Vitameatavegamin” smile — because February is all about celebrating friendship, laughter, and a little lovable chaos… Lucy-style!

From chocolate-covered memories to heart-warming hijinks, we want to see pages that sparkle with humor, nostalgia, and classic sitcom charm. Whether you’re scrapbooking romance, mishaps, or moments that made you say, “Lucy, you’ve got some scrap-pin’ to do!” — this month it's all about having fun while you create.

So dust off those vintage vibes, channel your inner red-headed troublemaker, and let your creativity run wild (just… maybe not as wild as a conveyor belt full of truffles). Because around here, we don’t just scrapbook . . .

A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

Our challenge today is all about the deep friendship between Lucy and Ethel
Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance were very close friends in real life sharing a deep sister like bond that lasted long passed the show until Vances death in 1979. Neither one could stand the other one depressed and would work and to cheer each other up. Vance felt Ball helped her become a better, less lazy actor, pulling her along while Ball valued her loyalty and affection. Their bond was often described as being like sisters. A true friendship that lasted years after the show.

Challenge: Create a layout representing a friendship bond, add some inking, flowers and enamel dots.
