Hello everybody! Well, I didn't get my wish of a more concrete topic for this month. After a week celebrating International Women's Day, the main topic of the month was the International Day of Happiness. To be honest, I find Happiness as a topic not very dissimilar to the 'Things I Love' prompt from last month, but I have tried my best to differentiate my blocks. I made 7 blocks in total for this month. Week 9 was freestyle blocks for International Women's Day, and I made two blocks for this prompt. The first block needs some explaining. This block is in honour of my great-grandmother, born Margaret Reid Shackleton. This woman taught Geography at Cambridge University, so the mountains in the block represent her subject. She published her book 'Europe - A Regional Geography' in 1934. She continued to teach after marrying my great-grandfather, FG Mann, and indeed after having her two daughters. I think she is a pretty cool, trail-blazing woman to commemorate...
