The final two letters in the challenge are X and I. There is not a lot to choose from for the letter X and I have my husband to thank for coming up with the word xenogamy - a word I'd never heard before and probably one that I'm unlikely to slip into every day conversation! The flowers on my atc were stamped onto tissue paper, coloured on the reverse before sticking to my Fresco painted grey board. The little bee that was a freebie with an order from Crafty Individuals was yet another unused stamp in my collection. :-)

For my very last atc of the year I chose the word "Inspire" and a made a little homage to The Craft Barn in recognition of the inspiration they have given me over the years not only with their blog but also the fabulous Extravaganza weekends. I once again used a previously uninked stamp from my collection - the word inspire is part of a Crafty Individuals stamp and I masked off the words I didn't need before stamping it.

Beautiful flowers and background. I really like your idea for inspire.
2 lovely pages! Credit to your husband for finding an interesting X word. Unused rubber stamp... do I hear a New Year resolution? Yep me too!!!
Great last two ATCs! Not only has this been a great challenge for inspiration but educational too. I now know what xenogeny means!! Happy New Year.
Xenogamy, who would have thought of that?! Congratulations on continuing the Challenge, in spite of the awful year you have had. I love these last two ATCs. They have certainly 'inspired' me!
Well done that man for coming up with a word I'd not heard of before!! I know full well what cross pollination is but had never heard of xenogamy! Love your ATC and there is plenty of pollen on those flowers for the gorgeous little bees to collect.
A beautiful ATC to end the challenge with, I wish Craft Barn would make a stamp of their owl logo!
Congratulations Maggie on completing the challenge through your most difficult year and hope 2014 is a much quieter, less fraught one for you and your DH.
Hugs

Happy New Year

Well done Maggie, I see your "I" has been featured on the Craft Barn blog.
Maybe I will join in this year - who knows!
Visiting from The Craft Barn - yur ATC's are fabulous. The tribute to the craft barn crew is inspired for sure :o)
Two beautiful ATCs and congrats on being on the Wall of Fame. I have to say crafting for this challenge helped me deal with some of the events going on in my life and took me to a happy place too. See you at the new challenge.
