A Secret Garden

3. In what ways are you UNLIKE the character?

Nature Journal Challenge

2 weeks of good nature journaling, which equals at least 3 entries per week - your reward is a few nature journal supplies (your own good black pen, pencil, white pen, water brush and cardboard paint palette)

another 3 weeks (so 5 weeks in total) of good nature journaling, looking carefully at colours you are painting and looking after your supplies nicely - your reward is a nice mini set of watercolour paints if you want it OR a substitute (such as orange card points) if you prefer the cardboard palette
