The next draw will occur sometime in the summer or fall of 2017.

Be sure to join us on Monday, June 5th, to learn what the optional theme for Challenge #50 will be. The June challenge will be our last one before our summer break (more details will follow). Right now though, there are still two weeks left in our current challenge, as this is one of those months with an extra Monday in it, with the optional theme of PRESENT NOT PERFECT.
