Love how these last ones are all related to 2020!

These are great prompts! Good luck :)

Cool! I still need to work through this, only got about half way.

PopSugar is an actual challenge with new prompts every year, I just googled it last year. Wonder what this year's one will be like! I'll probably keep working on this, then start the new version towards the end of the year! 😅

Good luck with this! :D
