If mew've already been to see my outfits, mew'll know how much I love to shop. My second favorite thing to do is gardening. I really love flowers! So, I joined the Garden Guild. I got this official membership badge when I joined.
The first thing I had to do was write an essay on why I wanted to belong to the Garden Guild. I wrote this essay:
"I luf flowers . They are so beautiful and inspurrational. I want to be a memfur because most of my happy, calm times are out in the garden by the flowers. I expect to find lots of furrends in the Garden Guild. My meowmie recently got a Scarlet Milkweed and when it blooms it is gorgeous. I hope I make more furrends wif the same purrsonality as me. Gardening seems to cheer me up when I'm sad. I will haf lots of fun in the Garden Guild."
And then I got this badge:
Of course, I made it to the furrst level when I joined.
Then I mewed the following facts about sunflowers . . .
"Sunflowers have at least 100 seeds in them.
Sunflowers have no scent.
Sunflowers can grow to be up to 6 feet tall!"
And I earned this badge:
Then I made it up to Apprentice Gardener and got this badge:
Of course, I had to mew about daisies, too. After all, they don't call me talkative for nothing! Here's what I had to say. . .
"1. A common plant of the composite family, bearing flowers with colored rays around a yellow disk.
2. Another name for the daisy is Chrysanthemum leucanthemum."
Then I got this badge:
I love to create graphics. So I suggested the Memfur Created Banners page. Then I submitted the following banners for others to use:
By now, I know I made it to the next level! Sure enough, look:
Uncle Midnight and I made a page all about:
You can click on the logo to visit it. As mew can imagine, that earned a lot of points! So I made it to:
Next I mewed all about Roses. Here's what I submitted:
"Roses are an American favourite.
Roses come in many colors and sizes."
And I got this badge:
Here are some great rose links, too! Some I submitted and some Uncle Midnight submitted.
