Welcome to the challenge, Mave! Love your selections.

[Shadow Jubilee]

Darn. I gave myself 2 years to finish this challenge, and I left unfinished: 2 N's, 1 Q, 1 U, 1 X, 1 Y, and 1 E.

I think I'll extend the time and give myself another year since it seems a shame to not finish it when I've gotten this far...

[Jane]

I would like to try this.
