Submissions for FQGGCB #5 Grocery Aisles 2, 4, and/or 6 projects from August 28- September 13, 2024

(sorry for the delay in a working Mister Widget link. On Sept 1st without any notice to me, the company did a pricing/option change which put what I had been doing into another price bracket. So one of the two that I can use now will sit in the left corner. Also I need to keep to my deadline day but I will give more hours that day to partly compensate. If all else fails, post a comment with your blog link. And the delay of the week is due to my mom dying on Aug 31 and her services on Sept 5 & 6. It's been tough so please just bear with me during this transition.)
