Challenge Requirements:

1. Include this week's Inspiration Item, anywhere in the first 3 rows (NOT as an alternate in the fourth row).
2. Do NOT include any of your own items, or more than one item from the same shop.
3. In addition to the Inspiration Item, your treasury must contain at least 4 items that are related to Alpacas, camelids, fiber, fiber arts, or are from 1000 Things Alpaca Team members.

For a list of team members, click here.
4. While the challenge lasts, be sure to change out any items that disappear from your Treasury! But... Do NOT replace the Inspiration Item if it sells!!
