• Middle Row Left: Advisor Eileen Mikielian put together an event with a challenge in mind — reintroduce a Project Recipe™, but with a twist. The challenge was to make a Project Recipe™ with products other than the original collection the Project Recipe™ was created for. So for example, using the Polar Lights instructions with Golden Harvest products!
