Approved submission
I would like to officially apply for PEP2!  It's taken much longer than I thought due to about a million distractions. I keep learning new skills that I might have poo-pood in the past.  It has been a delightful journey and I'm glad I made it to the top of this mountain.  Thanks to everyone who's been certifying BBs and helping run the SKIP program - we couldn't do it without you!!!  

Please note that we have nice signatures badge icons that expand when you click on them (at the bottom of my post).  I also attached it as an image just in case.

Requirements:
1 Wood badge:   Oddball (I overdid it and got an iron badge in this aspect)
7 Straw badges: Tool Care, Food Prep, Gardening, Community, Plumbing, Foraging, and Homesteading (I overdid it and got a Wood badge in Homesteading)
14 Sand Badges: Roundwood wood working, Animal Care, Woodland care, Nat medicine, Dimensional woodworking, Nat building, Electricity, Metalworking, Nest, Textiles, Rocket, Willow feeders, Earthworks, and Commerce

100 BBVs: I have certified 2114 BBVs so far

I've been wanting to create a wood-burned sign with this design. I feel like it would be cool for us to have one, each, as we hit these big ranks.

Something must be done about this. Let's start by reading this tiny ad:
