If you've got a creative streak and a passion for PEEPS, share it with us.
[Editor's note: The period for entries is over. Soon we'll put together a post with all the entries so you can vote on your favorite.] PEEPS, the famous (or infamous) marshmallow candies, aren't just for eating (or marveling that anyone would eat them) anymore.

When looking at Salem artists too often Fidelia Bridges is overlooked even though she was one of the country's leading watercolorists for many years.
Driving down Essex Street you may have noticed the house that borders the parking lot of the Hawthorne Hotel. For a number of years there was a sign out front stating the Suzannah Flint House. In recent years the name was changed to the Fidelia Bridges House. This no doubt caused some puzzlement if you noticed it. Who were these women and when did they live here?

Eight year old Carlton student hopes to develop a career in art with the help and friendship of Salem based Art Expressions teacher Brittany Bennett.
When Owen Guarino, 8, comes home from a long day of school and begins to work on his art; ideas start to flow, and he travels to another place. "It's like I'm walking on clouds or something," he said. He may only be in the third grade, but Owen's art has taken him to the clouds and rainbows in the sky, the tropics and even the Serengeti. Last weekend, it took him to the Gathering — his teacher's church, for a benefit art show. Guarino explores his art under the guidance of Brittany Bennett, owner and instructor at Art Expressions. Bennett has been teaching Guarino for the past three years. Together, they explore worlds of imagination from Bennett's home.
