How Trakking is Being Done

Thank you for the welcome as an official member. The hazing wasn't too bad. I'm also excited to be the trakker, as I am a nerd and like this sort of thing. So galzz, here's what's up the trakking. Thanks to Microsoft Excel I have created a trakking system and even have a binder to put it in. I am trakking:
1. Submissions : When you post something for critique, it gets logged in my system

2. Weekly Check-Ins: Simply trakking the weekly check-ins. They will be logged in the month that the week ends.

3. Critiques: I am trakking critiques on each project. January critiques have been completed. This information will vary when it is posted. If a project is put in the thread at the end of this month, you'll still have some time in March to critique. I am following the 7 to 10 day rule from the group guidelines. In January, there was some leniency though. I will post how many done/how many possible. The second number varies per person because they do not critique their own stuff. Also, there are a few "exceptions" in this. For example: Lisa posted 10 layouts at once and asked for two to be critiqued. If you only critiqued two, you get credit for those, but will NOT be logged as not completing some as she only asked for two. BUT if you critiqued all of them, you will get that credit for those as you did take the time to do it. If I post that you did not critique everything, you are more than welcome to PM me to find out what project it was. I may have missed your name when going through the comments and please let me know if that happened.

4. BWC's Completed These are optional, but are being logged for tie breaking purposes.If a project is due in March, but you complete in February, you will get the submission credit in February, but the Completed Challenge credit in March, since this is how my system is designed.

5. QOW's Answered Also totally optional, but might be needed for tiebreaking purposes. I will also be logging these in the month the next question gets posted.

I will be posting trakking info under the Misc. Section of our group blog. Please let me know if that causes an issue for you. If anyone has any question on any of this, please feel free to shoot me a pm.

Quezztion of the Week, 2/10/08

This is a multi-layered QOW. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? Does it vary depending on the day? If so, explain. How about the last thing you think when you go to sleep? Discuss...

OK, now for Bi-Weekly Challenge #3 - Crunching Numbers:
In honor of tax time, this weeks challenge is to make a LO completely based on a number. It could be an age, a special date, or even the house number of your childhood home. Be creative and see what you can come up with.

Question of the Week

If you could "undo" one thing that you did, what would it be?

Quezztion of the Week

Lunar New Year falls on February 7 this year. What is your Chinese Zodiac sign? What are its characteristics? How well do they describe you?

BWC #2 - Cardstock, Cardstock, Cardstock

Here are the responses to Biweekly Challenge #1, "Sew Much, Sew Little":

My Mother by Miss Becky

Warm Wishes Card by Blushpea

Thank you for participating!

Biweekly Challenge #2: Cardstock, Cardstock, Cardstock!

My challenge is to not use any patterned paper, only cardstock. Create your own patterns using stamps, or tearing or embossing or any other technique with your cardstock. You can use other embellishment items, but the focus should be on a cardstock technique.

Good luck ladies!

Question of the Week

Okie doke. My CRS proved to be true, 2 days late. BUT no one had reminded me yet! That's good news.

Anywho.. in honor of my birthday this week... my question for you is:

What is your favorite birthday memory?

It can be from your childhood, recently, and anywhere in between.
