Of course everyone is invited to participate in BWC 5, listed below.

(Also, when posting challenges, please remember to acknowledge the challenge responses that have been posted since the last challenge was posted - t'anks!).

BWC #5: Things to do...

Hey y'all! I may not have been around, but this challenge has been rattling around in my mind for a while.

Your challenge: Make a list of the things that you want to do in the coming year or a list of things that you have done in the past year. Here is the catch....

It should correspond to your age.

Two examples:
One option: 36 things I want to do before I turn 37.
Another option: 36 things (to quote Andrea, here) "lovely little (and big) things that snuck up on me from behind and took me completely by surprise. things I never expected to happen, things I had no way of knowing I'd do in the course of a year. these are the things I never really saw coming."

I first saw this idea by Andrea, that she repeats each year, on her hulagirl blog. Then, I saw that Elsie did this variation in August of last year. Finally, Ali did this challenge in January.

Question of the Week

Since I answered first, it must be my turn!! (and I actually remembered, and it's sunday.)

Ok here it is:
What are you quirks? Everyone has them, what are yours??

Webster's dictionary puts it so simply: "A peculiarity, peculiar trait, or mannerism."

Patter's definition: "Those things that you have to have ‘just so' or it drives you nuts."

So, what are you quirks???

QueZZtion of the Week, 2/24/08

Goin' light & random on ya this week - name some of your favorite smells!

QueZZtion of the Week, 02/17/08

This week's question comes from one of our pledgezz Amanda/kittyblevins:

"Going with this week's Valentines theme. my question is 2 parts. What is the BEST and WORST dates you have ever been on?"

Enjoy!

BWC #4: How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways...

Yes, you read it right. With Valentine's Day just a few days past, you probably expected this challenge to be a Valentine lo of your significant other. Well, you're half right, but I'm sure you have plenty of those los that list all the things you love and appreciate about your sweetie. This year, you are going to take a break from focusing on your flaws, and create a Valentine lo (or any other scrafty project) dedicated to yourself. It's time for some self-lovin' ladiezz! List all the things you love about yourself. Can you find 14?! Don't hesitate to showcase those special qualities you have that you believe go unrecognized by most.

There are a few more rules for this challenge: 1) "love" must appear on your work, 2) at least one heart must also appear on your work, 3) you must only use materials you have on hand, and 4) members who participated in the birthday swap within the past year must use an item they received in their birthday stash; while members who did not participate must use an item they received as gifts/raks.

Uploads for critique are due Sunday, March 2. Please feel free to share other Valentine los, as well. I hope you find this challenge empowering. Share the love.
