First let me thank Brenda for the inspiring Inchie challenge! Definately a cool, fun challenge.
Both Brenda (Twinscrapperbee)
and Sharon (Blushpea)
answered this challenge!
Ok ladies. I do believe that most, if not all of us are chocolate lovers. I adore Dove chocolate!
For those of you who also love those little bite size portions of pure heaven, you know that inside the wrappers there are little phrases like:
"Smile before bed, you'll sleep better"
"Make your eyes twinkle"
"Laugh uncontrollably...it clears the mind"
"Smile, people will wonder what you're up to"
"Smile at yourself in the mirror"
Use a Dove phrase in a LO. If in fact you love chocolate then I suggest you grab a bag of these bite size morsels yourself and find a phrase you would like to use. If you dont like chocolate or dont want to ruin a diet (everyone needs a splurge now & then though) then use one of the phrases I listed above. If you dont like any of the phrases above, let me know, I need a reason to go get another bag and I'll find more suggestions for you! hehehe, Thats how I sacrafice for my girlzz!

QueZZtion of the Week, 05/11/08
OK I'm up next since I couldn't wait to share my Led Zeppelin fantasy in my last QOW responses, LOL...
What would you say you cared the most about exactly a year ago, and how does it compare/contrast to what you care about these days?

Interim TRAKking for March & April '08
I posted this in our main chat thread but wanted to post it here for easy finding/reference. NOTE: DON'T FORGET: BRENDA'S INCHIE BWC & JESSE QOW ARE RIGHT UNDER THIS POST! So don't let this big ol' blog entry of mine distract from them, check 'em out!!
SO I've been doing some interim tRAKking for March/April & it's been a great resource for me to note participation. Mind you, it doesn't hold a candle to QueenMel's precise, detailed & helpful tRAKking (not to mention her ultra-cool tRAKking of optional BWC & QOW responses) but since she's on hiatus (temporarily, I hope) this is just a snapshot that's been tiding me over, so maybe you'd benefit from seeing it to. Before I post this, a note to our beloved QueenMel: I hope you realize I am NOT trying to step on your toes by doing this, I was only doing this for my own benefit & thought I'd share. I miss you terribly (not just your tRAKking, YOU!). Please let us know you're OK when/if you can.
OK some explanations - well, as you all know, there are 3 guidelines to being in this group - posting 2 scrafty projects a month (hey we're a critique group, we gotta have stuff to critique!), critiquing others' works & checking in weekly. I didn't track everyone's critiques of works but chose a random one from late March (my "Egg's Nest/B&B" LO posted on 3/31, smackdab in the middle of the March/April period), as everyone gets 7-10 days to critique a LO & that gives people an ample grace period to do so. For myself, I used Christy's Christmas 2007 LO, posted 4/5. Not very scientific but since I didn't track LO critiques from inception the way QueenMel did, that was the best I could do. AND I didn't track weekly posts, I only posted everyone last post if it was in April, & then spelled out May (because that's technically outside of the tRAKed period of March/April, but shows you are super up-to-date on posts)!
That'll do until QueenMel's return... I hope we don't have to deal w/ this but if she doesn't return, we'll revisit the RAK part of the tRAKking. I just can't deal w/ that right now but want to add some incentive eventually if... Also, Jess is included on this, because she was a member during March/April (& because I'm in a bit of denial that she's leaving!). OK without further ado...

Posting this for our fabby pledge, Jesse!
You can suddenly be a celebrity... what do you want to be famous for & why? Would you want to be an Oscar-winning actress or start your own scrapbooking line that is highly sought-after? Silly OR serious answers welcome; silly AND serious answers encouraged!
Sounds like a fun one! Have at it, grrlzz!

BWC #9: Inchies!
Before we inch along to the next challenge, don't forget to see how Sharon and I measured up to her own previous challenge.
BWC # 8 - Movie Quotes
And now...
And now...
Inchies are 1"x1" squares that are sort of like ATC offspring. These are totally doable and the possibilities are absolutely endless. My idea to help get the creative wheels turning again is to challenge you to create an inchie (or a few) inspired by one of your los or scrafty projects. Do you still have scraps from one of your pieces, poor quality photo prints, old stickers, leftover alphas, or unused packs of embellies? Use them on an inchie. Share your mini-masterpieces. Beware, the inch-worm can be contagious!

How do you store your

I'm a day late, sorry gals!
Now I know all of you are darned near perfect, BUT:
Name one, non physical item you would change about yourself. I'm not talking plastic surgery here, I'm talking self improvement. If you are perfect, tell us why you think you are!
