QueZZtion of the Week: September 14

I've been in a scrapbooking "lull" the past few months... just no desire to scrap (believe it or not). Has this ever happened to you? How did you get out of it?

QueZZtion of the Week - Sept. 7, 2008

Okay this one comes from our fabulous pledge Chris:

We play music in the hallways of our elementary school every day and that got me thinking, what is your favorite type of music, and why is it? On the flipside, what type of music do you absolutely abhor?

Sounds like a fun one, everyone! Dig in. :)

QueZZtion of the Week - August 31

All right gals... Fall is my favorite season and it is just about upon us all. What is your FAVORITE thing about the fall? Wearing sweatshirts, college football, the leaves changing color... the list goes on!

BWC #18 - "The Big B Bonanza"

First, lemme acknowledge these BWC responses to BWC 17, "A Good Sport"!

Sharon's "After Christmas Fun (left side)"
Sharon's "After Christmas Fun (right side)"

Marlene's "Endless Energy," which is also a response to the Paper Ruffle Challenge.

Great work! Please check these out if you haven't already.

NOW... inspired by Tiffany's recent multi-level BWC, I'd like to return to one of those scavenger-hunt-type challenges similar to my 1st SHCG WC, "Stashoffont" (dated 7/3/07). This week I present the Big B Challenge ! I challenge you to include in your LO all of the following:

- A color that begins w/ "B";
- A BUNCH of pics (at least 3 for 1 page, 6 for a 2 pager);
- An embellishment or technique that begins w/ "B";
- Bulleted journaling.

Note plurals of the above are certainly accepted (e.g. using brown AND blue, brads AND burnt edges, etc); I don't want to imply from the above wording that I only want ONE of each...the more the merrier!

Also note that most aspects of this BWC came up when I was playin' around with the "Random Challenge Generator;" the link to this appears handily dandily in the right side of the blog!

Your deadline is 2 weeks, 11:59PM on 9/13/08 to be exact. It's also been a while since I gave a prize so I will be posting a poll of the responses, the winner of which will receive this Ally Scraps Grab Bag. I've ordered this previously for myself & it rocked, it's not castoff rejected stuff, they give you some very cool supplies (I used one of the pps I got in my "i'm NEW here" LO to give you an idea...) & it's so fun to get! Of course, as w/ any of our BWCs, you can post after the deadline but you won't be eligible for the prize.

Hope you Babezz have a Bodacious Blast Bringing it for this Big B Bash! Can't wait to see what y'all come up with. :o)

QueZZtion of the Week 8/24/08

My queZZtion this week might be a little self-serving. I totally have school on the brain, and it seems some of you do, as well. Some examples, Christy is the mom of a college freshman, Chris will be the teacher of a fifth-grade classroom, I am sure Marlene's boys are getting ready to start, too.

I'd like you to think back and try to remember your favorite teacher of all time. What was your teacher's name? What grade level did they teach? What made them so special? Do you have one memory of them that stands out above others? Have you ever contacted them to tell them how you feel?

School's back in session, babiezz.

BWC: In honor of the olympics, create a layout that has to do with sports. The sport can be one you participated in during your school years, one you watch now as a fan, one your kids participate in, anything related to sports and physical activity.

Have fun! And, Michael Phelps ROCKS! Go Swimming!
