Hello all!
Our member Glow-worm (
glowworm) had been coming up with fun challenges
in the style of the ones that Illuminata (
illuminata) used to post on the prior forum.
Glow-worm set a goal ... suggesting doing 30 fun-silly-inspiring challenges.
Continuing to send love and support to Glow-worm .... and thanks for starting this series of fun challenges!
She (Glow-worm) seems to be offline for now, but we can continue with the challenges.
---------------------
Illuminata posted every day for thirty days in a row -- building up to a target date or event ....
but I haven't been able to do that every day. ... so these "30 fun challenges" are being posted whenever I have the time.
---------------------
List of all the "30 fun creative challenges"(from July-Sept 2008): takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/1710
---------------------
And ... here's the new one (#23)This challenge is inspired by Illuminata's challenges from the old board.
Here's how this challenge works: Someone will give you a new word periodically, until we've done 30 threads.
Your challenge is to find something in or around your home that is related to that word, that needs to be picked up, organized, cleaned, thrown out, or otherwise desqualored.
Here are the rules:
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us.
You are not required to complete every challenge to participate; feel free to pop in and out depending on your schedule.
If you decide not to participate, you are welcome to join in the thread to cheer others on.
