Here's the rules:
1) 100 words or 1 graphic for each letter of the alphabet.

It's that easy.

Like the Numbers challenge, if you are stuck or would like a random word to use, poke me and I will provide.

Well it isn't much...but my brain is mush from grant writing stuff today, so other than 30 minutes before work, my 30 minute lunch, and 30 minutes tonight, its about all my brain can handle.

it might be the sort of thing that will become clearer as I write too.

Dreamy and shanachie_quill I guess are both up for tomorrow...so duke it out for dominance.
