A to Z Challenge

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

It's that easy.
And perk – It’s the alphabet you know what’s coming if you want to get ahead of it. There is no need for your work to all connect. There is no need for them to be in order.

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


Now everyone give me an

Monday turns into Wednesday again!

It's my turn for the Monday post, and once again things got out of hand and I didn't get to it yet!

Excuse my lateness, and that I haven't done the monthly count for April yet either. I will get to that too, but it may take a bit of working out as I'm off on a road trip on Friday and this week has been a bit screwy with weather warnings and illness again.

Anyway, what are your plans for being awesome this week?

To help you out, we have the usual prompts and challenges - scroll back through this past week's entries or check out the tags for our regular entries, as there's bound to be something to get your creative juices flowing!

Don't forget our current long challenge either! It's a drabble/icon challenge and there are daily prompts to inspire you for either drabbles or icons or both! It runs till the end of May so you still have time to get on board!

Your flash challenge for today is: wild weather. Do what you will with it, and link us here if you can! I will be grateful for any words you can add to the count from it!

If you're part of our Big Buddy challenge, you should be around the 32% mark. Let us know how you're going, and don't be afraid to ask for help or encouragement!

I think that's it! Let's be creative out there! ;-)
