Make a moo or two

No more challenges….

I want to thank Nellie once again for allowing me the opportunity to keep this challenge site alive. However, there aren’t enough people taking part, either because they’re too busy, there are too many challenge sites, or the themes simply aren’t interesting enough.

I know that some people have felt too challenged by the offered themes, but in my mind that is the whole point of an artistic challenge. It’s to stretch the imagination, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to try something we may not have normally tried.

I attempted to come up with challenges with that in mind, and also to come up with themes that hadn’t been done or overdone before. Sadly, it just isn’t enough.

I appreciate (and want to thank) those of you who took part in the few challenges I listed. And though I’ll miss the venue, I won’t miss the stress of trying to come up with a theme that I think everyone will like and take part in. I knew it was a chancy proposition to take this on, but I had to try.

If there is anyone who would like to take over where I’ve left off, I’m sure that Nellie would be more than happy to work out the arrangements with you.

Thanks again to those who stuck it out. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Easter

Since this is a two week challenge and Easter will have passed in that time, I’ve chosen that as our theme. Show us your Easter moo’s, using flowers, bunnies, Easter baskets, however you care to interpret Easter.

This challenge will run until the 29th. Have fun, and see you then.

Vintage Text

Giving it another try. The theme will run for two weeks, April 1-15. Have fun.

No new theme this week….

Robots and Rocket Ships Sampler

Thank you to Angela for taking part. I’m disappointed that no one else did. I thought it would be a fun challenge.

Donelda also took part (just a bit late) so I’m adding one of her moo’s to the sampler. Thanks Donelda!

Robots and Rocket Ships

carolew — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:34:04 +0000

Our theme for this week is Robots and Rocket Ships. Let’s take a trip into space. This theme could be done steampunk style, or any number of ways (think Jetson’s, Lost in Space, Jules Verne).

Beep boop (have fun!)

This challenge will run for two weeks – March 4-18.

School Days Sampler

School Days

carolew — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:23:11 +0000

This week the theme/prompt is school days. Show us your school day memories!

Also, if you would, when you leave your link, please let me know whether you prefer this challenge being on a two week basis, or if you’d like it to go back to being weekly.

Have fun! Let’s spread the word and get more people participating!

Romance Sampler

carolew — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:06:01 +0000

Thank you to all who took part this past week. Let’s spread the word and get even more people playing along!

Isn’t it romantic….

carolew — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:11:02 +0000

With Valentine’s Day looming out there less than two weeks away, romance is the theme for this next go round.

Show us your romantic moo’s, and have fun!

Just a couple of notes…

Since I’m relying on online translators to add the Dutch text, I’ll probably stop doing that soon. I get variations on the translations and don’t want to end up saying the wrong things. lol

Also, I hope that as you all play along, that you’ll come back and visit some of the links that are added later. Some people add in during the second week, and it’s only fair that we look at their wonderful work as well as those who link early on.
