31 Days Writing Challenge

I learned about the 31 Days Writing Challenge from my friend, Lori Anderson's blog, "Pretty Things."  The most challenging part of this blog will be to focus on only one topic for the entire month.  The topics from which you can choose are broad enough to encompass many different things.  The challenge will be to write every day and post everyday. 

The topic I've chosen is:: Too Awesome to Categorize!  Think that will be fun  and make me think about all the things I encounter that really are Too Awesome!  I'm looking forward to this challenge. 

It's not to late to join.  If you click

HERE

You'll go to the homepage of the writing challenge.  Next step is to pick a topic.  Next step, sign up!  Then get ready for the fun!  There's a link up for each topic.  It's easy.  It's fun.  I think you'll enjoy.  I hope to see you there.

Here are is the list of topics from which you can choose::

House and Home
Simplicity and Organizing
Family Life
Inspiration and Faith
Writing and Blogging and Internet Stuff
Fashion and Beauty
Food Health and Wellness
Personal Endeavors
Too Awesome to Classify

Hope to see you there!

Well, there were two winners for this blog give away, and I need for them to contact me, please. If for some reason the link doesn't link, contact me either on Etsy or post on this blog. I need to get your snail mail address.

There were two prizes. One is the pint jar full of nubs and the other prize is a bead made from nubs. See the photo below the nubs.













Moon Katty Studios was the first to post, so you will get first choice as to whether you would like the nubs or the bead. Let me know in your reply. Congratulations and thank you for entering!



The second place winner is:

Thank you for entering! I have more nubs if you would like them rather than the bead. Just let me know, Lori!
