text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As mentioned in the Sneak Peek, we are creating "Moos" this week.&amp;nbsp; I have dragged&amp;nbsp; some samples from my folders to give "New to the Moo" artists an idea of what the Moo is all about.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes, at first it IS a challenge to fit all you want to fit on a small, narrow&amp;nbsp;template but the result is rewarding.&amp;nbsp; Imagine having your own stash of elegant gift tags!!&amp;nbsp; The theme is MOO/VINTAGE but you are welcome to design your Moos in any style that&amp;nbsp;suits you.&amp;nbsp; The one rule is that the template measures 1.10 x 2.80 inches (or 2.79 x 7.11mm) approximately.&amp;nbsp; It is OK to use the Blog resizing button to show your Moos in a larger size on your Blog.&amp;nbsp; Don't stop at one.&amp;nbsp; Post two, or three, or four or more (on the one page so that they come through in one posting).&lt;br /&gt;Have fun when you go a-mooing!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2680582047698179513-974405011884744378?l=takeaword.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takeaword.blogspot.com/feeds/974405011884744378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2680582047698179513&amp;postID=974405011884744378&amp;isPopup=true' title='32 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2680582047698179513/posts/default/974405011884744378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2680582047698179513/posts/default/974405011884744378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2012/01/take-word-challenge-try-moo-nothing-to_22.html' title='Take a Word Challenge - Try a Moo (nothing to do with cows!!!)'/><author><name>Ozstuff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06057523110612961307</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m-_28uizdew/SOq5HguMeHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/YPeFDJN3AuM/S220/1cent+stamp.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nS6e77AzhHs/TxoToxwx5xI/AAAAAAAACIU/0wjrfPeBv2o/s72-c/collagesheet.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680582047698179513.post-1122318790989589179</id><published>2012-01-15T13:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T13:55:17.658-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Take a Word Challenge - Fish</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I received quite a few replies which I converted into a list&amp;nbsp;which I&amp;nbsp;then managed to accidentally delete from my computer.&amp;nbsp; I apologise for that.&amp;nbsp; I guarantee I won't lose a second list of names so if you would like to showcase&amp;nbsp;your fabulous art on the challenge please let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have become a bit&amp;nbsp;disorganised, leading a busy life away from the blog,&amp;nbsp; dealing with family matters and being an on-call Grandma at all hours of the day and night&amp;nbsp;and my commenting is not always as prompt as it should be.&amp;nbsp; For that I apologise!!&amp;nbsp; I promise to do better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sooooo, let's start with a new slate in the New Year.&amp;nbsp; I can't thank you all enough for making Take a Word a wonderful challenge with superb artwork every week.&amp;nbsp; Without you all we wouldn't have a challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are still interested in hosting, contact me via my email address which is on the right hand side bar of this blog.&amp;nbsp;
