NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS

NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS It is with sadness we have decided to close the Take-a-Word challenge. Since Marie's passing nine months ago, we have continued to administer the three challenges (Take-a-Word, Three Muses, and Digitalmania), but we have a need to lessen the load a bit. We ask that our loyal followers here at Take-a-Word continue to share your talents at Three Muses or Digitalmania (which is a Flickr site). We are immensely grateful for your participation for the past ten years or so, and hope to see you there. The bee challenge will be the final challenge for Take-a-Word. Ann and Bev

Sad News

We're sorry to report that Ann's mother is gravely ill and the family has been told the end is near.  As we come together with our families for our holiday,  I'm sure we will all send prayers and thoughts to Ann's family in their sad time.   We know you will understand her absence for a time.   Thank you all for your kind support.

Ann is also known as Taluula and is, of course, one of the Three Muses and also a great supporter of Take a Word.

    Just caught up with the sad news on Christmas Day here in NZ, my thoughts and prayers are with Ann & her family. Hard to believe It is a year since Ann, husband & Mum were here in NZ and I was able to meet up with Ann on her travels.
