Some time ago I invited members to volunteer as hosts for the challenge. I received quite a few replies which I converted into a list which I then managed to accidentally delete from my computer. I apologise for that. I guarantee I won't lose a second list of names so if you would like to showcase your fabulous art on the challenge please let me know.
I have become a bit disorganised, leading a busy life away from the blog, dealing with family matters and being an on-call Grandma at all hours of the day and night and my commenting is not always as prompt as it should be. For that I apologise!! I promise to do better.
Sooooo, let's start with a new slate in the New Year. I can't thank you all enough for making Take a Word a wonderful challenge with superb artwork every week. Without you all we wouldn't have a challenge.
If you are still interested in hosting, contact me via my email address which is on the right hand side bar of this blog. I will enter the names on my brand new 2012 calendar as they arrive.
Cheers from Marie, aka Ozstuff, aka (maybe) The Slacker.

Dear Marie, I know exactly how busy life can get, and as you've probably noticed that's what has happened to me too, lol. I've always Loved your challenges and the challenge over at you and the two other muses as well. but haven't been able to join in for quite some time, so just like you I'm hoping for a more organized life next year and time for my favourite hobby, Art and blogging :) Take care dear Marie and I hope to see you next year!! Wish you and yours the best Christmas ever!!!

I'll bet that we ALL understand how busy daily live can be and that the focus always lies with our family and dear onces.
