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

Take a Word Challenge - 'Tis the Season


What does Christmas mean to me?  The usual things, of course.  Catching up with family members, celebrating the true Christmas meaning and, of course, enjoying the typical Christmas dinner.  Christmas also means hot weather which causes a certain amount of crankiness!!  Some people cling to the old traditions but here in my part of the world times are changing and the celebration is likely to be a picnic by the river or at the beach (if not too hot) or a barbecue in the backyard.  For most people a swim in the ocean or the pool is a "must do".
Christmas and Hanukkah greetings from Ann, Bev and Marie.  We hope it is peaceful and happy.

  6. Great peek at an Aussie Christms, Marie! I spent 4 1/2 years in Miami, Florida, going to the beach on Christmas Day, etc., but I longed for the change of seasons and crisp winter air. I guess we're all creatures of habit!
