For every blogger who contributes to this week's Two Thing Challenge, Tewkesbury and Debi are each contributing $5 to Tewkesbury's Holiday Party Meme Charity Event. (Tewkesbury also has three other ways for bloggers to join in. If 2 Things isn't your thing, never fear. Check out your other options.)

Remember that we have extended this particular 2 Thing Challenge through Wednesday, December 19th to be included in the donation tally. So, you still have time to contribute to the challenge and break the bank. ;)

UPDATE 2007-12-21 and final tally

Thank you for the 9 entries: Life in the Sunshine, Heavenly Body, Three Hundred & Sixty Five, Debi Cates Photo A Day, D.C. Confidential, Diane Clancy Art Blog, Great Grannie's Blog,
Arizona Mama's Musings, A Carpet Full of Holes

That makes 90 bucks for charity! Hope I didn't miss anyone. Thank you each and everyone for your participation, especially those that had to scrabble to make it at this time of year. We appreciate everyone. Happy Holidays!

(We haven't heard back yet from our designated charity-chooser, but we'll find a good charity regardless and I'm sure Tewkesbury will update us on her blog .)

A Twist and An Extended Deadline

I just received an email from the blog author of The Chronicles of Tewkesbury, and I am blown away by the idea she has concocted.

Be sure to do your post for this week's 2 Thing Challenge and by your doing so the Chronicler of Tewkesbury is going to reach into her pocket and give $5 to charity. How cool and in the spirit of the season is that?

Want to know even more?

• Read The Chronicle of Tewkesbury's post with the four possible ways to participate, and this subsequent post about the $5 idea.
  
• This courageous blogger, Toddler Planet, gets to chose the charity.
• I (Debi) will also match Tewkesbury's donation that comes from every 2 Thing Challenge post this week.
  

I know you regular 2 Thing'ers are going to love this. And for those of you who have considered it, but have yet to jump in, now's the time. Remember it doesn't have to be a photograph. It can be a poem, a drawing, a painting, a collage, a textile, a song, anything you can think or dream up and post on your blog. Let's be the change we'd like to see in the world. Or, another way to say it, let's be holders of real value.

P.S. Feel free to pass on the word on your blog. The extended deadline is Wednesday December 19th.

Hold / Value

This weeks 2 thing challenge is Hold and Value.

This challenge ends on Sunday December 16th, 2007. Remember anyone can join, just post your entries on your blog and leave us a comment here.

I chose the first word at random -- just let my mind wander a bit. Once I came up with "value" I liked it a lot because of all its possible meanings you could interpret. Then I wanted a somewhat complimentary word and it crossed my mind that "hold," like "value," had lots of meanings. And like everyone here I'm sure, I like the phrase "hold value." But, of course, you can interpret them as two separate entities. Indeed, the most important thing to remember is do what you like to fulfill this 2 Thing challenge.

P.S. Beginning this week I'll start updating with thumbnails of the various past entries, first finishing last week's, and then beyond. And while at it, I'll see about adding the subscribe via email widget that Lisa requested.
