In consideration of holiday shoppers, holiday decorators, holiday bakers, Santa helpers, caroling-carolers, party-goers, party-givers, present-wrappers, eggnog-drinkers, eggnog-makers, and overall-exhausted bloggers everywhere, this week's 2 Thing Challenge is Sweet and Star. Hopefully that won't be too taxing while you have so much else going on.
This challenge ends on Sunday December 23rd, 2007. Remember anyone can join, just post your entries on your blog and leave us a comment here.
P.S. Because it is for charity, we are allowing entries for last week's challenge, Hold / Value, until December 19th.
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?
This weeks 2 thing challenge is Hold and Value.

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.
This weeks 2 thing challenge is Colourful (or Colorful) and Words.

I broke ranks and have given you a pair that aren't opposite, don't begin with the same letter, and don't even rhyme. Instead, I chose a phrase and broke it into two. Lately I've noticed how although we are all English speakers, sometimes there remains a gap. It's kind of funny we still have to "translate" sometimes!
Bobbie's Internet is down, so I'll take the 2 Things torch this week. This week's challenge is Forsaken and Foundling.

P.S. How did I come up with these words? I was thinking about how Mom (aka Great Grannie, aka Bobbie) has kept the 2 Things Challenge going, and without her it might have been abandoned. Thus forsaken. Once I thought of forsaken, I wanted a similar word but one that could be interpreted more positively. I'm sure I was also still thinking about the beauty of Lisa's found collage in New Zealand, the wonders at Bev's local Thrift Shop in the UK, and of course anything by Neda in Texas who for a lifetime has made art from found items. So, you have it, a peek into the way a mind works and how your blog posts stick with me.
