MiLadies, My goodness! A whopping 48 participated in this challenge! That's an astonishing number and the largest turnout this blog ring has ever had! With 105 members and one pending her application! What I'd like to do is to let all of you who have subbed to this site that I'd really appreciate it if you decided to also join the blog ring! I see many names and 5 new ones from this challenge session who have subbed to the site, but have not joined the blog ring! Please, if you wish to participate and to have your name linked from this site, JOIN! JOIN! I'm so thankful to all of my Queens who took the time to do this challenge. And I want you other Queens who couldn't to know that I do understand your reasonings as to why this one hit a bit too close to home. As I state over in the Rules of this B/R to the left, I don't expect everyone to participate each and every time, but I do wish you could bring yourselves to join in at least once every couple of months. I will be doing a "purge" of members who have never participated, or who's sites have been closed down or those who have not made an entry in their blogs in 2 months or longer. If you honestly don't want me to purge your name, please let me know the reason your not participating and if you intend to in future challenges. (That is for those members who have NOT participated or who have not blogged in 2 or more months). This was a challenge that seemed to strike a cord with so many of you! I noticed (and I wasn't the only one) that we nearly all advised our younger selves to Love ourselves. Something that doesn't come easy when we are young! Thank you all again for such a wonderful turnout! If anyone has any ideas for the next challenge, please let me know through email or through the new message center that Xanga has established. Hugs! Until the next time, I bow to you all~Kween Posted 8/26/2006 at 12:19 AM |
MiLadies; It would seem that there are a few of you who for one reason or another just could not wait for this challenge to begin! So, in the spirit of good will, I'm going to post the links to a couple of sites that have already posted their challenge. I'm not encouraging you to post now, however if for some reason or another you absolutely cannot post on Wednesday, let me know and I'll put up your link!

MiLadies, I have been thinking and looking and listening for days and days and I finally heard a subject that I think will be wonderful for a writing challenge! I admit, I stole it from a blurb I heard about small segment on the Oprah show! Hey, anywhere I can get inspiration, right? Here is the challenge: Writing a letter to your younger self. What would you say to your younger self? What advice would you give? Would you offer tips for changing a certain situation? This challenge is due NEXT WEDNESDAY, the 23rd of August. The challenge will run for 3 days. So post on the following days, the 23rd, 24th(Thursday) and the 25th (Friday). Follow the instructions given on the left entitled "How this BR works" I'll see you on the 23rd! Hugs~Kween Posted 8/16/2006 at 6:44 PM |
M'Ladies: My, What a turn out we had for MsBeautyExperts idea! Everyone seemed to really love the idea. So, thank you M'Lady, thank you for your lovely idea! You did a fine job of hosting and I invite you back at any time to guest host! I'm so pleased that I saw my name on so many of your blogs! Please notice that I have filled out my left hand custom module with the standard instructions for this blog ring. I thought that it would be easier for me to refer you to it each time rather than typing it out over and over. This way, you can all refer to it for insturctions each time! I am proud to tell you that we now have over 100 members in our blog ring! For now that is. Because occasionally I come across a blog that has not posted at all, I'll go ahead and delete them from the blog ring. Those who have never participated in our challenges are encouraged to please join in! During the course of this challenge, Queenlizzy mentioned that she had an idea for a writing challenge. . . so, hopefully, our next writing challenge (2006-11) is already in the works. . .check back for updates on this. Thank you all for your participation! It is So appreciated! Hugs~Kween EDIT: Do to circumstances beyond her control, Queenlizzy will have to hold off on hosting a new challenge. Her husband was promoted at his job and they are having to move to Alaska in the next few weeks! I don't want any more pressure on her than she already has, so I asked her if we should hold off and she thought that would be best. In the mean time, if any of the rest of you have any ideas and would like to guest host, just let me know. I'll be giving it some thought myself!
