CHALLENGE COMPLETE

The original ones were better anyway, in my opinion. :) Welcome to the challenge!

How long is this challenge?

3 months Gennesse. Sorry about that! I edited the original post to reflect the duration.

Cherie, I was going to sign up for this in the beginning of the month, can I still backdate it?

Yes, you can backdate.

Oops Cherie. I had this on my private group and forgot to update it here. I hope it's ok. I'm spelling Teddy Bear Day! which was on the 9th of this month.

******CHALLENGE COMPLETE 4/25/19*****

Welcome, Rebecca and Connie!

Would it help if I set this up as a take 2, so that I can set links for you?

Or had you rather just leave it as is?

Just let me know :)

No I set up the link on my home computer anyway. But thanks.

Thank you for thinking of us but I've been using this for some time. I have plenty of new spell outs with no pressure. I never know when life is going to interfere with my love of reading!

This was a fun one!

*****CHALLENGE COMPLETE 4/15/20*****

Well done, Connie!! Probably, I should join you. Probably you are feeling a bit lonesome and need some company with this challenge.

I'd love to have your company, Jingles! But, then again, I can never resist a spell-out challenge, especially when it's relatively short, like this one.

I can't either, Connie...at least not for long :)
