Since there’s been a lot of crafting going we, we’ve added a few bonus prompts for the Quarantine Season!

SPRING QUARANTINE BONUS PROMPTS!!!
Extra prompts for the Spring Session, since a lot of us have a bit of extra time on our hands! Weather-themed, what else?

  • Crying in the Rain - want to be outside but the weather’s not cooperating? Craft something to use indoors, or that requires water to complete!
  • Outside in the Sun - enjoying a nice spring (or fall, Southern Hemisphere!) day outside? Craft something nature-themed, or that is bright yellow!
  • Verily, is that a Funnel Cloud? - worst part of spring in the midwest! Craft something that makes a huge mess
  • In a Freak Snowstorm? - April snow happens! Craft something that is unexpected, or cold, or white.
  • Dreary Foggy Day - craft something that is grey, or has translucent qualities.

I just want to add that these prompts still get the normal points and a raffle ticket for each one you craft for. We thought it would be fun to have a few extra prompts since many of us seem to be crafting up a storm (ha! See what I did there? :rofl:).

Oh my goodness! Yes, yes, yes!!! I am still working 40 hours but since I don’t have my normal hour each way commute, (yep, that is 10 hours a week in the car) I have so much more time to get stuff done. Thank you so much for the extra prompts. I was just about to do something boring, like clean my room. Pfft! :laughing:

I had to laugh when I saw these. I wrote and asked if we were going to have Red Alerts because of May the Fourth. Bahahaha! You were one step ahead of me. Great theme and prompts! I was in need of a little more motivation too. I felt myself getting a bit lazy in the last week. :blush: :running_woman:t2: :scissors:

Thank you for the fun prompts, @Smeddley!

I’m almost caught up with tracking. May was a crazy month already, but then I ended the month by beginning my first D&D campaign ever. It’s been a lot of fun!

I will try to get the tracking update finished tomorrow.

Tracking Update!

Useful Info

Before I begin the update, I wanted to let everyone know that several of you have reached out to me about the tracking sheet. It’s hard to find your name to view your checklist because so many names are listed. I figured out a solution tonight.

If you now find your name in the team roster and click on it, you should be linked directly to your sheet. If your name links to someone else’s sheet, let me know and I can fix it :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for the update and the pic of Monkey! He looks like he is growing up to be a handsome man.

He turned 18 weeks old today. He’s huge! The tech at his last appointment weighed him three times because she thought he’d be almost 9 pounds. He was just shy of 6. There’s a lot of floof

My kitty wasn’t acting right yesterday so I took her to the vet and got her some antibiotics. She is already acting normal again, but the vet called her chubby. I told him she was really fluffy. He agreed and said she was fluffy AND chubby. LOL! Oh well. I tried to defend her but when I said she wasn’t acting right, I mean she skipped breakfast. I knew something was wrong. My fluffy girl never misses a meal. :laughing:
