Nerd Games Discussion Thread

Aww. This popped up in my Facebook memories.

No one calls him George. He’s Monkey. Or Butt… he mostly responds to Butt. Your mascot lives up to his name. :rofl:

I will try to catch up on tracking today. Sorry I got so far behind. I’ve been dealing with a fully ruptured long head tendon in my right arm. It’s slowed me down a lot. How is the spring season almost over?!

If anyone has a project photo they think would work well for the spring games cover photo, send me the pic or link. Ill be setting up the season in a few weeks.

I finally caught up on tracking. Would anyone be interested in helping with or taking over tracking? It involves using a Google Sheet to track each project and points. The sheet has a bunch of different tabs you have to switch between, and there are a few places you need to keep stats within the sheet, but it isn’t too complicated if you enjoy organization.

Message me if you’re interested!

Sorry to my team for being so absent last season, but life happens. I have high hopes for this season. I started working on stuff last night just for fun and to relax.

Same! I’m trying to scale back some of my projects, so hopefully I can get more accomplished. I used to be very good about creating a list of prompts and projects, but it sort of fell by the wayside, so I’m reviving it in the hope that it keeps me on track.

I received my pins yesterday :smiling_face:

Thank you @LovelyMiss and everyone who works so hard to run the games. They really encourage me to make more time for art and crafting, and I’m really grateful to you. The pins really entice me to do more as well.

I have proudly displayed them on my board.

My 15-year-old daughter keeps asking me if she can have them, and my answer is “no, I earned these!” I told her next year she’ll be old enough to earn them herself. She said “that’s too much work” :joy:

All the more reason she can’t have them, lol!!!

WOW! You’re getting a great collection @LindyBlues ! That display is so cute! You DID earn them and I’m glad you’re keeping them for yourself! :joy:

That is quite the collection! I would have tried to jump back in sooner if I knew there were pins, haha! (But I did get a little bump to start, thanks to the extra pins offered in the Fall!)
Thank you so much for the amazing pin challenges, @LovelyMiss ! It’s such a cool idea!
