         Ahh, isn’t it wonderful? I love sitting back on the palace steps, sipping on a glass of sweet tea, and watching the goings on in the kingdom. I’m really not much for the heat, but all the skin is rather nice. Which brings me to our challenges. The photo prompts haven’t been doing very well lately, so we’re going to give them a wee break in favor of … lists!

         Challenge I: It’s nearly summer here on the northern side of the world! June 21st is the first day and we’re going to celebrate it with a list of 15 things we love about summer. These could be favorite summer memories or something as simple as sweet tea on the porch. But there’s a catch. Inspired by some clever KotQ Survey respondent, and since this challenge is taking the place of a photo prompt, the requirement for this list is that it must be told entirely with pictures! So get your Google Image search on (or use your own) and show us, don’t tell us, some of your favorite things about the season. Have fun!

         Challenge II: Along the same lines, this is another suggestion from someone else who responded to the KotQ Survey (and again, I wish I knew who it was so I could properly thank them!), but tell us — what are your top 25 moments in life? You don’t have to do this one in pictures, but bonus points if you do. =)

         Those who do both challenges will get pretty little stars (re: asterisks) by their names when I link to the entries (do them in separate posts so you get twice the recognition). This post will also be plugged for a whole week, so it’s free advertising for your site if you’re linked here. Kweeny doesn’t have many credits left, so it’s a last ditch effort to pick things up around here. So what are you waiting for!? Get to it!

  

  Just copy and paste the code below into your weblog to link back to this site!
  It should come out looking exactly like the picture above. Tutorial here.

  • Have fun. 

  Happy writing! Be sure to check out everyone’s entries. I’m sure they appreciate your feedback.
