Okay, here we are, the proposal for how we would structure it. Please have a read, and then post on the UKS group or here if you are not there yet or for Borqna, as I know you can get it translated :)

Countdown and reminder, maybe Suzie would link us up?

Full Calendar of events for the next month/5 weeks - I thought the scavenger hunt that Anne did was brilliant with a list of things to do, everyone would know what was coming up and know that there is less time pressure.
Week 1 Tuesday 1st January - Sun 6th January

Monday 25th March
Individual prompt
The blog would then be the central point where everyone can link up their photos. Everyone is used to doing that now :)
Anyone who is doing an individual prompt can either have the passwords and do it them selves or if they feel they wouldn’t know how to or want to they could give us the information and we could do it for them.
So it could be as simple as thinking up a theme and then having five prompt words for it just once or twice over the whole year if there are those that don’t feel confident or want to do a lot of the ‘admin’.
Anyone who does want to do the admin could run as many of the weeks as they want to.
I did also think that we could have surprise prompts a few times through the year, with something a bit different......
Jenni this structure and plan is brilliant, thank you to you for the time to put this on last night while busy doing the CC challenge of Annette's!! Dis you get your boxes made?
ReplyDeleteThank you to others who communicated with you with the structure ideas too (Anne and Kathi?) xxx
Will post later today on our SG thread when I have had a good think and had our flu jabs :(
This sounds good Jen! Once you've set up the blog let me know and I will certainly link to you!
ReplyDeleteJust a point - the Mr Linky thing - to have the thumbnail with the link, you have to pay (I can't remember how much ... I think it was around $20 per 6 months? Not sure) ... you can have just a 'line' linky thing for free (with no picture). Have a look at the InLinkz website. Also look around as there may be other better ones out there now :)
Ok, thanks for letting me know, i'll investigate, if I can use it on more than one blog I might invest :)
DeleteAlso, I'm happy to help with the admin side of it all, as long as it's not a daily commitment ;) :D
ReplyDeleteGreat, thank you :)
DeleteI was all ready to say no, as I've been struggling a bit to keep up. But I like the sound of this as it is much more flexible and would keep me scrapping. I did join UKS a very long time ago so will go back and see if I need to rejoin. Thanks for setting this up, I don't think I'd have time to do much admin but would do an individual prompt and happy to post that myself.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a nuisance but could you make the background white so I can copy it? I find it difficult to read and take things in on the computer. If it's too much trouble It's OK.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it - I wrote a long comment yesterday and then blogger made a mistake and it disappeared. To cut it short - I am in, love all your ideas, if and when you need a volunteer for individual weeks I can do it. It seems I am the only one who can't put a picture to her profile on UK scrappers. I have my photo (small...) on my page but it doesn't show in my group.
