Challenges 2 & 3

As promised, I am issuing the next two challenges (yes, two at once – can you believe it??) You can choose to participate in one, both or neither . . . it’s all up to you!

Challenge #2 – The Great “No Money Honey” Challenge (hee hee!)
In this challenge, you are to spend nothing, zero, zilch on your secret pal. How is that a challenge you might ask? Because you need to do SOMETHING for your pal for 5 days out of a two week period. It can be 5 days in a row, it can be 5 randomly chosen days. It cannot however be 5 times in one day. (!) Starting on Monday, February 23rd and continuing through to Friday, March 6th this challenge will make you think creatively. You can write a note to your pal, cut out their favorite comic from the paper, re-gift something that they may like but just isn’t you, make something (using things you have on hand, not things you have to go out and buy), pack them a lunch when you pack yours (assuming you make a decent lunch AND know that your pal has no allergies). Anyway, the sky’s the limit creatively but $0.00 is the limit financially. Have fun and on March 6th I’ll send out the e-mail asking if you participated (again, as the GIVER not the receiver.)

Challenge #3 – The St. Patrick’s Day Dollar Store Challenge (like you didn’t see that one coming!)
Same thing as Valentine’s day, only this time it will be St. Patrick themed. Dollar Stores, 5 Below, the Dollar area at Target are the only places you can peruse for your goodies. They don’t all have to be SPD branded but there should be an overlying theme. I’m issuing this challenge early so that we don’t run in to the same issue as last time (I issued the challenge too close to Valentine’s Day and the stores had been pretty picked over. Start early but deliver your gift on March 17th. (Or a day or so earlier, but not later.) On the 17th I’ll send out the e-mail asking if you participated.

Please continue to use the blog if you’d like to publically thank your pal or just share the awesomeness that they are. However, you no longer HAVE to post there if your pal fulfilled a challenge. Enjoy . . . and happy hunting!
