Start dusting off your virtual visiting clothes

OK Blappers…or is that Scroggers?

We’re heading up to the end of May and the culmination of the Scrapbook Challenge - scrapbook layout about you.

Hurry up and get your layouts posted and join in. Don’t forget you don’t have to make a special layout just for this challenge unless you want to. You can use any layout about yourself that you have previously done. What! You’ve never scrapped a layout about You?? Shame on you! Now’s the time to remedy that situation.

Remember the rules are simple.

Post a layout about any aspect of you that you like on your blog by 31st May, and
Link it back to this blog (because I’m trying to monitor the pings)
And don’t forget, this is not a competition. There is no judging. I figure there’s plenty of other challenges out there to cater for your competitive streak, if you have one.

I’ll publish a list of links on my blog on 2nd June (by my blog calendar) to make sure that I don’t accidentally cut somebody’s May a bit short. Here in Oz we get to check out each day earlier than most of you (Kiwis excepted) and if it looks any good we pass it on to the rest of you.

When the list is published we all put on our best bib and tucker and get out there and visit each other, sharing some love on each others blogs and hopefully learning a little bit more about everyone. Catching up with some old friends and maybe making some new ones.

I’ve all ready bought a new bib for the occasion, but I’m having a bit of trouble finding a store that can sell me a tucker.

Sounds good to me and I hope to add another to the collection.

Your challenge encouraged me to finally do a layout of myself. Looking forward to seeing your list.

Still working on it–it’s close but not yet done. I can’t help you with where to find a tucker–but I just got a lovely vintage apron. Maybe that will do?

Hannah and Sharon, great that you’ve joined us.

Janine there’s no rules to say you can’t have more than one layout in the mix. Go for it.

Andrea happy to trade a tucker for your vintage apron ( just as soon as I find out what a tucker is). Hope you can join us. Alghough you’re kind of there by default since I used your kit on my layout.

Not sure if (or how) the ping-thing works, but mine is up No bib, no tucker, but I do have coffee and cookies for every visitor
“A Pinner or Tucker, is a narrow piece of Cloth - which compasseth the top of a Womans Gown about the Neck part.”
Best bib and tucker

I had no idea!

I’m trying to upload my post–but that goshdarn Matt broke the server again. I’m scheduled to work a double tomorrow so hopefully it will get fixed soon so I can go to bed…

Mine is up on my blog with a link back to here. Thanks for doing this!

Antoinette, Andrea, Pat, thanks for joining in.

Andrea’s ping worked but Antoinette’s and Pat’s didn’t. Suspect the function has been disabled on their blogs.

Karen! Thanks so much for including mine! I’ve got it up now will have to change the link back to here, once the voting is over of course;) I’d love to be included. Can’t wait to see what everyone does:)
