turps

There really isn't a way for Fans to talk about that particular hobby, is there!

Not at all! But you are right, crafting is good for the soul, at least, he really enjoys it. Even if supplies are starting to take over.

I think sometimes challenges just don't work for people, even if they have done in the past. I know in past Snowflakes I bailed after one challenge because I wasn't feeling it. While in other years I've done them all.

I've been talking about this with a couple of people this year, and I do think the longer you've done them, sometimes a feeling of, I've said all this before creeps in. For example, the tropes challenge, I made a comment to a responder that my flist friends could answer for me I've answered about it so often. The problem is, for everyone who has done the challenges from the start there are also newbies with new things to say and wanting a platform to say them. So I get it's a delicate balancing act.

But I am sorry it didn't work for you this year. Like I said in the post I didn't do too many challenges this year and linked even fewer to the comm, but I did enjoy reading responses. It was like I was getting all the good parts without doing any work myself.

Also, I hope your cold goes and you feel much better soon ♥
