Postage stamp Athon Jan 21-24

[somnia]

Sorry about that, Donna! I’m subscribed to the calendar and got excited when I saw not 1 but 2 new athons from you

I’ve never done a challenge before but it looks fun! Either time frame works for me.

[Donnacr]

I would vote for Feb 24-27 as it is then 2 weeks away from each of my 2 Athons and won't be too close to CynthiaSillitoe's 'No fooling' Athon at the start of April.

I LOVE your Challenge Athons and admire the way you can keep on top of all of us AND still have time to create - AMAZING!!
Will your work have quieted down by then?

somnia - no problems with telling people before me, keep up the enthusiasm

Donna, that timing is exactly what I was thinking too.

That week is an official "winter break" in Finland. It means that all schools (not universities) are on vacation. And that means I kind of have to be on vacation too because Hilla is not at school. We'll pack our craft supplies then and spend that week out of the city, again .

My trades went out today.

Last night I took my husband to the hospital because he had disturbing neurological symptoms. Today they are transferring him to a larger hospital to do a cerebral angiography to look for signs of an aneurysm or any other explanation for his symptoms. I can't be with him due to Covid.

[AngelJoy]

So sorry to hear that, KESager. My prayers go out to you and your family.

[KESagers]

Thank you!

I have just read that Loladog passed away on the 26th. I feel such grief for her family.

[AngelJoy]

Thank you!

Oh no! She was so sweet. She will be missed. I'm so sorry for her family as well... I'm so sad to hear this even though I know it was coming.

AND SNIISK has posted a HUNT art a thon. I love those.

[CastleQueen5]

Donnacr, since you asked, about themes. Let me pipe up,

I dont collect Holiday atc cards but I will gladly make them.

I like hearts. I like green.

Maybe "it isnt easy being green", "Have a heart", and of course postage stamps with hearts or love, sound good.
A very proud theme is "things we love". So of course I would make coffee, cats, sunflowers, zebra etc. So maybe that is too broad.

Places we love to visit or would love to visit.

Of course flowers.

Does that help?

[CastleQueen5]

I have been thinking of hosting a Challenge Hunt ATART some time sooner or later. I could do it for example in March. Or at the end of February (for example on Feb 24-27). If you would like to suggest new tasks, just send a PM. I have almost ready list for the next Challenge Hunt but I'm happy to add more "color" (= not my thoughts or ideas).

Any opinions?

I will brain storm some ideas.

[AngelJoy]

My mail is going out tomorrow. Thanks, donnacr, for a great athon!

[CynthiaSillitoe]

Mine are going in the mail tomorrow.

[Donnacr]

KESagers - my prayers are heading your way for Judd. I hope that the doctors find out what caused the problem and can fix it.

CastleQueen5 - thanks for all your suggestions, some of them have sparked other ideas for me as well

[sniisk]

More and more sad news coming .

[KESagers]

Judd is coming home today. We should be able to manage his condition with medication going forward.

[jo.on.the.go]

Kristin - so glad to hear the news about Judd

[letterdiva]

Kristin, relieving news he is home (or soon) and it can be managed.

[AngelJoy]

Judd is coming home today. We should be able to manage his condition with medication going forward.

Praise God!

[Donnacr]

KESagers - so happy for you both!
