Now I’m back it may be a good time to re-start the weekend theme.
For those who don’t know, it all started for me many years ago when I blogged at the Media24 blogs.I was interested in how many different people tgherewere, all expressing themselves in so many ways. But I wondered how interesting it would be if I gave them all something in common to write, draw or whatever for a blog post. So I started the then weekend challenge. It was fun, seeing just how differently people looked at the same word/few words.
That ran for quite a while, but when eventually people wanted to see “who did the best” and made it competitive, Some time later I became bored with the idea of people competing, that wasn’t what I’d hoped for. I stopped, and then several asked for it back. So I renamed it the weekend theme, trying to eliminate the competitive part and hopefully bring back the sharing of ideas and ways of expression.
How one joins in? – easy! Read the theme, create a blog post, in any way that appeals to you, using the theme. Then come back here and leave a message so that others can follow all the links to the varfious contributions, and use the klinks to go and read the others.
This weekend the theme is
Family Heirlooms
As usual the only rule is – have fun with it!

Processed. Solved the problem of which way to go by going both ways.

I don’t see the challenges as a competition, but as a prompt.
Great challenge!
My contribution is “Our Family Heirlooms”.

Take care.

I like the idea of just all having fun together, the world is competitive enough.
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:22 am
Nice to see your challenge back again, sidey. My family heirlooms are back in SA, unless I can dig up a couple of photos, but I’m not hopeful.
February 2nd, 2013 at 5:58 am
I hope you do, otherwise you will just have to write
February 2nd, 2013 at 7:05 pm

February 3rd, 2013 at 6:47 am
I am in, though I nex’d the Family and went with Heirloom only, except for a little ‘tracer’ towards the end. So thankful for no rules. This one like most of what I do doesn’t offer much in the form of ‘continuity’.
