While I was over checking the names, I came across the blog's latest challenge. Now while there were only 2 and 1/2 days left to enter, there were no entries. As you know, lately I haven't had the time to enter any challenges. It isn't so much that I can't take 10 minutes to find a few to enter, the problem is that I am so busy I never get a chance to check on the outcomes until it is too late which makes taking those 10 minutes to enter, wasted time. I have no time to waste. However, for some reason I was drawn to create for this challenge. The Link up looked lonely and since I don't like to be lonely myself, I figured I would create a card to keep it company. It helped that the theme was clean and simple. That I can manage in just a couple days.
Now of course, by the time I created and entered my card, others had joined in but that is perfectly okay because now the link up would have someone else to talk to when it and my card ran out of things to say.
No I am not crazy.
Well at least I didn't think I was crazy. However, when I went back over to the challenge just now to confirm I had all the details correct, the link up is now saying that there is 26 days to link up. Ummm...my reasoning for creating the card in the first place seem a bit silly now given all that extra time there is for linking up. The Link up is sure to get some more projects joining in so it really won't be lonely after all. I suppose it should be the thought that counts. Even if those thoughts are a little off the rails.
Here is my card and the details. I hope I haven't missed anything...
