A Massive-March thank you to everyone who took part in our Mull-Over-March challenge and to all of you who suggested words to Label-4-April. In total we had 505 words nominated and this is how I have compiled our list:
- Firstly I added the words that were nominated for specific dates (for example 18th ‘Hand’ for National High Five day and 22nd for Earth day.
- I then put some similar words together like ‘Showers/Umbrella’ and ‘Money/Coins’.
- I then counted up the number of times that the words were nominated and attaching those to the matching date (for example “Stained Glass” was nominated 5 times so is on the 5th)
- Where there were two or more with the same count, I added these randomly throughout the month.
- Some words that I have not included as they have been used in recent months, this includes ‘Bunnies’ (sorry about that)
- As agreed in previous months, the following words are bonus words each month; Birthday and Anniversary along with the Star Signs and Birth Stones.
Please note that the dates are just recommendations and you do not have to stick to them, you can use any of the 36 words in any order you like, if you wish to.

Not sure who suggested April 2 Autism "Light it up Blue" but A huge THANK YOU from my heart to you!! My 18yr old is Autistic so this means everything to me!!
Thank you @bulldog for all the hard work you must put in for this challenge, a great list! Keeps me inspired especially with all this dull weather we are having at moment. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you too! I'd made up my mind to pass on the word of the day for April but then I saw what a good list it is! Thanks for all your dedication and hard work.
@bulldog What a lot of work you have put into this. I've struggled a bit with March and had almost decided to duck out of April, but the list has inspired me! I'm in.
@bulldog
Looks brilliant, Graham. I was a little alarmed at the word for 27th so I'm glad you explained it...!! :)
Happy Easter to you, yours and everyone. (That's everyone then!)
Great list.Thanks for your hard work. Might be missing on some days, holidays etc but hope to do most of them
I nearly wished you a happy birthday till I realised that Amanda F was actually posting to Laurie F and not you!
Easter wishes to you and all my 365er friends
Great list! Thanks , I'll be joining in again this month.
Is there anyway to look at all the March words shots on the 365 site? Sorry about probably such a simple query.
Happy Easter.
I am going to try my best to do this list bulldog. I haven't been doing the list. a lot going on and now that it is suppose to be spring lol. maybe I can get this april list done. Thanks for still adding me to the list...
@bulldog So you don't have to do every word on the list? I've never done these because I thought I had to do each word to participate and I like doing a variety of challenges. I will set my mind to do some of the words since it does look like an interesting list.
You don't have to do them all, or in the right order. Some people try every word on the right day, some do some days and there own shots other days and some just use the list as inspiration now and then.
There are no rules and no winner. Its call about taking part and commenting on others... @myhrhelper
@bulldog Thank you for the selction of the words and all the work behind it. It is an interesting challenge: I like the idea that it is more easy going and you are allowed a certain freedom in the choice of words and in participation. I'll give it a try, even if I won't be able to complete the list.
@bulldog Thanks for sending this out- I'll be popping in and out throughout the month- taking a breather of sorts from the regular daily challenge routine. But there are some fun ones here, I'm looking forward to!
Tweets ahoy!
