May Word Nomination Time

April 23rd, 2014
As always it could not be easier…
Simply nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (The more times a word is mentioned, the greater the chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for the may14words.

Please make your suggestions for “Motivate-4-May” between now (4/23) and 12 a.m. Tuesday, April 29th, for them to be included. As always, if you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: 1st May Pole (for May Day) or 8th Feet (for No Sock Day).

You can check out more dates here:
May Holidays

There are seven bonus words for April and these will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Aries, Gemini (star signs) as well as Emerald (birthstone) Lily of the Valley and Hawthorne (birth flowers), so you do not need to ‘suggest’ those.

@denvern8v How about making it something more generic...like taco's or sombreros, or something along those lines?

30th - roses or red. In Australia May 30th is 65 Roses day, which raises money and awareness of Cystic Fibrosis (also called 65 roses by many kids who can't pronounce the disease they are inflicted with).

Sorry - but there's nowhere else to post this and I can find this in the old themes/competitions area...

Can someone please forward me the March word list? I just printed out the April one. I had surgery on my shoulder in March - still recovering - along with a host of other medical issues from a Halloween night fall down the stairs at work. Honestly, I haven't had a desire to even pick up my camera (heck, three weeks ago I couldn't have), but I want to catch up now and the word list is helpful. You can email it to me at KCoda@aol.com. Thank you!

P.S. I have no May suggestions since there are so many great ones already!

@kcoda Here you go, Kathy. I hope you are feeling better. http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21389/2014-muse-in-march
