A - Z Ideas

[Hope Russell]

I want to try the A - Z theme/project. I'm one of those people who has to have a plan before I begin a project. I've looked everywhere for a list of objects or ideas for the letters, but haven't found anything. So I made me own list. Some of the letters are needing help (D, I, J, K, N, O, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z).

I completed the A-Z challenge in April.. Feel free to check it out for ideas! It was a challenge, but definitely fun!

[Hope Russell]

@sparkle I looked at your A-Z and @looseimages. That was very helpful. Thank you.

@faire I like how you were more creative. Very oool!

@cfitzgerald I'm adding xeric to my list. If nothing else, so I can sound smart that I know what it means. Kindergarten? Wow, I was just learned words I could sound out then.

@mortisa I'm having fun just making the list. I hope the actual challenge is as fun.

@jessleeca I did check out your A-Z May. It was helpful. Thank you.

@sanera Thank you. Several of these are being added to my list.

@triplescoop Thank you. I checked out your A-Z and got a few ideas.
