January 3rd Weekly SH*T List

January 3rd, 2019
Happy New Year, Everyone! Welcome to the first version of the Weekly So Happy It’s Thursday (SH*T) list, a handy compilation of the many themes and challenges that can be found here at 365 Project.

The name is the acronym of the words 'So Happy It's Thursday', (SH*T). Just as everyone understands that TGIF stands for 'Thank Goodness It's Friday', Thursday's acronym is not quite as polite but very effective. This list is usually posted early Thursday morning (EST), but will occasionally get posted later if there is something going on in my life.

For those who are not sure what the challenge is all about, just click on the link and it will bring you right to the original post that has all the rules and information needed to enter. I have also spelled the acronym in full for further clarity.

While the Weekly SH*T list only lists the ending date of the current challenges, please go through the discussion board to find challenges to be voted on. Voting can be just as important as participation and is generally the most fun and exciting part of the challenges.

I also find that there are a ton of interesting topics to be found on the discussion board that I do not mention in the SH*T list such as Flash Back Fridays and opportunities to post your favourite Fav’s and other photos. Please go back a couple of pages through the Discussion board to find these gems that might get buried quickly when there is a lot of activity on the Discussion board.

Don’t forget to hit the link to check out the details of any challenges you are considering in case I may have messed up the dates or such.

JackieR reply @30pics4jackiesdiamond has given us an opportunity to reflect on 2018 and post our very favourite shot (or two) in this thread:

Along with the new look at 365, the Weekly theme has morphed into a monthly theme. January is Rule of Thirds.

@farmreporter Thank you for creating the weekly sh*t list it’s great having all the challenges together. I’m sure that this page is appreciated by many 365ers
January 6th, 2019
Thanks for doing this Wendy and continuing the 52POM2018 by reminding people with this thread even though I went AWOL!!
January 8th, 2019
@farmreporter Wendy...I need your help. I am hosting the mfpiac81 challenge and only have 1 entry. I have seen some great mosaic shots on 365 so I don't know if everyone is just busy, didn't like the subject or if they found it too difficult or what?!? Do I extend the date or just announce the winner on Jan 11th with the one entry??? Thank you for your help!
January 8th, 2019
@gardenfolk
Yes - the deadline is coming up fast. You could extend the deadline by a couple of weeks.
Then, set up the voting with what you have ... I'm sure you will be getting more entries but it is a busy time of the year.
It's a great subject and I imagine that everyone is just really busy It does happen every so often and it is so frustrating when you are the person it happens to!
January 8th, 2019
@bella_ss
It was my pleasure to include it. I know that many members really enjoyed your challenge!
January 9th, 2019
