Cool! Very informal kind of challenge. I don't know how to run a normal one. Any suggestions would be okie doke.
Well, maybe you could use the sun from your original post as the official icon of the challenge. Then we could list it with the other challenges.
Mary: Thanks. Go ahead and copy and paste it for you blog. I don't know how to make links or that fancy nancy schtuff. I'll start informally and see how I like it.
