YLF Challenge Chain: thank yous and goodbyes :)

honestly, so far there hasn't been a single person here who hasn't knocked their challenge out of the park (not like i expected anyone to anyway). i guess that just goes to show how much we have learned from angie, and from each other!

i wanted to post this now because i am leaving early tomorrow morning on my grand summer road trip, and while i know the challenge will keep going (last few participants!), i just wanted to tell everyone how happy i am that you all participated, whether by being challenged or just by leaving comments, and how much it makes me smile to see the results that came out of it. the challenges were supremely creative, and the challengees interpreted them BEAUTIFULLY. you are all an inspiration.

i am sorry to that i slipped up so many times in the organization, but there were many wonderful people that helped me pick up the slack - thank you to bella especially.

if you guys really enjoyed this challenge, i will definitely look to issue more in the future :).

here's a recap:

jewelrygirl and happylife, can't wait for you guys to come back and complete the chain! :):)

did you guys enjoy the challenge chain -- actually, i guess i should ask ARE you enjoying the challenge chain so far, since it's not over yet? did it help you hammer home any lessons angie's been trying to impart to us? share in the comments!

Hanna, the Challenge has been a blast. I've enjoyed participating and seeing how creative everyone has been with their outfits and their challenges. Thank you so much! I hope you have a great trip.
PS: What's our next challenge?

shiny

Thank YOU, Hanna! Have a great trip!

Yes, what is the next challenge?

Hanna, thank you and have a great trip!

I am also waiting for the next challenge

bella

Thank you Hanna! I know I have been overzealous in trying to keep the game going. I am sorry if I stepped on your toes from time to time, I just couldn't wait till it was my turn and I could play.

Also, I know that happylife and jewelrygirl are expected to issue challenges for lwc and legacy of pearl, respectively. LWC and LoP have been such great sports, contributed to the game so candidly that I think it would be a shame to let the game end without issuing them a challenge. My suggestion is that if happylife and Jewelrygirl are not back by the time both lists are completed, a challenge should be issued for LWC and LoP. Either Angie can do it or we could all chip in with ideas. What do you think?

hanna

aww, i'm glad you guys have enjoyed it :)) look out for a new challenge when i return!

bella, don't apologize! i know i wasn't able to catch to a lot of things in the middle of the challenge, and i really appreciate your help. yes, i do think that once we reach the end of the chain, we should issue challenges for lwc and LoP -- if JG and happylife aren't able to join us by then of course! as for how we'd go about it, i like the idea of angie issuing those challenges -- what do you guys think? and what say you, angie?

Thank YOU Hanna for being a GREAT challenge organizer! Don’t for a second think that you weren’t on the ball when you totally were. The challenges have been OUTSTANDING in every sense. Such fun!

I’m happy to issue challenges if that is the forum wish, but let’s revisit the thread of challenge ideas first and make sure there aren’t more exciting options that we've missed. I remember several ideas that sounded fun and between us we can think up creative ways to keep them going. Let’s hear from others too.

Have a fabulous trip and travel safely! We’ll miss you and eagerly await your return :0)

aww, thank you angie! i'm glad

i think bella was suggesting that you issue the challenges for the challenge chain, for lwc and legacyofpearl, as jewelrygirl and happylife seem to be busy... would that be okay? i'm happy to revisit the other thread and issue a BRAND NEW challenge when i return

Thanks for the clarification Hanna, yes, that's what I meant.

Also, I think we should have a YLF traveling scarf! It would probably be best to wait for the fall for this once since it is easier to integrate scarves into warm weather outfits.

Oh! Sorry :0(. Blonde moment.

Of course I'll issue challenges for Lesley and LOP. Just tell me when !

Hanna, if I ever figure out how to post pictures I want to play one of the challenges. Seeing everyone's challenges and outfits was such fun. BTW, did I miss Encore's challenge outfit? I can't seem to find what she came up with.

Kristen

Thanks for setting this one up, hanna, and have a great trip! We'll be looking for you when you get back.

This has been a blast!

Vani

Have a great trip hanna!

You are so sweet to post this challenge summary. You are so awesome to have organized our little challenges, it has been SO much fun

Michelle

I've loved being a challenge participant; thank you for organizing it! Such fun to see what a creative bunch of ladies we have here.

Travel safe and have a great time!

kimlee

Hanna the challenge was great fun! Thank you so much!

Thanks again for organizing the challenge Hanna, I had so much fun seeing everybody's outfits, and creating one for myself. I have definitely learned to look more closely at the individual items in my closet and not to dismiss certain combinations too quickly.

And I'm now an even bigger fan of pins!-)

Have a marvellous trip Hanna!!

Laura

Have a great trip, Hanna! You did an absolutely stellar job of organizing us and keeping the fun going! Thanks!!

yublocka

Hanna you completely rocked this challenge- it was so much fun!!! I hope your trip away is that much fun for you too!! Stay safe!!!

Bumping this up to remind Sihaya that once she completes Anne's challenge, she will be challenging me.

Also, we have not heard from rosebudrmm from Kyle's challenge earlier this week, have we? Perhaps we should have Kyle challenge Bellacville, so we can close out the loop?

I hate to be a nudge about this, but Bella and I have been patiently waiting our turns since we issued the first challenges and got the ball rolling. I'm pretty sure we're both really looking forward to finally getting to participate!

I hope everything is well with Encore. We haven't heard from her in a while.

I hope so too.

Lesley and LOP, would you like me to challenge you?

LoP

Hi Angie! Please do. I'll be back home on Saturday so I finally have access to my full closet. I can do the challenge this weekend.

Kristen, thanks for bringing this up! I really want to play, too. I would be delighted if Kyle (or Angie) could post a challenge for me.
