Sounds daunting to me but I can't wait to see what it is about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167948 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:06:10 +0000 Thistle 1167948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167936 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 20:52:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1167936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167888 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 19:37:08 +0000 LoriFLA 1167888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a challenge!

Two Hannas. YOU have a brilliant memory, April. HannaC was from Haifa, and other Hanna went back to Indonesia to look after family.

The Hanna who did the challenges was another delightful Hanna, while our Israeli Hanna went by&nbsp;HannaC. &nbsp;</p> <p>At some point in her style journey, Hanna of the challenges became more devout in her religion. &nbsp;Remember her little face peeking out from her hijab? &nbsp;I see that she's been away from the forum for five years now -- time does fly.</p> <p>I sound like such a&nbsp;geezer.</p> <p>And my sis is well, thank you. &nbsp;She'll be thrilled that you asked. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167765 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:25:02 +0000 shedev 1167765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167758 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:18:05 +0000 Angie 1167758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. Hanna from Haifa in&nbsp;Israel. I miss her too. Thanks for the clarification, and jogging my memory,&nbsp;April. I miss your sis on this forum too. Hope she is well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't worry, ladies. It will become clearer once the games commence. You won't need to purchase anything new for your challenge unless off course - you want to. And you can delay the challenge a little if you're on a trip or something happens. We simply move onto the next YLF-er while you get sorted. And if the challengee is concerned with her challenge - she is allowed to say so to the challenger. We work on the challenge until everyone is happy. This&nbsp;has to stay fun and win-win, so really, don't worry about anything.&nbsp;</p> <p>April, lets leave me off the lists till right at the end - like last time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167744 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:53:44 +0000 NDMom 1167744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167681 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:15:34 +0000 April 1167681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For everyone seeking clarification, let me see if I can explain the challenge chain&nbsp;more clearly.</p> <p>Everyone who opts in gets put on a numbered list:</p> <p>1. &nbsp;YLFer1<br />2. &nbsp;YLFer2<br />3. &nbsp;YLFer3</p> <p>and so on. &nbsp;Once we know who's participating, I go to a random number generator and enter the number of people on the list. &nbsp;So if we have 20 people, I ask the generator to randomly select a number between 1 and 20.</p> <p>Say it gives me the number 7. &nbsp;I see who is number 7 on the list, and I give that person a challenge. &nbsp;Maybe I know the person and what they're currently working on in their wardrobe, or maybe I have to go back and read some of their posts to learn more. &nbsp;</p> <p>YLFer7 completes the challenge and posts photos. &nbsp;Applause ensues. &nbsp;</p> <p>I then go to the random number generator and kick out a new number for YLFer7, who issues a challenge to&nbsp;<i>that&nbsp;</i>person. &nbsp;And so on. &nbsp;The last person on the list comes back around and offers a challenge to me, the challenge organizer who kicked off the whole chain.</p> <p>Does that help explain things? &nbsp;(How I miss Hanna -- the originator of the challenge chains!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge/page/2#post-1167674 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:10:23 +0000 Elly 1167674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge#post-1167669 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:06:53 +0000 kkards 1167669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i'm up for a challenge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shall-we-do-a-challenge#post-1167656 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:57:05 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1167656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in too!

Can you please clarify?&nbsp;Does one participant have to complete the challenge before she can challenge the next one?
