Check-In Post June 1st 2021

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Wow! It sounds fun but complicated and time consuming. Who knows, maybe it will inspire some people from here to give it a try. Not me though, writing and gardening take up too much of my time so my crafting has to be squeezed into spare moments. Plus I'm not a gamer *grins* That kind of rules me out.

Me, too. I won't be able to handle the pressure. It does sound fascinating, though.

It IS fun, and only as time-consuming as you make it. I make a point to tell me team that we love you even if life gets in the way and you don't have time to craft anything. But like I said above, I realize this kind of challenge isn't for everyone; for every person who feels inspired by the challenges, there's someone who would feel pressured or constrained, and that's okay!

But in case there ARE others reading along who might be interested in playing, here's the team list for the current tournament:

* 1 More Page - book lovers
* 221b - Sherlock Holmes fans
* Co-op - Fans of Games of all kinds
* Fraggle - Jim Henson fans
* Once Upon A Time - TV shows and movies about fairy tales and magic
* Paranormal Investigations - pretty much what it says, fans of the X-Files and similar shows
* Precious - Lord of the Rings fans
* Rangers - Babylon 5 fans
* Shady Cels - fans of animation and anime
* Space Alliance - fans of shows/movies set in space or featuring aliens (Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc)
* TARDIS - Doctor Who fans
* Task Force - fans of all things Mystery - especially Mystery Writers, like Castle and Murder She Wrote - all things Squinty - evidence based Police Procedurals like Bones, NCIS, CSI, Blue Bloods, Longmire, and Quincy, ME - and the TV series Psych
* UU - fans of Terry Pratchett

I could qualify for at least half of those teams, but I'm not going to. I have OCD, and if I joined in I'd be going all out, I know what I'm like, super-competitive and easily stressed. I never do anything by halves.

I wish you and your team luck in the coming tournament, and I hope you'll stick around and share with us how you're getting on with your various projects so we can cheer you to victory!

(Plus, if any other team members are interested, they're welcome to join us here. We're always happy to welcome new people).
