Hey lady loves...There has been lots of emails/opinions/preferences brought to my attention about how everyone wants the Flickr groups to be set up.
I am all about working to make things better - working to do things to make this easy and fun as opposed to a pain in the _____. I don't want to change the blog and the groups every couple of weeks - and I also have come to the realization that I will never, ever be able to make everyone happy. So let's try to come up with something...and get back to the photos, the writing, and the creating.
So...here is the dealio. I have created a poll to the left. Please vote...and vote only once. I will NOT have a new Overlooked up in the morning. This week will give everyone the opportunity to vote - Give me a chance to create a widget - And to take care of a sick husband and two sick boys. (The girls - Marley Jane and myself are going strong)
Also at the bottom left there is a spot to enter your email to be notified of Overlooked blog updates. (also an overlooker request) I aim to please. :o)
Have a good week.

Motive
It is my desire, hope, dream for us to share everyday little things with each other.
I want to see 100 different mousepads, 100 different pencil cups...whatever the subject may be.
everyday objects.
everyday preferences.
everyday routines.
everyday little big things.
everyday people sharing these everyday things.

The Way It Works
Part I
*Snap It.
Take a picture of assigned object and share it ASAP.
Call me nosey, call me impatient...but as soon as you see the assigned subject...I want that picture taken and I want it uploaded into the gallery! That was a driving force of inspiration to me when wanting to start this challenge. I can't wait to see all these photos bunched together. Women/Men from all walks of life, women/men with different tastes and preferences, but the same object.
Even if you have no desire to create the scrapbook page, or write anything down. Take the picture and share it!
No posers allowed.
This means you don't get to organize, clean, or straighten up any of the assigned subjects. You don't get to go out and buy a better, newer, shinier one. You don't get to add or take away. You have to be true to yourself and the camera by snapping things as they are. It reflects you, your personality and a time in your life. When you look back you will know if thats really how your sock dwarer looked all the time.
Part II
*Jot It. Get that pencil, pen, crayon, or keyboard ready and write down some thoughts with the journaling prompts provided. I will have extra credit options that will let you go further than just the inital journaling ideas. Its totally up to you if you want to be a teachers pet. :o)
Part III
*Make It. Make a scrapbook page or a journal entry using the combination of the picture you snapped, and the journaling you jotted.
Share It. Share it with me. Share it with us. Let us be inspired. There is no other you. There is no other page like yours, diversity is beautiful, originality is respected. We all have a place in this crazy world.

You're the BEST :) Thanks for the Blogarith!!
Hope your fam gets to feeling better!
Try not to stress! You're right, you can't please everyone - but I LOVE what you've done so far! :)
Well i have finished my Lo for subject two and it can be found on my blog.
Hope that the family gets better soon.
don't worry about the few whiners...just do it your own way,... if they don't like it they can always go somewhere else to play. It is supposed to be a fun thing........
This has been so much fun. I'm still needing to do the layout for collection and get things uploaded to where ever, but really appreciate what you've done. I voted, and I hope your family feels better quickly. My dad always said if you're pleasing everyone, you're not standing up for anything important. It's probably not totally relevant here, but it has helped me more than once to remember that. Thanks for everything.
ashley wren, i ♥ u!
i have officially declared tonight "overlooked" catch up night for me.
so i'll be posting you some pictures wherever you decide soon.
okay ... I am bad,m and I have overlooked this link in my favorites list!! BAD BAD ME!
I voted for one over all, but only with this proviso ...
we need to have a set keyword to look them up. Even if it is something totally stupid that does not relate to the piece, that way we can seperate the entries if we like in a search.
sorry to be one of the "whiners" but I have a busy on line life, and I won't be able to keep up with what I considered to be a ROCKIN' idea. I will have to go "play somewhere else" if there are lots of groups and I asked for the change because I don't WANT to have to stop being part of the group. There are a lot of reasons besides convenience to argue for keeping just 2 groups.
cool.. you are very accommodating!
Take care and I hope the family gets better soon. Don't worry too much I'm sure we'll be fine whatever you decide.
Thanks for such a great challenge and I look forward to the next one xx
Do as you please, please!?
You're great and take care of your family and yourself.
Love this challenge, and I'm just counting down now. 7-6-5.... nights and then..... Feeling a kid again!
Agree with bumblevee!
Don't worry please!
I am just thankful that you have this blog going! You can run it anyway you see fit! I really enjoyed joining this last time, and even got the kiddies into it...so keep 'em coming!
{{{hugs}}} to the men in your life - hope they are better soon.
Thanks for all you are doing I am enjoying the challenges although I have not necessarily been contributing to the Flikr group.
Keep up the fab work - it is appreciated
I think that is very, very cool you are asking our opinions. :)
I think some people need to realize, however, that people aren't necessarily "whining" but being honest that they will not add a new Flickr group every week if that is the case. I love you and this blog, yet I hope not to have to do that. Simple as that.
[Again, I seem to pretty much ditto whatever Rachel Whetzel says ;)]
i think it's perfect just the way it is miss ashers, just like you.

I am taking so long getting my mini book finished! It's really bugging me, but I am really trying to finish my daughter's college album by March 12! So, everything else is on hold till then.
