By now, everybody is probably waiting for me to announce the new challenge, right?
All good things come to he who waits ... ;-)
Terri asked me to take a breather, and Melli is travelling this week, so I decided to wait one more week. But starting next week, I would love to get the new idioms challenge started.
The idea is to pick an idiom or an expression, ( slang might be interesting too) a saying, a proverb, a phrase ... and document it with a picture. After all, a picture paints a thousand words right? I'm really looking forward to see what we'll come up with.
As for the rules? I would like us to cover two letters a week, so I suggest we'll start next week and do A and B? Just be creative, that's all I'm asking.
As a matter of fact, I happened to find a couple of interesting thoughts on this subject this morning ...
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. ~George Smith Patton, War as I Knew It, 1947
Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work. ~Carl Sandburg, New York Times, 13 February 1959
It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water. ~Franklin P. Jones
So there, if there are any more questions, just put them in a comment and I'll do an update on this post, okay?
Oh and another thing. Any suggestions for a name or a title for this challenge?
In the mean time, I can't wait for you to jump on the bandwagon, and get this show on the road!
UPDATE: Terri asked about the letters of the alphabet. We'll use two each week, so next week, the idioms are supposed to start with A and B, you know like, " apple pie order", an apple a day ...

Sounds like a very interesting photo game.
I am not familiar with many idioms or expressions...so this sounds like fun and educational as well ;)
Jientje! Love your quotes this morning and the photo is great! Fun idea!
Idioms for Idiots? (just kidding)
Sounds like fun. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do in the next few weeks, I'll be super busy with travel and rehearsals and performances, but I'll do what I can!
Idioms for Intelligence? LOL. Hmmm wonder if I should attempt this...my iPhone and me snapping photos with idioms....might be well something I could do...Love the picture Jientje :)
I'm a little confused about the letters. Is the letter supposed to start the idiom?
Love the photo.
Oy! I better get to Googling!
Oooh I think I want to do the alphabet this time around!!! I'll come back with some idioms. See you soon.
I had started working on this at home - but all my stuff is on my desk top computer AT home. I will TRY to start this while I'm traveling... but I may have to catch up on the 2nd week once I am home! Computer time is just at a real MINIMUM right now!
